1 El Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 «Si alguien nota que en la piel le ha salido una hinchazón, un sarpullido o mancha blanca, sospechará que tiene lepra. Deberá ser conducido ante el sacerdote Aarón, o ante alguno de sus hijos,
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 para que examine el lugar afectado. Si el vello de aquel lugar se le pone blanco y la llaga parece estar más hundida que la piel, se trata de lepra, y el sacerdote lo declarará oficialmente leproso.
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 parte blanca de la piel no parece más hundida que el resto, y el vello de aquel lugar no se ha puesto blanco, el sacerdote aislará al enfermo 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 cabo de los siete días, el sacerdote lo volverá a examinar. Si no ha habido variación en la mancha, ni se ha extendido por la piel, lo 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 nuevamente lo examinará, y si la mancha de la piel ha disminuido y no se han extendido, el sacerdote lo declarará sano. Era una erupción. Entonces la persona afectada sólo lavará su ropa y volverá a su vida normal.
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 mancha se ha extendido por la piel, después de que la persona fue declarada sana, entonces tendrá que volver a presentarse ante el 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 al examinar a la persona, el sacerdote descubre que la mancha se ha extendido sobre la piel, entonces la declarará impura. Se trata de un caso de lepra.
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 presente una llaga en la piel, tendrá que ser llevada ante el sacerdote. Si al examinar a la persona, el sacerdote nota que la llaga y el vello se han puesto blancos, y se ve la carne viva,
9 “When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
10 Not in this translation
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 entonces se trata de un caso de lepra. El sacerdote debe declarar impura a esa persona, pero no tendrá que aislarla para tenerla en observación, porque se ha comprobado definitivamente que se trata de lepra.
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 el sacerdote ve que la mancha ha brotado y se ha esparcido por todo su cuerpo, de pies a cabeza,
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 declarará a esa persona sin lepra, porque la mancha se ha vuelto completamente blanca, y no es lepra.
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 si aparece carne viva en algún lugar, la persona será declarada leprosa. Lo comprueba la carne viva.
14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
15 Not in this translation
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 se vuelve blanca, la persona enferma acudirá al sacerdote para ser examinada nuevamente. Si el lugar en realidad se ha vuelto completamente blanco, el sacerdote la declarará sin lepra.
16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.
17 Not in this translation
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 »En el caso de que una persona haya tenido un absceso en la piel,
18 “When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
19 y que este al sanar haya dejado una hinchazón o una mancha blanca o rojiza, deberá acudir al sacerdote para ser examinada.
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 Si el sacerdote ve que la parte afectada está un poco más hundida que el resto de la piel y que el vello del lugar se ha vuelto blanco, la declarará impura, porque ha brotado lepra.
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 no encuentra vellos blancos en el punto afectado, y este no parece estar más hundido que el resto de la piel, y si el color es gris, 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 durante ese lapso la mancha se extiende, el sacerdote la declarará leprosa.
22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
23 Pero si no parece mayor, y no se ha extendido, se trata solamente de la cicatriz del absceso, y el sacerdote la declarará limpia.
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 se quema en cualquier forma, y la parte quemada se pone de un color blanco rojizo,
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 deberá examinar la parte afectada. Si el vello de aquel lugar se pone blanco, y la parte quemada se ve más hundida que el resto de la piel, es lepra que ha brotado en la quemadura, y el sacerdote deberá declararlo leproso.
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 vellos blancos y que la mancha no está más hundida que el resto de la piel, y que está disminuyendo, lo aislará por 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 cabo de los siete días lo volverá a examinar. Si la mancha se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará leproso.
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 el lugar afectado no se ha extendido, y se ve que ha disminuido, se trata sólo de la cicatriz de la quemadura, y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio.
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 una persona, hombre o mujer, tiene una llaga en la cabeza o en el mentón, acudirá al sacerdote para que examine la llaga. Si la llaga parece estar más hundida que el resto de la piel y se encuentra vello amarillento en ella, el sacerdote declarará leprosa a esa persona.
29 “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
30 Not in this translation
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 examen del sacerdote revela que la llaga es superficial y que está cubierta con vello negro, aislará al enfermo 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 para examinarlo al final de ese plazo. Si la llaga no se ha extendido ni se ha puesto amarillo el vello, y si no parece estar más hundida que el resto de 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 le afeitará todo el vello que la rodea, sin tocar los de la parte infectada, y lo aislará por 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 Será examinado nuevamente el séptimo día, y si la llaga no se ha extendido y no pareciera estar más hundida que el resto de la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará sano. El enfermo lavará su ropa, y quedará libre.
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 más adelante, comienza a extenderse la llaga,
35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
36 el sacerdote deberá examinarlo nuevamente y, sin esperar a que aparezcan vellos amarillos, lo declarará leproso.
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 se ve claramente que la herida ha dejado de extenderse y que los vellos del lugar son negros, es porque dicha persona está sana, así que el sacerdote la declarará sin lepra.
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 una persona, hombre o mujer, presenta manchas blancuzcas en la piel,
38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
39 pero estas se están oscureciendo, no es lepra. Se trata sólo de una infección común de la piel. Por eso, dicha 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 un hombre pierde el cabello, aunque quede calvo, no es leproso.
40 “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
41 El que pierde el cabello de la frente es calvo, pero no es leproso.
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 calva le sale una mancha de color rojizo, puede tratarse de un caso de lepra.
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 lo examinará, y si ve que la mancha es de color rojizo, como de lepra,
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 se trata efectivamente de lepra, y el sacerdote así lo declarará.
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 en la que se encuentre una infección deberá rasgar su ropa, andar despeinada, cubrirse el rostro hasta el labio superior y anunciar mientras camina: “¡Soy impuro! ¡Soy 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 Mientras dure la enfermedad será considerado impuro, y tendrá que vivir 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 »Cuando aparezca una mancha en un vestido de lana o de lino, o en un objeto de piel o en un utensilio de cuero,
47 “The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
48 Not in this translation
48 whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in leather, or in anything made of leather;
49 y sea de color verdusco o rojizo, será llevado al sacerdote para que examine la mancha.
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 aislará el objeto por siete días
50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.
51 y examinará la mancha nuevamente el séptimo día. Si se ha extendido, se trata de un hongo maligno.
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 Entonces el artículo, sin importar del material que sea, deberá ser quemado, porque es un hongo maligno que debe ser destruido por fuego.
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 al examinarlo nuevamente al séptimo día, el sacerdote observa que la mancha no se ha extendido,
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 artículo y que se aísle por 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 Si después de ese plazo la mancha no ha cambiado de color, aun cuando no se haya extendido, se quemará la prenda, pues es impura.
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 disminuido después de lavar la prenda, solo cortará la parte en la cual está la mancha.
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, esta será quemada.
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 lavarla no reaparece la mancha, se podrá usar nuevamente, lavándola por segunda vez, y la prenda será declarada pura».
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 Estas son las normas acerca de las manchas que se descubren en la ropa o en otras cosas hechas de piel o de cuero, para determinar si esas prendas deben considerarse puras o impuras.
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.
