[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [2] This shall be the law of the leper
in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought to the priest: [3] 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, [4] then shall the
priest command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean
birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: [5] The priest shall
command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
[6] As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the
scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the
blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: [7] He shall
sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and
shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird into the open
field. [8] He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off
all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean: and after
that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven
days. [9] It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair
off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall
shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in
water, and he shall be clean. [10] On the eighth day he shall take two
he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish, and
three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled
with oil, and one log of oil. [11] The priest who cleanses him shall set
the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Yahweh, at the door
of the tent of meeting. [12] The priest shall take one of the he-lambs, and
offer him for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a
wave-offering before Yahweh: [13] and he shall kill the he-lamb in the
place where they kill the sin-offering and the burnt offering, in the place
of the sanctuary: for as the sin-offering is the priest`s, so is the
trespass-offering: it is most holy: [14] and the priest shall take of the
blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of
the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right
hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. [15] The priest shall take of
the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand; [16] and
the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand,
and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh:
[17] and of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put on
the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of
his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the
trespass-offering: [18] and the rest of the oil that is in the priest`s
hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed: and the priest
shall make atonement for him before Yahweh. [19] The priest shall offer the
sin-offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of
his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering; [20] and
the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal-offering on the
altar: and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
[21] If he be poor, and can`t get so much, then he shall take one he-lamb
for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one
tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil for a
meal-offering, and a log of oil; [22] and two turtle-doves, or two young
pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin-offering,
and the other a burnt offering. [23] On the eighth day he shall bring them
for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting, before
Yahweh: [24] and the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering,
and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering
before Yahweh. [25] He shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering; and
the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put it on
the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of
his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. [26] The priest
shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand; [27] and the
priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his
left hand seven times before Yahweh: [28] and the priest shall put of the
oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be
cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his
right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering: [29] and
the rest of the oil that is in the priest`s hand he shall put on the head
of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Yahweh. [30]
He shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as he
is able to get, [31] even such as he is able to get, the one for a
sin-offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal-offering:
and the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before
Yahweh. [32] This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who
is not able to get [that which pertains] to his cleansing. [33] Yahweh
spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, [34] When you are 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; [35] then he who owns
the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There seems to me to be
as it were a plague in the house. [36] The priest shall command that they
empty the house, before the priest goes in to see the plague, that all that
is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in
to see the house: [37] and he shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the
plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or
reddish, and the appearance of it be lower than the wall; [38] then the
priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the
house seven days. [39] The priest shall come again the seventh day, and
shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
[40] then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which
the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:
[41] and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and
they shall pour out the mortar, that they scrape off, outside of the city
into an unclean place: [42] and they shall take other stones, and put them
in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall
plaster the house. [43] If the plague come again, and break out in the
house, after that he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the
house, and after it is plastered; [44] then the priest shall come in and
look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting
leprosy in the house: it is unclean. [45] He shall break down the house,
the stones of it, and the timber of it, and all the mortar of the house;
and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. [46]
Moreover he who goes into the house all the while that it is shut up shall
be unclean until the even. [47] He who lies in the house shall wash his
clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes. [48] If the
priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hasn`t spread in
the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce
the house clean, because the plague is healed. [49] He shall take to
cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: [50]
and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
[51] and he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and
the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the
running water, and sprinkle the house seven times: [52] and he shall
cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water,
and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and
with the scarlet: [53] but he shall let got the living bird out of the city
into the open field: so shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall
be clean. [54] This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for
a scall, [55] and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house, [56] and
for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot; [57] to teach when it
is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
