Leviticus 13 (LXX)

1ΚΑΙ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν λέγων·Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2ἀνθρώπῳ ἐάν τινι γένηται ἐν δέρματι χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ οὐλὴ σημασίας τηλαυγής, καὶ γένηται ἐν δέρματι χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ ἁφὴ λέπρας, ἀχθήσεται πρὸς Ἀαρὼν τὸν ἱερέα, ἢ ἕνα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν ἱερέων.“When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that may be an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.

3καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν δέρματι τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ ἐν τῇ ἁφῇ μεταβάλῃ λευκή, καὶ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς ταπεινὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτός, ἁφὴ λέπτρας ἐστί· καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτόν.The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.

4ἐὰν δὲ τηλαυγὴς λευκὴ ᾖ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ταπεινὴ μὴ ᾖ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτοῦ οὐ μετέβαλε τρίχα λευκήν, αὐτὴ δέ ἐστιν ἀμαυρά, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.

5καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ἁφὴ μένει ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, οὐ μετέπεσεν ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον.On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.

6καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς αὐτὸν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ τὸ δεύτερον. καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀμαυρὰ ἡ ἁφή, οὐ μετέπεσεν ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι· καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· σημασία γάρ ἐστι· καὶ πλυνάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καθαρὸς ἔσται.The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.

7ἐὰν δὲ μεταβαλοῦσα μεταπέσῃ ἡ σημασία ἐν τῷ δέρματι, μετὰ τὸ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν τὸν ἱερέα τοῦ καθαρίσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τὸ δεύτερον τῷ ἱερεῖ.But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.

8καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέπεσεν ἡ σημασία ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· λέπρα ἐστί.The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.

9καὶ ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐὰν γένηται ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ, καὶ ἥξει πρὸς τόν ἱερέα·When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.

10καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐλὴ λευκὴ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ αὕτη μετέβαλε τρίχα λευκήν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑγιοῦς τῆς σαρκὸς τῆς ζώσης ἐν τῇ οὐλῇ,The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,

11λέπρα παλαιουμένη ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ δέρματι τοῦ χρωτός, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν.it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.

12ἐὰν δὲ ἀνθοῦσα ἐξανθήσῃ ἡ λέπρα ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ καλύψῃ ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τῆς ἁφῆς ἀπὸ κεφαλῆς ἕως ποδῶν, καθ᾿ ὅλην τὴν ὅρασιν τοῦ ἱερέως,But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,

13καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδού ἐκάλυψεν ἡ λέπρα πᾶν τὸ δέρμα τοῦ χρωτός, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, ὅτι πᾶν μετέβαλε λευκόν, καθαρόν ἐστι.the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.

14καὶ ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ὀφθῇ ἐν αὐτῷ χρὼς ζῶν, μιανθήσεται,But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.

15καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν χρῶτα τὸν ὑγιῆ, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιής, ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι· λέπρα ἐστί.When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.

16ἐὰν δέ ἀποκαταστῇ ὁ χρὼς ὁ ὑγιής, καὶ μεταβάλῃ λευκή, καὶ ἐλεύσεται πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα,But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.

17καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέβαλεν ἡ ἁφὴ εἰς τὸ λευκόν, καὶ καθαριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν· καθαρός ἐστι.The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean.

18Καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ ἕλκος καὶ ὑγιασθῇ,When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,

19καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τοῦ ἕλκους οὐλὴ λευκή, ἢ τηλαυγὴς λευκαίνουσα, ἢ πυρρίζουσα, καὶ ὀφθήσεται τῷ ἱερεῖ,and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.

20καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις ταπεινοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ ἡ θρὶξ αὐτῆς μετέβαλεν εἰς λευκήν, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ὅτι λέπρα ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν.The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.

21ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ θρὶξ λευκή, καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος τοῦ χρωτός, καὶ αὐτὴ ᾖ ἀμαυρά, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.

22ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν.If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.

23ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ χώραν μείνῃ τὸ τηλαύγημα καὶ μὴ διαχέηται, οὐλὴ τοῦ ἕλκους ἐστί, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς.But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24Καὶ σὰρξ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ κατάκαυμα πυρός, καὶ γένηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι αὐτοῦ τὸ ὑγιασθὲν τοῦ κατακαύματος αὐγάζον τηλαυγὲς λευκόν, ὑποπυρρίζον ἢ ἔκλευκον,When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,

25καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ μετέβαλε θρὶξ λευκὴ εἰς τὸ αὐγάζον, καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτοῦ ταπεινὴ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, λέπρα ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ κατακαύματι ἐξήνθησε· καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν.the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.

26ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ αὐγάζοντι θρὶξ λευκή, καὶ ταπεινὸν μὴ ᾖ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, αὐτὸ δὲ ἀμαυρόν, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.

27καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεὺς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ· ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται ἐν τῷ δέρματι, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστίν, ἐν τῷ ἕλκει ἐξήνθησεν.On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.

28ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ χώραν μείνῃ τὸ αὐγάζον, καὶ μὴ διαχυθῇ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, αὐτὴ δὲ ἀμαυρὰ ᾖ, οὐλὴ τοῦ κατακαύμαστός ἐστι, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· ὁ γὰρ χαρακτὴρ τοῦ κατακαύματός ἐστι.But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.

29Καὶ ἀνδρὶ ἢ γυναικὶ ἐὰν γένηται ἐν αὐτοῖς ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ ἢ ἐν τῷ πώγωνι,If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,

30καί ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῆς ἐγκοιλοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος, ἐν αὐτῇ δὲ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα λεπτή, καὶ μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς· θραῦσμά ἐστι, λέπρα τῆς κεφαλῆς ἢ λέπρα τοῦ πώγωνός ἐστι.the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin.

31καὶ ἐὰν ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τοῦ θραύσματος, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐχ ἡ ὄψις ἐγκοιλοτέρα τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τοῦ θραύσματος ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.

32καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη τὸ θραῦσμα, καὶ θρὶξ ξανθίζουσα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ἡ ὄψις τοῦ θραύσματος οὐκ ἔστι κοίλη ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος.On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and if the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,

33καὶ ξυρηθήσεται τὸ δέρμα, τὸ δὲ θραῦσμα οὐ ξυρηθήσεται, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θραῦσμα ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον.then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.

34καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θραῦσμα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ ξυρηθῆναι αὐτόν, καὶ ἡ ὄψις τοῦ θραύσματος οὐκ ἔστι κοίλη ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὴν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ πλυνάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια καθαρὸς ἔσται.On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.

35ἐὰν δὲ διαχύσει διαχέηται τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι μετὰ τὸ καθαρισθῆναι αὐτόν,If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,

36καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ διακέχυται τὸ θραῦσμα ἐν τῷ δέρματι, οὐκ ἐπισκέψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τῆς τριχὸς τῆς ξανθῆς, ὅτι ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν.the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.

37ἐὰν δὲ ἐνώπιον μείνῃ ἐπὶ χώρας τὸ θραῦσμα, καὶ θρὶξ μέλαινα ἀνατείλῃ ἐν αὐτῷ, ὑγίακε τὸ θραῦσμα· καθαρός ἐστι, καὶ καθαριεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς.If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.

38Καὶ ἀνδρὶ ἢ γυναικί, ἐὰν γένηται ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάσματα αὐγάζοντα λευκανθίζοντα,When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

39καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ αὐγάσματα αὐγάζοντα λευκανθίζοντα, ἀλφός ἐστιν ἐξανθεῖ ἐν τῷ δέρματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, καθαρός ἐστι.the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

40Ἐὰν δέ τινι μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ, φαλακρός ἐστι, καθαρός ἐστιν.Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.

41ἐὰν δὲ κατὰ πρόσωπον μαδήσῃ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ, ἀναφάλαντός ἐστι, καθαρός ἐστιν.Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.

42ἐὰν δὲ γένηται ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ ἀφὴ λευκὴ ἢ πυρρίζουσα, λέπρα ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ, ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀναφαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ.But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.

43καὶ ὄψεται αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ὄψις τῆς ἁφῆς λευκὴ ἢ πυρρίζουσα ἐν τῷ φαλακρώματι αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐν τῷ φαλαντώματι αὐτοῦ, ὡς εἶδος λέπρας ἐν δέρματι τῆς σαρκός αὐτοῦ,The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,

44ἄνθρωπος λεπρός ἐστι· μιάνσει μιανεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφὴ αὐτοῦ.the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.

45Καὶ ὁ λεπρὸς ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή, τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ ἔστω παραλελυμένα καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἀκάλυπτος, καὶ περὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ περιβαλέσθω, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος κεκλήσεται·A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’

46πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, ὅσας ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἡ ἁφή, ἀκάθαρτος ὢν ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται, κεχωρισμένος καθήσεται, ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἡ διατριβή.As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.

47Καὶ ἱματίῳ ἐὰν γένηται ἁφὴ ἐν αὐτῷ λέπρας ἐν ἱματίῳ ἐρέῳ, ἢ ἐν ἱματίῳ στυππυίνῳ,If any fabric is contaminated with mildew—any wool or linen garment,

48ἢ ἐν στήμονι, ἢ ἐν κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν τοῖς λινοῖς, ἢ ἐν τοῖς ἐρέοις, ἢ ἐν δέρματι, ἢ ἐν παντὶ ἐργασίμῳ δέρματι,any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—

49καὶ γένηται ἡ ἁφή χλωρίζουσα ἢ πυρρίζουσα ἐν τῷ δέρματι, ἢ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει ἐργασίμῳ δέρματος, ἁφὴ λέπρας ἐστί, καὶ δείξει τῷ ἱερεῖ.and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest.

50καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφήν, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.

51καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ· ἐὰν δὲ διαχέηται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν τῷ δέρματι, κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν ποιηθῇ δέρματα ἐν τῇ ἐργασίῳ, λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή, ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι.On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.

52κατακαύσει τὸ ἱμάτιον, ἢ τὸν στήμονα, ἢ τὴν κρόκην ἐν τοῖς ἐρέοις, ἢ ἐν τοῖς λινοῖς, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ, ἐν ᾧ ἂν ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡ ἁφή, ὅτι λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν, ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται.He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up.

53ἐὰν δὲ ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ μὴ διαχέηται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ,But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,

54καὶ συντάξει ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ πλυνεῖ ἐφ᾿ οὗ ἐὰν ᾖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφή, καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν ἁφὴν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τὸ δεύτερον·the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.

55καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς μετὰ τὸ πλυθῦναι αὐτὸ τὴν ἁφήν, καὶ ἥδε οὐ μὴ μετέβαλεν ἡ ἁφὴ τὴν ὄψιν, καὶ ἡ ἁφὴ οὐ διαχεῖται, ἀκάθαρτόν ἐστιν, ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται· ἐστήρικται ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ.After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back.

56καὶ ἐὰν ἴδῃ ὁ ἱερεύς, καὶ ᾖ ἀμαυρὰ ἡ ἁφὴ μετὰ τὸ πλυθῆναι αὐτό, ἀπορρήξει αὐτὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἱματίου, ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ στήμονος, ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς κρόκης, ἢ ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος.If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit.

57ἐὰν δὲ ὀφθῇ ἔτι ἐν τῷ ἱματίῳ, ἢ ἐν τῷ στήμονι, ἢ ἐν τῇ κρόκῃ, ἢ ἐν παντὶ σκεύει δερματίνῳ, λέπρα ἐξανθοῦσά ἐστιν· ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή.But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.

58καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον, ἢ ὁ στήμων, ἢ ἡ κρόκη, ἢ πᾶν σκεῦος δερμάτινον, ὃ πλυθήσεται, καὶ ἀποστήσεται ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἡ ἁφή, καὶ πλυθήσεται τὸ δεύτερον, καὶ καθαρὸν ἔσται.If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.

59οὗτος ὁ νόμος ἁφῆς λέπρας ἱματίου ἐρέου, ἢ στυππυίνου, ἢ στήμονος, ἢ κρόκης, ἢ παντὸς σκεύους δερματίνου, εἰς τὸ καθαρίσαι αὐτό, ἢ μιᾶναι αὐτό.This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”
