First reading
The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: “When someone has on the skin of their body a swelling or an eruption or a spot, and it turns into a leprous disease on the skin of their body, that person shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests.
“Anyone who has the leprous disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of their head be dishevelled and shall cover their upper lip and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean.’ That person shall remain unclean as long as the disease persists; and being unclean, such a one shall live alone with their dwelling outside the camp.”
