Leviticus 14

1 The Lord told Moses,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 “These are the regulations regarding those who have had a skin disease when they are declared clean having been brought to the priest.

'This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing, that he hath been brought in unto the priest,

3 The priest must go outside the camp and inspect the person. If the skin disease has healed,

and the priest hath gone out unto the outside of the camp, and the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague of leprosy hath ceased from the leper,

4 the priest shall have two ceremonially clean birds brought to him, also some cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop, on behalf of the person to be made clean.

and the priest hath commanded, and he hath taken for him who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

5 The priest will order one of the birds to be killed over a clay pot filled with fresh water.

'And the priest hath commanded, and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

6 He will take the live bird together with the cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water.

[as to] the living bird, he taketh it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and hath dipped them and the living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water,

7 He will use the blood to sprinkle seven times the person being made clean of the skin disease. Then the priest will declare them clean and let the live bird fly away.

and he hath sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and hath pronounced him clean, and hath sent out the living bird on the face of the field.

8 The one being made clean must wash their clothes, shave off all their hair, and wash themselves with water; then they will be will be ceremonially clean. After that they can enter the camp, but they must stay outside their tent for seven days.

'And he who is to be cleansed hath washed his garments, and hath shaved all his hair, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean, and afterwards he doth come in unto the camp, and hath dwelt at the outside of his tent seven days.

9 On the seventh day they must shave off all their hair: their head, beard, eyebrows, and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes and wash themselves with water, and they will be clean.

'And it hath been, on the seventh day — he shaveth all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair he doth shave, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and hath been clean.

10 On the eighth day they are to bring two male lambs and one female lamb, all a year old and without defects; a grain offering consisting of three-tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with olive oil, and one ‘log’ of olive oil.

'And on the eighth day he taketh two lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three tenth deals of flour [for] a present, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

11 The priest who conducts the ceremony will present the person to be made clean to the Lord, along with these offerings, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

'And the priest who is cleansing hath caused the man who is to be cleansed to stand with them before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,

12 The priest will take one of the male lambs and present it as a guilt offering, together with the log of olive oil; and he will wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.

and the priest hath taken the one he-lamb, and hath brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and hath waved them — a wave offering before Jehovah.

13 Then he will kill the lamb near the sanctuary where the sin offering and burnt offering are killed. The sin offering and the guilt offering belong to the priest; it is most holy.

'And he hath slaughtered the lamb in the place where he slaughtereth the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering the guilt-offering is to the priest; it [is] most holy.

14 The priest will put some of the blood from the guilt offering on their right earlobe, on their right thumb, and on the big toe of their right foot of the person being made clean.

'And the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath 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;

15 The priest will pour some of the log of olive oil into his left palm,

and the priest hath taken of the log of oil, and hath poured on the left palm of the priest,

16 dip his right index finger in it, and using his finger, sprinkle some of the olive oil seven times before the Lord.

and the priest hath dipped his right finger in the oil which [is] on his left palm, and hath sprinkled of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.

17 The priest will then use some of the rest of the olive oil remaining in his palm on the person being made clean, and put it on top of the blood of the guilt offering. This will be on their right earlobe, on their right thumb, and on the big toe of their right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.

'And of the residue of the oil which [is] on his palm, the priest putteth 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 guilt-offering;

18 What is left of the olive oil in his palm, the priest will put on the head of the person being made clean and then make them right before the Lord.

and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest, he putteth on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah.

19 The priest will sacrifice the sin offering to make the person right, so that they are now clean from their uncleanness. After that, the priest will kill the burnt offering

'And the priest hath made the sin-offering, and hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterwards he doth slaughter the burnt-offering;

20 and offer it on the altar, together with the grain offering, to make them right, and they will be clean.

and the priest hath caused the burnt-offering to ascend, also the present, on the altar, and the priest hath made atonement for him, and he hath been clean.

21 But those who are poor and can't afford these offerings must bring one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make them right, together with a tenth an ephah of best flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of olive oil,

'And if he [is] poor, and his hand is not reaching [these things], then he hath taken one lamb — a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth deal of flour mixed with oil for a present, and a log of oil,

22 and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever they can afford. One is to be used as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.

and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand reacheth to, and one hath been a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering;

23 On the eighth day they are to take them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the Lord so they can be made clean.

and he hath brought them in on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah.

24 The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering, together with the log of olive oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.

'And the priest hath taken the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest hath waved them — a wave-offering before Jehovah;

25 After he kills the lamb for the guilt offering, the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one being made clean, on their right thumb, and on the big toe of their right foot.

and he hath slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and hath 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;

26 Then the priest will pour some of the olive oil into his left palm

and the priest doth pour of the oil on the left palm of the priest;

27 and using his right index finger, will sprinkle some of the oil from his left palm seven times before the Lord.

and the priest hath sprinkled with his right finger of the oil which [is] on his left palm, seven times before Jehovah.

28 The priest shall also put some of the olive oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the person being made clean, on their right thumb, and on the big toe of his right foot, in the same places as the blood of the guilt offering.

'And the priest hath put of the oil which [is] on his palm, 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 guilt-offering;

29 What is left of the olive oil in his palm, the priest will put on the head of the person being made clean and then make them right before the Lord.

and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest he doth put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him, before Jehovah.

30 Then they must sacrifice one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, whichever they can afford,

'And he hath made the one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons (from that which his hand reacheth to,

31 one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, along with the grain offering. This is how the priest will make the person right and clean before the Lord.

[even] that which his hand reacheth to), the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt offering, besides the present, and the priest hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Jehovah.

32 These are the regulations for those who have a skin disease and can't afford the usual offerings to make people clean.”

This [is] a law of him in whom [is] a plague of leprosy, whose hand reacheth not to his cleansing.'

33 Then the Lord told Moses and Aaron,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

34 “When you get to Canaan, the land I'm giving you to own, if I put some mold into a house there and contaminate it,

'When ye come in unto the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house [in] the land of your possession;

35 the owner of the house must come and tell the priest, ‘It seems my house has something like mold.’

then hath he whose the house [is] come in and declared to the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the house;

36 The priest must order the house to be emptied before he goes in to inspect the mold, so that nothing in the house will be declared unclean. Once that's done, the priest is to go in and inspect the house.

and the priest hath commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest cometh in to see the plague (that all which [is] in the house be not unclean), and afterwards doth the priest come in to see the house;

37 He will examine the house and see whether the mold on the walls is made up of green or red indentations that go under the surface,

and he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague [is] in the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red, and their appearance [is] lower than the wall,

38 the priest shall go out of door and seal the house for seven days.

and the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days.

39 On the seventh day the priest will return and inspect the house again. If the mold has spread on the walls,

'And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

40 he will order the affected stones to be removed and disposed of in an unclean area outside the town.

and the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place;

41 Then he will order the all the plaster inside of the house to be scraped off and dumped in an unclean area outside the town.

and the house he doth cause to be scraped within round about, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;

42 Different stones must be used to replace the ones removed, and new plaster will be needed replaster the house.

and they have taken other stones, and brought [them] in unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath daubed the house.

43 If the mold returns and affects the house again even after the stones have been removed and the house has been scraped and replastered,

'And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the daubing;

44 the priest must come and inspect it. If he sees the mold has spread in the house, it is a harmful mold; the house is unclean.

then hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the house; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house; it [is] unclean.

45 It must be demolished, and all its stones, timbers, and plaster must be taken and dumped in an unclean area outside the town.

'And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought [them] forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place.

46 Anyone who goes into the house during any time that it is sealed will be unclean until the evening.

'And he who is going in unto the house all the days he hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening;

47 Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes.

and he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments; and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments.

48 However, if when the priest comes and inspects it and finds that the mold hasn't reappeared after the house was replastered, he shall declare the house clean because the mold is gone.

'And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean, for the plague hath been healed.

49 He will bring two birds, cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop to make the house clean.

'And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

50 He will kill one of the birds over a clay pot filled with fresh water.

and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

51 He will dip the live bird, the cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop, in the blood of the bird that was killed and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

and he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath sprinkled upon the house seven times.

52 He will make the house clean with the bird's blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the crimson thread.

'And he hath cleansed 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 Then he will let the live bird fly away outside the town. This is how he will make the house right, and it will be clean.

and he hath sent away the living bird unto the outside of the city unto the face of the field, and hath made atonement for the house, and it hath been clean.

54 These are the regulations for any infectious skin disease, for a scabby infection,

'This [is] the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scall,

55 for mold on clothing and in a house,

and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

56 as well as for a swelling, rash, or spot.

and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, —

57 They are used to decide whether something is clean or unclean. These are the regulations regarding skin diseases and mold.”

to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.'
