Le 13:2
13:2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a
     scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh
     {a} [like] the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought
     unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

     (a) That it may be suspected to be leprosy.

Le 13:3
13:3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the
     flesh: and [when] the hair in the plague is turned white,
     and the plague in sight [be] {b} deeper than the skin of
     his flesh, it [is] a plague of leprosy: and the priest
     shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

     (b) That is, shrunken in, and be lower than the rest of the
         skin.

Le 13:6
13:6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day:
     and, behold, [if] the plague [be] somewhat {c} dark, [and]
     the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall
     pronounce him clean: it [is but] a scab: and he shall wash
     his clothes, and be clean.

     (c) As having the skin drawn together, or blackish.

Le 13:8
13:8 And [if] the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in
     the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him {d} unclean:
     it [is] a leprosy.

     (d) Concerning his bodily disease: for his disease was not
         imputed to him for sin before God even though it were
         the punishment of sin.

Le 13:13
13:13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, [if] the
      leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce
      [him] {e} clean [that hath] the plague: it is all turned
      white: he [is] clean.

      (e) For it is not that contagious leprosy that infects,
          but a form of scales which does not leave the skin raw
          as leprosy does.

Le 13:15
13:15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him
      to be unclean: [for] the raw flesh [is] {f} unclean: it
      [is] a leprosy.

      (f) That is, declares that the flesh is not found, but is
          in danger of being leprous.

Le 13:20
13:20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it [be] in sight
      lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white;
      the priest shall pronounce him {g} unclean: it [is] a
      plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

      (g) No one was exempted, but if the priest pronounced him
          unclean, he was put out from among the people: as
          appears by the example of Mary the prophetess,
          @Nu 12:14 and by king Uzziah, @Nu 12:14.

Le 13:24
13:24 Or if there be [any] flesh, in the skin whereof [there is]
      a hot burning, and the quick [flesh] that burneth have a
      {h} white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;

      (h) If he has a white spot in the place where the burning
          was and was later healed.

Le 13:30
13:30 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it
      [be] in sight deeper than the skin; [and there be] in it a
      yellow thin {i} hair; then the priest shall pronounce him
      unclean: it [is] a dry scall, [even] a leprosy upon the
      head or beard.

      (i) Which was not wont to be there, or else smaller than
          in any other part of the body.

Le 13:36
13:36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the
      scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not {k} seek
      for yellow hair; he [is] unclean.

      (k) He shall not care whether the yellow hair is there or
          not.

Le 13:41
13:41 And he that hath his {l} hair fallen off from the part of
      his head toward his face, he [is] forehead bald: [yet is]
      he clean.

      (l) By sickness or any other inconvenience.

Le 13:45
13:45 And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall
      be {m} rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a
      covering upon his upper {n} lip, and shall cry, Unclean,
      unclean.

      (m) In sign of sorrow and lamentation.
      (n) Either in token of mourning, or for fear of infecting
          others.

Le 13:49
13:49 And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment,
      or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
      any thing of {o} skin; it [is] a plague of leprosy, and
      shall be shewed unto the priest:

      (o) Whether it be garment, vessel, or instrument.

Le 13:53
13:53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be
      not {p} spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in
      the woof, or in any thing of skin;

      (p) But abide still in one place, as in @Le 13:37.

Le 13:55
13:55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is
      washed: and, behold, [if] the plague have not changed his
      {q} colour, and the plague be not spread; it [is] unclean;
      thou shalt burn it in the fire; it [is] fret inward,
      {r} [whether] it [be] bare within or without.

      (q) But remain as it did before.
      (r) Or, whether it be in any bare place before, or behind.

Le 13:58
13:58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing
      of skin [it be], which thou shalt wash, if the plague be
      departed from them, then it shall be washed {s} the second
      time, and shall be clean.

      (s) So that he might be sure that the leprosy was
          departed, and that all opportunity for infection might
          be taken away.
