[1] And the Lord said to Moses, [2] This is the law of the leper on the day
when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest; [3] And the priest
is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees
that the mark of the disease has gone from him, [4] Then the priest is to
give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean
birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop. [5] And the priest
will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made
of earth, over flowing water. [6] And he will take the living bird and the
wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the
bird which was put to death over flowing water. [7] And shaking it seven
times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean
and will let the living bird go free into the open country. [8] And he who
is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have
a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the
tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days. [9] And on
the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin
and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his
clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean. [10] And
on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them,
and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth
parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
[11] And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being
made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of
meeting. [12] And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it
as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave
offering before the Lord; [13] And he is to put the male lamb to death in
the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering,
in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest,
so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy. [14] And let the priest
take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the
point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of
his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; [15] And take some
of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand; [16] And let the
priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking
it out with his finger seven times before the Lord; [17] And of the rest of
the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the
right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right
hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering
for wrongdoing; [18] And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will
put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make
him free from sin before the Lord. [19] And the priest will give the
sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his
unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death.
[20] And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering
burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be
clean. [21] And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take
one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his
sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a
meal offering, and a log of oil; [22] And two doves or two young pigeons,
such as he is able to get; and one will be for a sin-offering and the other
for a burned offering. [23] And on the eighth day he will take them to the
priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may
be made clean. [24] And the priest will take the lamb of the offering for
wrongdoing and the oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;
[25] And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and
the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and
put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on
the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; [26]
And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,
[27] Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven
times: [28] And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on
the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of
his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where
the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put; [29] And the rest of the
oil which is in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to
be made clean, to take away his sin before the Lord. [30] And he will make
an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to
get; [31] And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a
burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the
sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord. [32] This is the law
for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to
get that which is necessary for making himself clean. [33] And the Lord
said to Moses and Aaron, [34] When you have come into the land of Canaan
which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a
house in the land of your heritage, [35] Then let the owner of the house
come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's
disease in the house. [36] And the priest will give orders for everything
to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that
the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to
go in to see the house; [37] And if he sees that the walls of the house are
marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the
face of the wall; [38] Then the priest will go out of the door of the
house, and keep the house shut up for seven days: [39] And the priest is to
come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the
walls of the house are increased in size; [40] Then the priest will give
orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put
them out into an unclean place outside the town: [41] And he will have the
house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put
out into an unclean place outside the town: [42] And they will take other
stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste
and put it on the walls of the house. [43] And if the disease comes out
again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls
have been rubbed and the new paste put on, [44] Then the priest will come
and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the
leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean. [45] And the house
will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste;
and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.
[46] And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it
is shut up, will be unclean till evening. [47] And anyone who has been
sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who
takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed. [48] And if
the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the
new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the
house is clean, because the disease is gone. [49] And in order to make the
house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and
hyssop; [50] And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over
flowing water; [51] And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red
thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and
in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times. [52] And he
will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water
and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red
thread. [53] But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the
open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean.
[54] This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin
diseases; [55] And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house; [56]
And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin; [57] To make
clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the
disease of the leper.
