then his flesh is restored ¹  like a youth’s; he returns to the days of his youthful vigor. ² 

Now this is his uncleanness in regard to his discharge ¹  – whether his body secretes his discharge or blocks his discharge, he is unclean. All the days that his body has a discharge or his body blocks his discharge, ²  this is his uncleanness. ³ 

Only his flesh has pain for himself, ¹  and he mourns for himself.” ² 

His flesh wastes away from sight, and his bones, which were not seen, are easily visible. ¹ 

The folds ¹  of its flesh are tightly joined; they are firm on it, immovable. ² 

Sing to the Lord! Praise his name! Announce every day how he delivers! ¹ 

for they are life to those who find them and healing to one’s entire body. ¹ 

The fool folds his hands and does no work, ¹  so he has nothing to eat but his own flesh. ² 

“You are to take the ram of the consecration and cook ¹  its meat in a holy place. ² 

But the hide of the bull, all its flesh along with its head and its legs, its entrails, and its dung –

it is a chronic ¹  disease on the skin of his body, ²  so the priest is to pronounce him unclean. ³  The priest ⁴  must not merely quarantine him, for he is unclean. ⁵ 

“‘No man is to approach any close relative ¹  to have sexual intercourse with her. ²  I am the Lord. ³ 

Do not let her be like a baby born dead, whose flesh is half-consumed when it comes out of its ¹  mother’s womb!”

The one who burns it ¹  must wash his clothes in water and bathe himself in water. He will be ceremonially unclean until evening.

Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Announce every day ¹  how he delivers!

“At that time ¹  Jacob’s splendor will be greatly diminished, ²  and he will become skin and bones. ³ 

“When someone has ¹  a swelling ²  or a scab ³  or a bright spot ⁴  on the skin of his body ⁵  that may become a diseased infection, ⁶  he must be brought to Aaron the priest or one of his sons, the priests. ⁷ 

He must put on a holy linen tunic, ¹  linen leggings are to cover his body, ²  and he is to wrap himself with a linen sash ³  and wrap his head with a linen turban. ⁴  They are holy garments, so he must bathe ⁵  his body in water and put them on.

but the rest of the bull – its hide, its flesh, and its dung – he completely burned up ¹  outside the camp just as the Lord had commanded Moses. ² 

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
