Leviticus 14

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 This is the law of the leper: in whatever day he shall have been cleansed, then shall he be brought 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 shall come forth out of the camp, and the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague of the leprosy is removed from the leper.

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

4 And the priest shall give directions, and they shall take for him that is cleansed two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, 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 shall give direction, and they shall kill one bird over an earthen vessel over running water.

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

6 And as for the living bird he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was slain over running 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 he shall sprinkle seven times upon him that was cleansed of his leprosy, and he shall be clean; and he shall let go the living bird into the field.

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 the man that has been cleansed shall wash his garments, and shall shave off all his hair, and shall wash himself in water, and shall be clean; and after that he shall go into the camp, and shall remain out of his house 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 it shall come to pass on the seventh day, he shall shave off all his hair, his head and his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his hair shall he shave; and he shall wash his garments, and wash his body with water, and shall 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 he shall take two lambs without spot of a year old, and one ewe lamp without spot of a year old, and three-tenths of fine flour for sacrifice kneaded with oil, and one small cup 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 that cleanses shall present the man under purification, and these [offerings] before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of witness.

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 shall take one lamb, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and set them apart for a special 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 they shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the whole burnt offerings, and the sin-offerings, in the holy places; for it is a sin-offering: as the trespass-offering, it belongs to the priest, 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 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 the person under cleansing, 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 the priest shall take of the cup of oil, and shall pour it upon his own left hand.

And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left. hand,

16 And he shall dip with the finger of his right hand [into] some of the oil that is in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle 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 the remaining oil that is in his hand, the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is under cleansing, 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.

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 remaining oil that is on the hand of the priest, the priest shall put on the head of the cleansed [leper], and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.

And upon his head.

19 And the priest shall sacrifice the sin-offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the person under purification [to cleanse him] from his sin, and afterwards the priest shall kill the whole burnt offering.

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 shall offer the whole burnt offering, and the sacrifice upon the altar before the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be cleansed.

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

21 And if he should be poor, and can’t afford so much, he shall take one lamb for his transgression for a separate-offering, so as to make propitiation for him, and a tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a sacrifice, and one cup 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 turtledoves, or two young pigeons, as he can afford; and the one shall be for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering.

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

23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day, to purify him, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord.

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 shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and place them for a set-offering before the Lord.

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

25 And 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 that is under purification, 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 shall pour of the oil on his own left hand.

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

27 And the priest shall sprinkle with the finger of his right hand some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.

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

28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is on his hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification, 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.

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 that which is left of the oil which is on the hand of the priest he shall put on the head of him that is purged, and the priest shall make atonement for him 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 shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, as he can afford it,

And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon,

31 the one for a sin-offering, the other for a whole burnt offering with the meat-offering, and the priest shall make an atonement before the Lord for him that is under purification.

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

32 This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, and who can’t afford the offerings for his purification.

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

33 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

34 Whenever you shall enter into the land of the Chananites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;

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 the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague 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 shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest comes in to see the plague, and [thus] none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to examine 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 he shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the plague is in the walls of the house, [he will see] greenish or reddish cavities, and the appearance of them [will be] beneath the surface of the walls.

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 And the priest shall come out of the house to the door of the house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.

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

39 And the priest shall return on the seventh day and view the house; and, behold, [if] the plague is spread in the walls of the house,

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

40 then the priest shall give orders, and they shall take away the stones in which the plague is, and shall cast them out of the city into an unclean place.

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

41 And they shall scrape the house within round about, and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an unclean place.

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 shall take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the [former] stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster 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 plague should return again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house is scraped, and after it has been plastered,

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

44 then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy 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 they shall take down the house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the city into an unclean place.

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 he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.

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

47 And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening.

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

48 and if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and behold the plague be not at all spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall declare the house clean, because the plague is healed.

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 he shall take to purify the house two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

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

50 And he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.

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

51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living bird; and shall dip it into the blood of the bird slain over running water, and with them he shall sprinkle 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 shall purify 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 spun scarlet.

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 And he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall 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 concerning every plague of leprosy and scurf,

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

55 and of the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

Of the leprosy of garments and houses,

56 and of a sore, and of a clear spot, and of a shining one,

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

57 and of declaring in what day it is unclean, and in what day it shall be purged: this [is] the law of the leprosy.

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