Leviticus 14
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing, that he has been 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 has gone out to the outside of the camp, and the priest has seen, and behold, the plague of leprosy has ceased from the leper,
Who going out of the camp when he shall And that the leprosy is cleansed,
4 and the priest has commanded, and he has taken for him who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and 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 has commanded, and he has slaughtered one bird on 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 [as for] the living bird, he takes it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and has dipped them and the living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the 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 has sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and has pronounced him clean, and has sent out the living bird over the face of 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 he who is to be cleansed has washed his garments, and has shaved all his hair, and has bathed with water, and has been clean, and afterward he comes into the camp, and has dwelt at the outside of 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 it has been, on the seventh day—he shaves all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shaves, and he has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and has been 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 takes two lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three-tenth parts of flour [for] a present, 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 cleansing has caused the man who is to be cleansed to stand with them before YHWH, at the opening 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 has taken one male lamb, and has brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH.
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 has slaughtered the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering, the guilt-offering is for 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 has taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest has put [it] 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;
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 has taken of the log of oil, and has poured [it] on the left palm of the priest,
And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left. hand,
16 and the priest has dipped his right finger in the oil which [is] on his left palm, and has sprinkled of the oil with his finger seven times before YHWH.
And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times.
17 And of the remainder of the oil which [is] on his palm, the priest puts [it] 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;
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 remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest, he puts [it] on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest has made atonement for him before YHWH.
And upon his head.
19 And the priest has made the sin-offering, and has made atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterward he slaughters the 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 has caused the burnt-offering to ascend, also the present, on the altar, and the priest has made atonement for him, and he has been 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 his hand is not reaching [these things], then he has taken one lamb [for] a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth part of flour mixed with oil for a present, 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 turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand reaches to, and one has been a sin-offering and one a 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 has brought them in on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, before YHWH.
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 has taken the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH;
And the priest receiving the lamb for trespass, and the sextary of oil, shall elevate them together.
25 and he has slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest has taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and has put [it] 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;
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 pours of the oil on the left palm of the priest;
But he shall pour part of the oil into his own left hand,
27 and the priest has sprinkled with his right finger of the oil which [is] on his left palm, seven times before YHWH.
And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord:
28 And the priest has 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;
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 he puts the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him, before YHWH.
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 has made one of the turtle-doves or of the young pigeons (from that which his hand reaches to,
And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon,
31 [even] that which his hand reaches to), one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering, besides the present, and the priest has made atonement for him who is to be cleansed before YHWH.
One for trespass, and the other for a holocaust, with their libations.
32 This [is] a law of him in whom [is] a plague of leprosy, whose hand does not reach to his cleansing.”
This is the sacrifice of a leper, that is not able to have all things that appertain to his cleansing.
33 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
34 “When you come into 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,
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 he whose the house [is] has come in and declared [it] to the priest, saying, Some plague has appeared to me 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 has commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest comes in to see the plague (that all which [is] in the house is not unclean), and afterward the priest comes 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 he has seen the plague, and behold, the plague [is] in the walls of the house, hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and their appearance [is] lower than 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 and the priest has gone out of the house to the opening of the house, and has shut up the house [for] seven days.
He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days,
39 And the priest has turned back on the seventh day, and has seen, and behold, the plague has 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 and the priest has commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them to the outside of the city, to 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 he causes the house to be scraped all around inside, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at 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 have taken other stones, and brought [them] to the place of the stones, and he takes other clay and has coated 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 returns, and has broken out in the house, after he has drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the coating,
But if, after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth,
44 then the priest has come in and seen, and behold, the plague has spread in the house; it [is] a fretting 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 he has broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he has brought [them] forth to the outside of the city, to 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 who is going into the house all the days he has shut it up, is unclean until the evening;
He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until evening,
47 and he who is lying in the house washes his garments; and he who is eating in the house washes his garments.
And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes.
48 And if the priest certainly comes in, and has seen, and behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the coating of the house, then the priest has pronounced the house clean, for the plague has been 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 has taken two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop for the cleansing of the house;
And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50 and he has slaughtered one bird on an earthen vessel, over running water;
And having immolated one sparrow In an earthen vessel over living waters,
51 and he has taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and has dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and has sprinkled against 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 has 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;
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 has sent the living bird away to the outside of the city to the face of the field, and has made atonement for the house, and it has been 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 every plague of the leprosy and for scale,
This is the law of every kind of leprosy and stroke.
55 and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
Of the leprosy of garments and houses,
56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot—
Of a scar and of blisters breaking out, of a shining spot, and when the colours are diversely changed:
57 to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.”
That it may be known when a thing is clean or unclean.
