Leviticus 14

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

The Lord told Moses,

2 This is the law of the leper in the day of his clensing: that is, he shall be brought vnto the Priest,

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

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

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.

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.

5 And the Priest shall commaund to kill one of the birdes ouer pure water in an earthen vessell.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

15 The Priest shall also take of ye pint of oyle, and powre it into the palme of his left hand,

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

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.

dip his right index finger in it, and using his finger, sprinkle some of the olive oil 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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,

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

26 Also the Priest shall powre of the oyle into the palme of his owne left hand.

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

27 So ye Priest shall with his right finger sprinkle of the oyle that is in his left hand, seuen times before the Lord.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

30 Also hee shall present one of the turtle doues, or of the yong pigeons, as he is able:

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

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.

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.

32 This is the lawe of him which hath the plague of leprosie, who is not able in his clensing to offer the whole.

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

33 The Lord also spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Then the Lord told 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 get to Canaan, the land I'm giving you to own, if I put some mold into a house there and contaminate it,

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.

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

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,

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.

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,

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,

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.

the priest shall go out of door and seal the house 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,

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

47 Hee also that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes: he likewise that eateth in the house, shall wash his clothes.

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

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.

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.

49 Then shall he take to purifie the house, two sparrowes, and cedar wood, and skarlet lace, and hyssope.

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

50 And hee shall kill one sparowe ouer pure water in an earthen vessell,

He will kill one of the birds over a clay pot filled with fresh 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

54 This is the law for euery plague of leprosie and blacke spot,

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

55 And of the leprosie of the garment, and of the house,

for mold on clothing and in a house,

56 And of the swelling, and of the skab, and of the white spot.

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

57 This is the lawe of the leprosie to teache when a thing is vncleane, and when it is cleane.

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