45 A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
46 As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
Focused Passage
Leviticus 13:45-46
Priestly Examination of Skin Disease, Uncleanness, and Contaminated Garments
The LORD commands Moses and Aaron to instruct the priests how to examine swelling, rash, bright spots, raw flesh, boils, burns, scalp disease, harmless rashes, baldness-related conditions, confirmed defiling disease, and contaminated fabric or leather, so that clean and unclean may be rightly distinguished.
