But whenever raw flesh appears in it ¹  he will be unclean,

My wounds ¹  are infected and starting to smell, ²  because of my foolish sins. ³ 

lest you learn ¹  his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. ² 

If a ruler listens to ¹  lies, ²  all his ministers ³  will be wicked. ⁴ 

We are all like one who is unclean, all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in your sight. ¹  We all wither like a leaf; our sins carry us away like the wind.

The priest will then examine it, ¹  and if ²  the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the person with the infection clean ³  – he is clean.

then the individual is to shave himself, ¹  but he must not shave the area affected by the scall, ²  and the priest is to quarantine the person with the scall for another seven days. ³ 

he is a diseased man. He is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his infection on his head. ¹ 

or in the warp or woof ¹  of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather, ² 

“This is the law of the diseased person on the day of his purification, when ¹  he is brought to the priest. ² 

The priest is to go outside the camp and examine the infection. ¹  If the infection of the diseased person has been healed, ² 

For Samaria’s ¹  disease ²  is incurable. It has infected ³  Judah; it has spread to ⁴  the leadership ⁵  of my people and has even contaminated Jerusalem! ⁶ 

“If ¹  it is a white bright spot on the skin of his body, but it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, ²  and the hair has not turned white, then the priest is to quarantine the person with the infection for seven days. ³ 

But if the priest examines the scall infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, ¹  and there is no black hair in it, then the priest is to quarantine the person with the scall infection for seven days. ² 

If, however, the scab is spreading further ¹  on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his purification, then he must show himself to the priest a second time.

If, however, the disease breaks out ¹  on the skin so that the disease covers all the skin of the person with the infection ²  from his head to his feet, as far as the priest can see, ³ 

the priest must then examine it, ¹  and if ²  the disease covers his whole body, he is to pronounce the person with the infection clean. ³  He has turned all white, so he is clean. ⁴ 

If, however, ¹  the priest examines it and ²  there is no white hair in the bright spot, it is not deeper than the skin, ³  and it has faded, then the priest is to quarantine him for seven days. ⁴ 

then the priest is to examine it, and if ¹  the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. ²  The person ³  is unclean.

If, as far as the priest can see, the scall has stayed the same ¹  and black hair has sprouted in it, the scall has been healed; the person is clean. So the priest is to pronounce him clean. ²
