< اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 13 >

وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
«إِذَا كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ فِي جِلْدِ جَسَدِهِ نَاتِئٌ أَوْ قُوبَاءُ أَوْ لُمْعَةٌ تَصِيرُ فِي جِلْدِ جَسَدِهِ ضَرْبَةَ بَرَصٍ، يُؤْتَى بِهِ إِلَى هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ أَوْ إِلَى أَحَدِ بَنِيهِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ. ٢ 2
“Anyone who has a swelling, a rash, or a spot on the skin that may be an infectious skin disease must be taken to Aaron the priest or to one of his descendants.
فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلضَّرْبَةَ فِي جِلْدِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، وَفِي ٱلضَّرْبَةِ شَعَرٌ قَدِ ٱبْيَضَّ، وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلضَّرْبَةِ أَعْمَقُ مِنْ جِلْدِ جَسَدِهِ، فَهِيَ ضَرْبَةُ بَرَصٍ. فَمَتَى رَآهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ يَحْكُمُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. ٣ 3
The priest will inspect whatever is on the skin. If the hair there has turned white and if the issue seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean.
لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ لُمْعَةً بَيْضَاءَ فِي جِلْدِ جَسَدِهِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْظَرُهَا أَعْمَقَ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، وَلَمْ يَبْيَضَّ شَعْرُهَا، يَحْجُزُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْمَضْرُوبَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ٤ 4
But if the spot is only a white discoloration and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and if the hair on the spot has not turned white, the priest will place the person in isolation for seven days.
فَإِنْ رَآهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَإِذَا فِي عَيْنِهِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ قَدْ وَقَفَتْ، وَلَمْ تَمْتَدَّ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، يَحْجُزُهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثَانِيَةً. ٥ 5
On the seventh day the priest will conduct another inspection, and if he discovers that the spot hasn't changed and hasn't spread on the skin, the priest must place the person in isolation for another seven days.
فَإِنْ رَآهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ ثَانِيَةً وَإِذَا ٱلضَّرْبَةُ كَامِدَةُ ٱللَّوْنِ، وَلَمْ تَمْتَدَّ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِطَهَارَتِهِ. إِنَّهَا حَزَازٌ. فَيَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ طَاهِرًا. ٦ 6
On the seventh day after this the priest will inspect it again. If the spot has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest will declare the person clean since it was a rash. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلْقُوبَاءُ تَمْتَدُّ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ بَعْدَ عَرْضِهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ لِتَطْهِيرِهِ، يُعْرَضُ عَلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ ثَانِيَةً. ٧ 7
However, if the rash does spread after the person has been inspected by the priest and has been declared clean, the person must go back to be inspected again.
فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا ٱلْقُوبَاءُ قَدِ ٱمْتَدَّتْ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. إِنَّهَا بَرَصٌ. ٨ 8
If the priest discovers that the rash has spread, he must declare the person unclean because it is certainly a skin disease.
«إِنْ كَانَتْ فِي إِنْسَانٍ ضَرْبَةُ بَرَصٍ فَيُؤْتَى بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ. ٩ 9
Anyone who develops an infectious skin disease must be taken to the priest.
فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ نَاتِئٌ أَبْيَضُ، قَدْ صَيَّرَ ٱلشَّعْرَ أَبْيَضَ، وَفِي ٱلنَّاتِئِ وَضَحٌ مِنْ لَحْمٍ حَيٍّ، ١٠ 10
The priest will inspect them, and if there is a white swelling on the skin and the hair there has turned white, and there is an open wound in the swelling,
فَهُوَ بَرَصٌ مُزْمِنٌ فِي جِلْدِ جَسَدِهِ. فَيَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. لَا يَحْجُزُهُ لِأَنَّهُ نَجِسٌ. ١١ 11
it is a serious skin disease and the priest must declare them unclean. He doesn't need to place the person in isolation because they are unclean.
لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْبَرَصُ قَدْ أَفْرَخَ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، وَغَطَّى ٱلْبَرَصُ كُلَّ جِلْدِ ٱلْمَضْرُوبِ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا تَرَاهُ عَيْنَا ٱلْكَاهِنِ، ١٢ 12
However, if the skin disease affects all their skin so that it covers their skin from head to toe, everywhere the priest can see,
وَرَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا ٱلْبَرَصُ قَدْ غَطَّى كُلَّ جِسْمِهِ، يَحْكُمُ بِطَهَارَةِ ٱلْمَضْرُوبِ. كُلُّهُ قَدِ ٱبْيَضَّ. إِنَّهُ طَاهِرٌ. ١٣ 13
the priest shall inspect them, and if the disease has covered their entire body, he will declare the person clean. As it has all turned white, they are clean.
لَكِنْ يَوْمَ يُرَى فِيهِ لَحْمٌ حَيٌّ يَكُونُ نَجِسًا. ١٤ 14
But if when someone's inspected an open wound is found, they will be unclean.
فَمَتَى رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱللَّحْمَ ٱلْحَيَّ يَحْكُمُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. ٱللَّحْمُ ٱلْحَيُّ نَجِسٌ. إِنَّهُ بَرَصٌ. ١٥ 15
When the priest discovers an open wound, he must declare the person unclean. The open wound is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.
ثُمَّ إِنْ عَادَ ٱللَّحْمُ ٱلْحَيُّ وَٱبْيَضَّ يَأْتِي إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ. ١٦ 16
But if the open wound heals and becomes white, the person must go back to the priest.
فَإِنْ رَآهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا ٱلضَّرْبَةُ قَدْ صَارَتْ بَيْضَاءَ، يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِطَهَارَةِ ٱلْمَضْرُوبِ. إِنَّهُ طَاهِرٌ. ١٧ 17
The priest will inspect them again, and if the wound has turned white, the priest is to declare the person clean; then they are clean.
«وَإِذَا كَانَ ٱلْجِسْمُ فِي جِلْدِهِ دُمَّلَةٌ قَدْ بَرِئَتْ، ١٨ 18
When a boil comes up on someone's skin and then it heals,
وَصَارَ فِي مَوْضِعِ ٱلدُّمَّلَةِ نَاتِئٌ أَبْيَضُ، أَوْ لُمْعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ ضَارِبَةٌ إِلَى ٱلْحُمْرَةِ، يُعْرَضُ عَلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ. ١٩ 19
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears in its place, they must show themselves to the priest.
فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا مَنْظَرُهَا أَعْمَقُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ وَقَدِ ٱبْيَضَّ شَعْرُهَا، يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. إِنَّهَا ضَرْبَةُ بَرَصٍ أَفْرَخَتْ فِي ٱلدُّمَّلَةِ. ٢٠ 20
The priest shall inspect it, and if it seems to be more than something on the surface, and if the hair there has turned white, the priest shall declare him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has infected the boil.
لَكِنْ إِنْ رَآهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَعْرٌ أَبْيَضُ، وَلَيْسَتْ أَعْمَقَ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، وَهِيَ كَامِدَةُ ٱللَّوْنِ، يَحْجُزُهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ٢١ 21
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
فَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَدِ ٱمْتَدَّتْ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. إِنَّهَا ضَرْبَةٌ. ٢٢ 22
If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a disease.
لَكِنْ إِنْ وَقَفَتِ ٱللُّمْعَةُ مَكَانَهَا وَلَمْ تَمْتَدَّ، فَهِيَ أَثَرُ ٱلدُّمَّلَةِ. فَيَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِطَهَارَتِهِ. ٢٣ 23
But if the spot stays the same and doesn't spread, it's just the scar from the boil, and the priest will declare them clean.
«أَوْ إِذَا كَانَ ٱلْجِسْمُ فِي جِلْدِهِ كَيُّ نَارٍ، وَكَانَ حَيُّ ٱلْكَيِّ لُمْعَةً بَيْضَاءَ ضَارِبَةً إِلَى ٱلْحُمْرَةِ أَوْ بَيْضَاءَ، ٢٤ 24
If someone has a burn on their skin and where it's raw changes into a reddish-white or white spot,
وَرَآهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا ٱلشَّعْرُ فِي ٱللُّمْعَةِ قَدِ ٱبْيَضَّ، وَمَنْظَرُهَا أَعْمَقُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، فَهِيَ بَرَصٌ قَدْ أَفْرَخَ فِي ٱلْكَيِّ. فَيَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. إِنَّهَا ضَرْبَةُ بَرَصٍ. ٢٥ 25
the priest must inspect it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease that has infected the burn, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.
لَكِنْ إِنْ رَآهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا لَيْسَ فِي ٱللُّمْعَةِ شَعْرٌ أَبْيَضُ، وَلَيْسَتْ أَعْمَقَ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، وَهِيَ كَامِدَةُ ٱللَّوْنِ، يَحْجُزُهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، ٢٦ 26
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
ثُمَّ يَرَاهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ. فَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَدِ ٱمْتَدَّتْ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. إِنَّهَا ضَرْبَةُ بَرَصٍ. ٢٧ 27
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again. If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
لَكِنْ إِنْ وَقَفَتِ ٱللُّمْعَةُ مَكَانَهَا، لَمْ تَمْتَدَّ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، وَكَانَتْ كَامِدَةَ ٱللَّوْنِ، فَهِيَ نَاتِئُ ٱلْكَيِّ، فَٱلْكَاهِنُ يَحْكُمُ بِطَهَارَتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا أَثَرُ ٱلْكَيِّ. ٢٨ 28
But if the spot stays the same and hasn't spread on the skin, but has faded, it's the swelling from the burn, and the priest will declare them clean because it's just the scar from the burn.
«وَإِذَا كَانَ رَجُلٌ أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ فِيهِ ضَرْبَةٌ فِي ٱلرَّأْسِ أَوْ فِي ٱلذَّقَنِ، ٢٩ 29
If someone, man or woman, has a sore on the head or chin,
وَرَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلضَّرْبَةَ وَإِذَا مَنْظَرُهَا أَعْمَقُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، وَفِيهَا شَعْرٌ أَشْقَرُ دَقِيقٌ، يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. إِنَّهَا قَرَعٌ. بَرَصُ ٱلرَّأْسِ أَوِ ٱلذَّقَنِ. ٣٠ 30
the priest shall inspect it, and if it appears to be more than superficial and the hair in it has become pale and thin, the priest must declare them unclean; it is an infection producing scabs, a serious disease of the head or chin.
لَكِنْ إِذَا رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ ضَرْبَةَ ٱلْقَرَعِ وَإِذَا مَنْظَرُهَا لَيْسَ أَعْمَقَ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، لَكِنْ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَعْرٌ أَسْوَدُ، يَحْجُزُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْمَضْرُوبَ بِٱلْقَرَعِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ٣١ 31
However, if the priest inspects the scabby infection and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial and has no pale hair in it, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلضَّرْبَةَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَإِذَا ٱلْقَرَعُ لَمْ يَمْتَدَّ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ شَعْرٌ أَشْقَرُ، وَلَا مَنْظَرُ ٱلْقَرَعِ أَعْمَقُ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، ٣٢ 32
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again and if the scabby infection has not spread and there is no pale hair in it, and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial,
فَلْيَحْلِقْ. لَكِنْ لَا يَحْلِقِ ٱلْقَرَعَ. وَيَحْجُزُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْأَقْرَعَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثَانِيَةً. ٣٣ 33
then the person must shave themselves except for the scaly area. The priest is to place the person in isolation for another seven days.
فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْأَقْرَعَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَإِذَا ٱلْقَرَعُ لَمْ يَمْتَدَّ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْظَرُهُ أَعْمَقَ مِنَ ٱلْجِلْدِ، يَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِطَهَارَتِهِ، فَيَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ طَاهِرًا. ٣٤ 34
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the scabby infection, and if it has not spread on the skin and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْقَرَعُ يَمْتَدُّ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ بَعْدَ ٱلْحُكْمِ بِطَهَارَتِهِ، ٣٥ 35
However, if the scabby infection has spread on the skin after been declared clean,
وَرَآهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا ٱلْقَرَعُ قَدِ ٱمْتَدَّ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، فَلَا يُفَتِّشُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْرِ ٱلْأَشْقَرِ. إِنَّهُ نَجِسٌ. ٣٦ 36
the priest must inspect them, and if the scabby infection has indeed spread on the skin, the priest doesn't need to check for pale hair; the person is unclean.
لَكِنْ إِنْ وَقَفَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَبَتَ فِيهِ شَعْرٌ أَسْوَدُ، فَقَدْ بَرِئَ ٱلْقَرَعُ. إِنَّهُ طَاهِرٌ فَيَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِطَهَارَتِهِ. ٣٧ 37
But if the priest sees that the scabby infection hasn't changed, and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must declare it.
«وَإِذَا كَانَ رَجُلٌ أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ فِي جِلْدِ جَسَدِهِ لُمَعٌ، لُمَعٌ بِيضٌ، ٣٨ 38
If someone, man or woman, has white spots on the skin,
وَرَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا فِي جِلْدِ جَسَدِهِ لُمَعٌ كَامِدَةُ ٱللَّوْنِ بَيْضَاءُ، فَذَلِكَ بَهَقٌ قَدْ أَفْرَخَ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ. إِنَّهُ طَاهِرٌ. ٣٩ 39
the priest shall inspect them, and if the spots appear a dull white, it's just a rash that has developed on the skin; the person is clean.
«وَإِذَا كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ قَدْ ذَهَبَ شَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ فَهُوَ أَقْرَعُ. إِنَّهُ طَاهِرٌ. ٤٠ 40
If a man loses his hair and goes bald, he is still clean.
وَإِنْ ذَهَبَ شَعْرُ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ وَجْهِهِ فَهُوَ أَصْلَعُ. إِنَّهُ طَاهِرٌ. ٤١ 41
If he has a receding hairline and he goes bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
لَكِنْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي ٱلْقَرَعَةِ أَوْ فِي ٱلصَّلْعَةِ ضَرْبَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ ضَارِبَةٌ إِلَى ٱلْحُمْرَةِ، فَهُوَ بَرَصٌ مُفْرِخٌ فِي قَرَعَتِهِ أَوْ فِي صَلْعَتِهِ. ٤٢ 42
But if a reddish-white sore appears on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease developing.
فَإِنْ رَآهُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا نَاتِئُ ٱلضَّرْبَةِ أَبْيَضُ ضَارِبٌ إِلَى ٱلْحُمْرَةِ فِي قَرَعَتِهِ أَوْ فِي صَلْعَتِهِ، كَمَنْظَرِ ٱلْبَرَصِ فِي جِلْدِ ٱلْجَسَدِ، ٤٣ 43
The priest must inspect him, and if the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead looks reddish-white like a skin disease,
فَهُوَ إِنْسَانٌ أَبْرَصُ. إِنَّهُ نَجِسٌ. فَيَحْكُمُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ بِنَجَاسَتِهِ. إِنَّ ضَرْبَتَهُ فِي رَأْسِهِ. ٤٤ 44
then he is has an infectious disease; he is unclean. The priest must declare him unclean because of the infection on his head.
وَٱلْأَبْرَصُ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ، تَكُونُ ثِيَابُهُ مَشْقُوقَةً، وَرَأْسُهُ يَكُونُ مَكْشُوفًا، وَيُغَطِّي شَارِبَيْهِ، وَيُنَادِي: نَجِسٌ، نَجِسٌ. ٤٥ 45
Anyone who has such diseases must wear clothes that are torn and let their hair remain uncombed. They must cover their faces and shout out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي تَكُونُ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ فِيهِ يَكُونُ نَجِسًا. إِنَّهُ نَجِسٌ. يُقِيمُ وَحْدَهُ. خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ يَكُونُ مُقَامُهُ. ٤٦ 46
They remain unclean as long as the infection lasts. They have to live alone somewhere outside the camp.
«وَأَمَّا ٱلثَّوْبُ فَإِذَا كَانَ فِيهِ ضَرْبَةُ بَرَصٍ، ثَوْبُ صُوفٍ أَوْ ثَوْبُ كَتَّانٍ، ٤٧ 47
The following regulations relate to any material that becomes affected by mold, such as wool or linen clothing,
فِي ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةِ مِنَ ٱلصُّوفِ أَوِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ، أَوْ فِي جِلْدٍ أَوْ فِي كُلِّ مَصْنُوعٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، ٤٨ 48
anything woven or knitted made from linen or wool, or anything made of leather:
وَكَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ ضَارِبَةً إِلَى ٱلْخُضْرَةِ أَوْ إِلَى ٱلْحُمْرَةِ فِي ٱلثَّوْبِ أَوْ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ، فِي ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةِ أَوْ فِي مَتَاعٍ مَا مِنْ جِلْدٍ، فَإِنَّهَا ضَرْبَةُ بَرَصٍ، فَتُعْرَضُ عَلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ. ٤٩ 49
If the spot is green or red on the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is infected with mold and must be shown to the priest.
فَيَرَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلضَّرْبَةَ وَيَحْجُزُ ٱلْمَضْرُوبَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ٥٠ 50
The priest must inspect the mold and place the item in isolation for seven days.
فَمَتَى رَأَى ٱلضَّرْبَةَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ إِذَا كَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ قَدِ ٱمْتَدَّتْ فِي ٱلثَّوْبِ، فِي ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةِ أَوْ فِي ٱلْجِلْدِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يُصْنَعُ مِنْ جِلْدٍ لِلْعَمَلِ، فَٱلضَّرْبَةُ بَرَصٌ مُفْسِدٌ. إِنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ. ٥١ 51
On the seventh day the priest shall inspect it again, and if the patch of mold has spread in the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is a harmful mold; the article is unclean, whatever it is being used for.
فَيُحْرِقُ ٱلثَّوْبَ أَوِ ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةَ مِنَ ٱلصُّوفِ أَوِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ أَوْ مَتَاعِ ٱلْجِلْدِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ فِيهِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ، لِأَنَّهَا بَرَصٌ مُفْسِدٌ. بِٱلنَّارِ يُحْرَقُ. ٥٢ 52
The priest is to burn it, whether the affected item is wool or linen or leather. Because the mold is harmful, the article must be burned.
لَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا ٱلضَّرْبَةُ لَمْ تَمْتَدَّ فِي ٱلثَّوْبِ فِي ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةِ أَوْ فِي مَتَاعِ ٱلْجِلْدِ، ٥٣ 53
However, if when the priest inspects it again it, the patch mold has not spread,
يَأْمُرُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ أَنْ يَغْسِلُوا مَا فِيهِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ، وَيَحْجُزُهُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثَانِيَةً. ٥٤ 54
the priest shall order that the affected item is washed and placed in isolation for another seven days.
فَإِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ بَعْدَ غَسْلِ ٱلْمَضْرُوبِ وَإِذَا ٱلضَّرْبَةُ لَمْ تُغَيِّرْ مَنْظَرَهَا، وَلَا ٱمْتَدَّتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ. بِٱلنَّارِ تُحْرِقُهُ. إِنَّهَا نُخْرُوبٌ فِي جُرْدَةِ بَاطِنِهِ أَوْ ظَاهِرِهِ. ٥٥ 55
Once it has been washed, the priest is to inspect again it, and if the item with the mold hasn't changed how it looks, it is unclean. Though the mold hasn't spread, you must burn the item, whether the mold damage is on the inside or the outside.
لَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَى ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَإِذَا ٱلضَّرْبَةُ كَامِدَةُ ٱللَّوْنِ بَعْدَ غَسْلِهِ، يُمَزِّقُهَا مِنَ ٱلثَّوْبِ أَوِ ٱلْجِلْدِ مِنَ ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةِ. ٥٦ 56
If the priest inspects it and the patch of mold has faded after it has been washed, he is to cut out the affected part the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted.
ثُمَّ إِنْ ظَهَرَتْ أَيْضًا فِي ٱلثَّوْبِ فِي ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةِ أَوْ فِي مَتَاعِ ٱلْجِلْدِ فَهِيَ مُفْرِخَةٌ. بِٱلنَّارِ تُحْرِقُ مَا فِيهِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ. ٥٧ 57
However, if the mold comes back then it is spreading. In that case you must burn the affected item.
وَأَمَّا ٱلثَّوْبُ، ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةُ أَوْ مَتَاعُ ٱلْجِلْدِ ٱلَّذِي تَغْسِلُهُ وَتَزُولُ مِنْهُ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ، فَيُغْسَلُ ثَانِيَةً فَيَطْهُرُ. ٥٨ 58
If the mold disappears after washing, then have it washed again, and it will be clean.
«هَذِهِ شَرِيعَةُ ضَرْبَةِ ٱلْبَرَصِ فِي ٱلصُّوفِ أَوِ ٱلْكَتَّانِ، فِي ٱلسَّدَى أَوِ ٱللُّحْمَةِ أَوْ فِي كُلِّ مَتَاعٍ مِنْ جِلْدٍ، لِلْحُكْمِ بِطَهَارَتِهِ أَوْ نَجَاسَتِهِ». ٥٩ 59
These are the regulations regarding what needs to be done when mold contaminates wool or linen material, whether woven or knitted, or any leather item, as to declaring it clean or unclean.”
