²¹ So King Uzziah was a leper till the day of his death, living separately in his private house; for he was cut off from the house of God; and Jotham his son was ruling over his house, judging the people of the land.

⁴⁶ While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

² Give orders to the children of Israel to put outside the tent-circle every leper, and anyone who has any sort of flow from his body, and anyone who is unclean from the touch of the dead;

³ Male or female they are to be put outside the tent-circle, so that they may not make unclean my resting-place among them.

¹⁵ So Miriam was shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days: and the people did not go forward on their journey till Miriam had come in again.

³ Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?

⁵ And the Lord sent disease on the king and he became a leper, and to the day of his death he was living separately in his private house. And Jotham his son was over his house, judging the people of the land.

⁶ Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

⁷ And Azariah went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Jotham his son became king in his place.
