1 El Señor dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 «Cuando una persona tenga en la piel una hinchazón, una erupción o una mancha brillante que pudiera convertirse en una enfermedad grave de la piel, será llevada ante el sacerdote Aarón o ante uno de sus hijos, los sacerdotes.
2 “When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
3 El sacerdote examinará la parte afectada. Si el pelo de esa zona se ha vuelto blanco y la lesión parece más profunda que la piel, es una enfermedad grave de la piel. Después de examinar a la persona, el sacerdote la declarará impura.
3 The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.
4 Pero si la mancha blanca no parece más profunda que la piel y el pelo no se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote aislará a la persona durante siete días.
4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
5 Al séptimo día el sacerdote la examinará. Si ve que la lesión no ha cambiado ni se ha extendido por la piel, la aislará otros siete días.
5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.
6 Al séptimo día volverá a examinarla. Si la lesión ha perdido color y no se ha extendido, el sacerdote declarará pura a la persona. Era solamente una erupción. La persona lavará su ropa y quedará pura.
6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
7 Pero si la erupción se extiende por la piel después de que la persona se haya presentado al sacerdote para ser declarada pura, deberá presentarse otra vez al sacerdote.
7 But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
8 Si el sacerdote ve que la erupción se ha extendido, la declarará impura. Es una enfermedad grave de la piel.
8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
9 »Cuando una persona tenga una enfermedad grave de la piel, será llevada al sacerdote.
9 “When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
10 El sacerdote la examinará. Si hay una hinchazón blanca en la piel, el pelo se ha vuelto blanco y hay carne viva en la hinchazón,
10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11 es una enfermedad crónica de la piel. El sacerdote declarará impura a la persona. No tendrá que aislarla, porque es claramente impura.
11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
12 Pero si la enfermedad se extiende por toda la piel y cubre a la persona desde la cabeza hasta los pies, hasta donde el sacerdote pueda ver,
12 “If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
13 el sacerdote la examinará. Si la enfermedad ha cubierto todo su cuerpo y toda la piel se ha vuelto blanca, declarará pura a la persona.
13 then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
14 Pero cuando aparezca carne viva, quedará impura.
14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
15 Cuando el sacerdote vea la carne viva, declarará impura a la persona. La carne viva es impura; es una enfermedad grave de la piel.
15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
16 Pero si la carne viva vuelve a ponerse blanca, la persona irá al sacerdote.
16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.
17 El sacerdote la examinará. Si la parte afectada se ha vuelto blanca, declarará pura a la persona; quedará pura.
17 The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
18 »Si alguien ha tenido una llaga en la piel y esta sana,
18 “When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
19 pero en el lugar de la llaga aparece una hinchazón blanca o una mancha rojiza y blanca, deberá mostrársela al sacerdote.
19 and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.
20 El sacerdote la examinará. Si parece más profunda que la piel y el pelo se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote declarará impura a la persona. Es una enfermedad grave de la piel que ha aparecido donde estaba la llaga.
20 The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.
21 Pero si el sacerdote ve que no hay pelo blanco, que la lesión no es más profunda que la piel y que ha perdido color, aislará a la persona durante siete días.
21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
22 Si la lesión se extiende por la piel, el sacerdote declarará impura a la persona. Es una enfermedad.
22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
23 Pero si la mancha no se extiende y permanece en el mismo lugar, es solamente la cicatriz de la llaga. El sacerdote declarará pura a la persona.
23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 »Si alguien tiene una quemadura en la piel y en la parte quemada aparece una mancha rojiza y blanca o blanca,
24 “Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
25 el sacerdote la examinará. Si el pelo de la mancha se ha vuelto blanco y la lesión parece más profunda que la piel, es una enfermedad grave de la piel que ha aparecido en la quemadura. El sacerdote declarará impura a la persona.
25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
26 Pero si el sacerdote ve que no hay pelo blanco en la mancha, que no es más profunda que la piel y que ha perdido color, aislará a la persona durante siete días.
26 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
27 Al séptimo día el sacerdote la examinará. Si la lesión se ha extendido por la piel, declarará impura a la persona. Es una enfermedad grave de la piel.
27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
28 Pero si la mancha permanece en el mismo lugar, no se extiende y ha perdido color, es solamente una hinchazón causada por la quemadura. El sacerdote declarará pura a la persona, porque es la cicatriz de la quemadura.
28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
29 »Si un hombre o una mujer tiene una lesión en la cabeza o en la barbilla,
29 “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
30 el sacerdote examinará la lesión. Si parece más profunda que la piel y hay pelo fino y amarillento, declarará impura a la persona. Es una enfermedad de la cabeza o de la barbilla.
30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
31 Pero si el sacerdote examina la lesión y ve que no parece más profunda que la piel, y no hay pelo negro en ella, aislará a la persona durante siete días.
31 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.
32 Al séptimo día el sacerdote examinará la lesión. Si no se ha extendido, no hay pelo amarillento y no parece más profunda que la piel,
32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,
33 la persona se afeitará, excepto en la parte afectada. Después el sacerdote la aislará otros siete días.
33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days.
34 Al séptimo día el sacerdote volverá a examinar la lesión. Si no se ha extendido y no parece más profunda que la piel, declarará pura a la persona. Esta lavará su ropa y quedará pura.
34 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
35 Pero si la lesión se extiende por la piel después de que la persona haya sido declarada pura,
35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
36 el sacerdote la examinará. Si la lesión se ha extendido, no tendrá que buscar pelo amarillento; la persona es impura.
36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
37 Pero si el sacerdote ve que la lesión no ha cambiado y que ha crecido pelo negro en ella, la lesión ha sanado. La persona es pura, y el sacerdote la declarará pura.
37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 »Si un hombre o una mujer tiene manchas blancas en la piel,
38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
39 el sacerdote las examinará. Si son de un blanco apagado, es una erupción inofensiva de la piel. La persona es pura.
39 then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
40 »Si a un hombre se le cae el cabello y queda calvo, es puro.
40 “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
41 Si se le cae el cabello de la parte delantera de la cabeza, también es puro.
41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, his forehead is bald. He is clean.
42 Pero si en la parte calva de la cabeza o de la frente aparece una lesión rojiza y blanca, es una enfermedad grave de la piel que ha aparecido allí.
42 But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.
43 El sacerdote la examinará. Si la hinchazón de la lesión es rojiza y blanca, como la enfermedad grave de la piel en otras partes del cuerpo,
43 Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
44 el hombre es impuro. El sacerdote lo declarará impuro; tiene la enfermedad en la cabeza.
44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
45 »La persona que tenga esta enfermedad llevará la ropa rasgada, dejará suelto el cabello y se cubrirá la parte inferior del rostro. Irá gritando: “¡Impuro! ¡Impuro!”.
45 “The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
46 Será impura mientras tenga la enfermedad. Vivirá sola, fuera del campamento.
46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.
47 »Si aparece una mancha dañina en una prenda de lana o de lino,
47 “The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
48 en los hilos o en el tejido de lino o de lana, en cuero o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero,
48 whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in leather, or in anything made of leather;
49 y la mancha es verdosa o rojiza, es una mancha dañina y deberá mostrarse al sacerdote.
49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
50 El sacerdote examinará el objeto manchado y lo aislará durante siete días.
50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.
51 Al séptimo día examinará la mancha. Si se ha extendido por la prenda, por el tejido, por los hilos o por el cuero, sin importar para qué se use el cuero, es una mancha dañina que se extiende. El objeto es impuro.
51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.
52 Quemará la prenda, el tejido, los hilos de lana o de lino, o cualquier objeto de cuero donde esté la mancha, porque es una mancha dañina que se extiende. El objeto deberá quemarse.
52 He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
53 Pero si el sacerdote ve que la mancha no se ha extendido por la prenda, el tejido, los hilos o el cuero,
53 “If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
54 ordenará que se lave el objeto manchado y lo aislará otros siete días.
54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days.
55 Después de lavarlo, el sacerdote examinará la mancha. Si no ha cambiado de aspecto, aunque no se haya extendido, el objeto es impuro y deberá quemarse. La mancha lo ha dañado, sea por dentro o por fuera.
55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.
56 Pero si el sacerdote ve que la mancha ha perdido color después del lavado, cortará la parte manchada de la prenda, del cuero, del tejido o de los hilos.
56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
57 Si la mancha vuelve a aparecer en la prenda, en el tejido, en los hilos o en el cuero, significa que se está extendiendo. El objeto manchado deberá quemarse.
57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire.
58 Si después de lavar la prenda, el tejido, los hilos o cualquier objeto de cuero la mancha desaparece, se lavará una segunda vez y quedará puro.
58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
59 Esta es la ley acerca de las manchas dañinas en prendas de lana o de lino, en tejidos, en hilos o en cualquier objeto de cuero, para determinar si son puros o impuros.
59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… been done concerning the rod, God gave a second sign: "thrust," He saith, "thine hand into thy bosom, and he thrust it: draw it forth, and he drew it forth: and it was found white," that is, unclean. For whiteness on the skin is leprosy, not fairness of complexion.
