< Leviticus 14 >
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 This is the law of the leper in the day of his clensing: that is, he shall be brought vnto the Priest,
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 shall go out of the campe, and the Priest shall consider him: and if the plague of leprosie be healed in the leper,
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 shall the Priest commaund to take for him that is clensed, two sparrowes aliue and cleane, and cedar wood and a skarlet lace, and hyssope.
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 shall commaund to kill one of the birdes ouer pure water in an earthen vessell.
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 After, he shall take the liue sparowe with the cedar wood, and the skarlet lace, and the hyssope, and shall dip them and the liuing sparowe in the blood of the sparowe slaine, ouer the pure water,
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 hee shall sprinkle vpon him, that must be clensed of his leprosie, seuen times, and clense him, and shall let goe the liue sparowe into the broad fielde.
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 Then he that shall be clensed, shall wash his clothes, and shaue off all his heare, and wash himselfe in water, so he shalbe cleane: after that shall he come into the host, but shall tary without his tent seuen dayes.
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 So in the seuenth day hee shall shaue off all his heare, both his head, and his beard, and his eye browes: euen all his heare shall he shaue, and shall wash his clothes and shall wash his flesh in water: so he shalbe cleane.
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 Then in the eight day he shall take two hee lambes without blemish, and an ewe lambe of a yere olde without blemish, and three tenth deales of fine flower for a meate offering, mingled with oyle, and a pint of oyle.
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 that maketh him cleane shall bring the man which is to bee made cleane, and those things, before the Lord, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
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 Then the Priest shall take one lambe, and offer him for a trespasse offering, and the pint of oyle, and shake the to and from before the Lord.
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 hee shall kill the lambe in the place where the sinne offring and the burnt offring are slaine, euen in the holy place: for as the sinne offring is the Priests, so is the trespasse offring: for it is most holy.
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 So the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespasse offring, and put it vpon the lappe of the right eare of him that shalbe clensed, and vpon the thumbe of his right hand, and vpon the great toe of his right foote.
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 The Priest shall also take of ye pint of oyle, and powre it into the palme of his left hand,
And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;
16 And the Priest shall dip his right finger in the oyle that is in his left hand, and sprinkle of the oyle with his finger seuen times before the Lord.
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 oyle that is in his hand, shall the Priest put vpon the lap of the right eare of him that is to bee clensed, and vpon the thumbe of his right hand, and vpon the great toe of his right foote, where the blood of the trespasse offring was put.
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 But the remnant of the oyle that is in the Priests hand, he shall powre vpon the head of him that is to be clensed: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.
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 shall offer the sinne offring and make an atonement for him that is to bee clensed of his vncleannesse: then after shall he kill the burnt offring.
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 So the Priest shall offer ye burnt offring and the meat offring vpon ye altar and the Priest shall make an atonement for him: so he shalbe cleane.
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 But if he be poore, and not able, then he shall bring one lambe for a trespasse offring to be shaken, for his reconciliation, and a tenth deale of fine flower mingled with oyle, for a meate offring, with a pinte of oyle.
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 Also two turtle doues, or two yong pigeons, as he is able, whereof the one shalbe a sinne offering, and the other a burnt offring,
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 he shall bring them the eight day for his clensing vnto the Priest at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before ye Lord.
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 The the Priest shall take the lambe of the trespasse offring, and the pint of oyle, and the Priest shall shake them to and from before the Lord.
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 shall kill the lambe of the trespasse offering, and the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespasse offring, and put it vpon the lap of his right eare that is to be clensed, and vpon ye thumbe of his right hande, and vpon the great toe of his right foote.
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 Also the Priest shall powre of the oyle into the palme of his owne left hand.
And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,
27 So ye Priest shall with his right finger sprinkle of the oyle that is in his left hand, seuen times before the Lord.
Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:
28 Then the Priest shall put of the oyle that is in his hande, vpon the lap of the right eare of him that is to bee clensed, and vpon the thumbe of his right hande, and vpon the great toe of his right foote: vpon the place of the blood of the trespasse offring.
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 But ye rest of the oyle that is in the Priests hand, he shall put vpon the head of him that is to be clensed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord.
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 Also hee shall present one of the turtle doues, or of the yong pigeons, as he is able:
And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get;
31 Such, I say, as he is able, the one for a sinne offring, and the other for a burnt offring with the meate offring: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him that is to bee clensed before the Lord.
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 lawe of him which hath the plague of leprosie, who is not able in his clensing to offer the whole.
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 The Lord also spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
34 When ye be come vnto the land of Canaan which I giue you in possession, if I sende the plague of leprosie in an house of the land of your possession,
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 he that oweth the house, shall come and tell the Priest, saying, Me thinke there is like a plague of leprosie in the house.
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 Then the Priest shall commande them to emptie the house before the Priest goe into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made vncleane, and then shall the Priest goe in to see the house,
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 hee shall marke the plague: and if the plague be in the walles of the house, and that there be deepe spots, greenish or reddish, which seeme to be lower then the wall,
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 shall goe out of the house to the doore of the house, and shall cause to shut vp the house seuen dayes.
Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:
39 So the Priest shall come againe ye seuenth day: and if he see that the plague bee increased in the walles of the house,
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 shall commande them to take away the stones wherein the plague is, and they shall cast them into a foule place without the citie.
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 Also hee shall cause to scrape the house within rounde about, and powre the dust, that they haue pared off, without the citie in an vncleane place.
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 shall take other stones, and put them in the places of those stones, and shall take other mortar, to plaister the house with.
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 But if the plague come againe and breake out in the house, after that he hath taken away ye stones, and after that hee hath scraped and playstered the house,
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 shall come and see: and if the plague growe in the house, it is a freating leprosie in the house: it is therefore vncleane.
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 hee shall breake downe the house, with the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and hee shall carie them out of the citie vnto an vncleane place.
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 Moreouer he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut vp, hee shall bee vncleane vntill the euen.
And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.
47 Hee also that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes: he likewise that eateth in the house, shall wash his clothes.
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 But if the Priest shall come and see, that the plague hath spread no further in the house, after the house be plaistered, the Priest shall pronounce that house cleane, for the plague is healed.
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 Then shall he take to purifie the house, two sparrowes, and cedar wood, and skarlet lace, and hyssope.
And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;
50 And hee shall kill one sparowe ouer pure water in an earthen vessell,
And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water;
51 And shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssope, and the skarlet lace with the liue Sparrow, and dip them in the blood of the slayne Sparrow, and in the pure water, and sprinkle the house seuen times:
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 So shall hee clense the house with ye blood of the sparowe, and with the pure water, and with the liue sparowe, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssope, and with the skarlet lace.
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 Afterwarde he shall let go the liue sparowe out of the towne into the broad fieldes: so shall he make atonement for the house, and it shall be cleane.
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 euery plague of leprosie and blacke spot,
This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;
55 And of the leprosie of the garment, and of the house,
And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;
56 And of the swelling, and of the skab, and of the white spot.
And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin;
57 This is the lawe of the leprosie to teache when a thing is vncleane, and when it is cleane.
To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.
