Plague

And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one Plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the Plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no Plague among them, when thou numberest them.

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 like the Plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

• Leprosy
• Defilement

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 deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a Plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

• Seven

If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the Plague seven days:

And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the Plague in his sight be at a stay, and the Plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:

And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the Plague be somewhat 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.

When the Plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;

And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the Plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;

Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the Plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.

And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the Plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the Plague: he is clean.

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 unclean: it is a Plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a Plague.

Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the Plague of leprosy.

And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the Plague of leprosy.

If a man or woman have a Plague upon the head or the beard;

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 hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.

And if the priest look on the Plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the Plague of the scall seven days:

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the Plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;

He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his Plague is in his head.

• Mourning

And the leper in whom the Plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

All the days wherein the Plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

The garment also that the Plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

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 skin; it is a Plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:

And the priest shall look upon the Plague, and shut up it that hath the Plague seven days:

And he shall look on the Plague on the seventh day: if the Plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the Plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.

He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the Plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the Plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;

Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the Plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

And the priest shall look on the Plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the Plague have not changed his colour, and the Plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.

And if the priest look, and, behold, the Plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:

And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading Plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the Plague is with fire.

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 the second time, and shall be clean.

This is the law of the Plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the Plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;

This is the law of him in whom is the Plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the Plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a Plague in the house:

Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the Plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

And he shall look on the Plague, and, behold, if the Plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the Plague be spread in the walls of the house;

Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the Plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

And if the Plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the Plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the Plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the Plague is healed.

This is the law for all manner of Plague of leprosy, and scall,

And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no Plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.

• Exemplified
• Happiness
• Israelites

Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the Plague before the LORD.

And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the Plague is begun.

Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a Plague among the congregation of the LORD.

• Priest

Take heed in the Plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.

Also every sickness, and every Plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever Plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
