Leviticus 14

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest;

This is the rite of a leper, when he is to be cleansed: he shall be brought 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,

Who going out of the camp when he shall And that the leprosy is cleansed,

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.

Shall command him that is to be purified, to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and scarlet, 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.

And he shall command one of the sparrows to be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters:

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.

But the other that is alive he shall dip, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet and the hyssop, in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated:

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.

Wherewith he shall sprinkle him that is to be cleansed seven times, that he may be rightly purified: and he shall let go the living sparrow, that it may fly into the field.

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.

And when the man hath washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair of his body, and shall be washed with water: and being purified, he shall enter into the camp, yet so that he tarry without his own tent 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.

And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard and his eyebrows, and the hair of all his body. And having washed again his clothes, and his body,

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.

On the eighth day he shall take two lambs without blemish, and an ewe of a year old without blemish, and three tenths of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil apart.

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.

And when the priest that purifieth the man, hath presented him, and all these things before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,

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;

He shall take a. lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with the sextary of oil: and having offered all 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.

He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place: for as that which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth to the priest: it is holy of holies.

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;

And the priest taking of the blood of the victim that was immolated for trespass, shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot:

15 And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;

And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own 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;

And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times.

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;

And the rest of the oil in his left band, he shall pour upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, and upon the blood that was shed for trespass,

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.

And upon his head.

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.

And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and shall offer the sacrifice for sin: then shall he immolate the holocaust,

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.

And put it on the altar with the libations thereof, and the man shall be rightly cleansed.

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;

But if he be poor, and his hand cannot find the things aforesaid: he shall take a lamb for an offering for trespass, that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of hour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary 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.

And two turtles or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other for a holocaust:

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.

And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord.

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;

And the priest receiving the lamb for trespass, and the sextary of oil, shall elevate them together.

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;

And the lamb being immolated, he shall put of the blood thereof upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and 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,

But he shall pour part of the oil into his own left hand,

27 Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:

And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord:

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;

And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, in the place of the blood that was shed for trespass.

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.

And the other part of the oil that is in his left hand, he shall pour upon the head of the purified person, that he may appease the Lord for him.

30 And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get;

And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon,

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.

One for trespass, and the other for a holocaust, with their libations.

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.

This is the sacrifice of a leper, that is not able to have all things that appertain to his cleansing.

33 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

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,

When you shall be come into the land of Chanaan, which I will give you for a possession, if there be the plague of leprosy in a house,

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.

He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my 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;

And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, lest all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of 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;

And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all the rest,

38 Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up 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;

And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread,

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:

He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place:

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:

And that the house be scraped on the inside round about, and the dust of the scraping be scattered without the city into an unclean place:

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.

And that other stones be laid in the place of them that were taken away, and the house be plastered with other mortar.

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,

But if, after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth,

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.

The priest going in perceive that the leprosy is returned, and the walls full of spots, it is a lasting leprosy, and the house 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.

And they shall destroy it forthwith, and shall cast the stones and timber thereof, and all the dust without the town into an unclean place.

46 And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until 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.

And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes.

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.

But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, it being cured,

49 And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;

And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

50 And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water;

And having immolated one sparrow In an earthen vessel over living waters,

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.

He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and shall dip all in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated, and in the living water, and he shall sprinkle 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.

And shall purify it as well with the blood of the sparrow, as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and with the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet.

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.

And when he hath let go the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be rightly cleansed.

54 This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;

This is the law of every kind of leprosy and stroke.

55 And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;

Of the leprosy of garments and houses,

56 And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin;

Of a scar and of blisters breaking out, of a shining spot, and when the colours are diversely changed:

57 To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.

That it may be known when a thing is clean or unclean.
