Leviticus 14

1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, This is the custom of a leprouse man,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 whanne he schal be clensid. He schal be brouyt to the preest,

"This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the cohen,

3 which preest schal go out of the castels, and whanne he schal fynde that the lepre is clensid,

and the cohen shall go forth out of the camp. The cohen shall examine him, and look, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

4 he schal comaunde to the man which is clensid, that he offre for hym silf twei quyke sparewis, whiche it is leueful to ete, and a `tree of cedre, and vermylyoun, and isope.

then the cohen shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

5 And the preest schal comaunde that oon of the sparewes be offrid in `a vessel of erthe,

The cohen shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

6 on quyke watris; sotheli he schal dippe the tother sparewe quyk with the `tre of cedre, and with a reed threed and ysope, in the blood of the sparewe offrid,

As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.

7 with which he schal sprenge seuensithis hym that schal be clensid, that he be purgid riytfuli; and he schal delyuere the quyk sparewe, that it fle in to the feeld.

He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.

8 And whanne the man hath waische hise clothis, he schal schaue alle the heeris of the bodi, and he schal be waischun in watir, and he schal be clensid, and he schal entre in to the castels; so oneli that he dwelle without his tabernacle bi seuene daies;

"He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.

9 and that in the seuenthe dai he schaue the heeris of the heed, and the beerd, and brewis, and the heeris of al the bodi. And whanne the clothis and bodi ben waischun,

It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.

10 eft in the eiyetithe dai he schal take twei lambren without wem, and a scheep of o yeer without wem, and thre dymes of wheete flour, in to sacrifice, which be spreynte with oile, and bi it silf a sextarie of oyle.

"On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

11 And whanne the preest, that purgith the man, hath set hym and alle hise thingis bifor the Lord, in the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng, he schal take a lomb,

The cohen who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

12 and schal offre it for trespas, and schal offre the sextarie of oyle; and whanne alle thingis ben offrid bifor the Lord,

"The cohen shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

13 he schal offre the lomb, where the sacrifice for synne and the brent sacrifice is wont to be offrid, that is, in the hooli place; for as for synne so and for trespas the offryng perteyneth to the preest; it is hooli of the noumbre of hooli thingis.

He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the cohen's, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.

14 And the preest schal take of the blood of sacrifice which is offrid for trespas, and schal putte on the laste part of the riyt eere `of hym which is clensid, and on the thumbis of the riyt hond and foot.

The cohen shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the cohen shall 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 big toe of his right foot.

15 And he schal putte of the sextarie of oyle in to his left hond,

The cohen shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.

16 and he schal dippe the riyt fyngur therynne, and schal sprynge seuensithis bifor the Lord.

The cohen shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.

17 Sotheli he schal schede that that is residue of the oile in the left hond, on the laste part of the riyt eere `of hym which is clensid, and on the thombis of the riyt hond and foot, and on the blood which is sched for trespas,

The cohen shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand 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 big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.

18 and on the heed `of hym.

The rest of the oil that is in the cohen's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the cohen shall make atonement for him before the LORD.

19 And the preest schal preye for hym bifor the Lord, and schal make sacrifice for synne; thanne he schal offre brent sacrifice,

"The cohen shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;

20 and schal putte it in the auter with hise fletynge sacrifices, and the man schal be clensid riytfuli.

and the cohen shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The cohen shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

21 That if he is pore, and his hoond may not fynde tho thingis that ben seid, he schal take for trespas a lomb to offryng, that the preest preie for him, and the tenthe part of wheete flour spreynt togidire with oile in to sacrifice, and a sextarie of oile,

"If he is poor, and can't afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

22 and twei turtlis, ethir twei `briddis of culueris, of whiche oon be for synne, and the tothir in to brent sacrifice;

and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

23 and he schal offre tho in the eiytthe dai of his clensyng to the preest, at the dore of tabernacle of witnessyng bifor the Lord.

"On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the cohen, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the LORD.

24 And the preest schal take the lomb for trespas, and the sextarie of oile, and schal reise togidere;

The cohen shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the cohen shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

25 and whanne the lomb is offrid, he schal putte of the blood therof on the laste part of the riyt eere `of hym that is clensid, and on the thumbis of his riyt hond and foot.

He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The cohen shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and 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 big toe of his right foot.

26 Sotheli the preest putte the part of oile in to his left hond,

The cohen shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;

27 in which he schal dippe the fyngur of the riyt hond, and schal sprynge seuensithes ayens the Lord;

and the cohen shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD.

28 and the preest schal touche the laste part of the riyt eere `of hym that is clensid, and the thombe of the riyt hond and foot, in the place of blood which is sched out for trespas.

Then the cohen shall put some of the oil that is in his hand 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 big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.

29 Sotheli he schal putte the tother part of oile, which is in the left hond, on the `heed of the man clensid, that he plese the Lord for hym.

The rest of the oil that is in the cohen's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.

30 And he schal offre a turtle, ethir a culuer brid,

He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford,

31 oon for trespas, and the tothir in to brent sacrifice, with her fletynge offryngis.

the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The cohen shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD."

32 This is the sacrifice of a leprouse man, that may not haue alle thingis in to the clensyng of hym silf.

This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.

33 And the Lord spak to Moises and Aaron, and seide,

The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

34 Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond of Canaan, which lond Y schal yyue to you in to possessioun, if the wounde of lepre is in the housis,

"When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

35 he schal go, whos the hous is, `and schal telle to the preest, and schal seie, It semeth to me, that as a wound of lepre is in myn hous.

then he who owns the house shall come and tell the cohen, saying, 'There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.'

36 And the preest schal comaunde, `that thei bere out of the hous alle thingis bifore that he entre in to it, `and me se where it be lepre, lest alle thingis that ben in the hows, be maad vnclene; and the preest schal entre aftirward, that he se the lepre of the hows.

The cohen shall command that they empty the house, before the cohen goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the cohen shall go in to inspect the house.

37 And whanne he seeth in the wallis therof as litle valeis `foule bi palenesse, ethir bi reednesse, and lowere than the tother hiyere part,

He shall examine the plague; and look, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;

38 he schal go out at the dore of the hows, and anoon he schal close it bi seuene daies.

then the cohen shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

39 And he schal turne ayen in the seuenthe day, and schal se it; if he fyndith that the lepre encreesside,

The cohen shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,

40 he schal comaunde that the stoonys be cast out, in whyche the lepre is, and that tho stonys be cast out of the citee in an vncleene place.

then the cohen shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:

41 Sotheli he schal comaunde that thilke hows be rasid with ynne bi cumpas, and that the dust of the rasyng be spreynt without the citee, in an vnclene place,

and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.

42 and that othere stoonys be put ayen for these, that ben takun awey, and that the hows be daubid with othir morter.

They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

43 But if aftir that the stoonus ben takun awey, and the dust is borun out,

"If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;

44 and othere erthe is daubid, the preest entrith, and seeth the lepre turned ayen, and the wallis spreynt with spottis, the lepre is stidfastly dwellynge, and the hows is vnclene;

then the cohen shall come in and look; and look, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.

45 which hows thei schulen destrye anoon, and thei schulen caste out of the citee, in an vnclene place, the stoonys therof, and the trees, and al the dust.

And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house's mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

46 He that entrith in to the hous, whanne it is schit, schal be vnclene `til to euentid,

"Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

47 and he that slepith and etith ony thing therynne, schal waische hise clothis.

He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 That if the preest entrith, and seeth that the lepre encreesside not in the hows, aftir that it was daubid the secounde tyme, he schal clense it; for heelthe is yoldun.

"If the cohen shall come in, and examine it, and look, the plague hasn't spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the cohen shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

49 And in the clensyng therof he schal take twey sparewis, and `a tre of cedre, and `a reed threed, and isope.

To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

50 And whanne o sparewe is offrid in a vessel of erthe, on quyk watris,

He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

51 he schal take the `tre of cedre, and ysope, and reed threed, and the quyk sparewe, and he schal dippe alle thingis in the blood of the sparewe offrid, and in lyuynge watris;

He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

52 and he schal sprynge the hows seuen sithis; and he schal clense it as wel in the blood of the sparewe as in lyuynge watris, and in the quyk sparewe, and in the `tre of cedre, and in ysope, and `reed threed.

He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

53 And whanne he hath left the sparewe to fle in to the feeld frely, he schal preye for the hows, and it schal be clensid riytfuli.

but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean."

54 This is the lawe of al lepre,

This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,

55 and of smytyng, of lepre of clothis, and of housis,

and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,

56 of syngne of wounde, and of litle whelkis brekynge out, of spotte schynynge, and in colours chaungid in to dyuerse spices,

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

57 that it may be wist, what is cleene, ether uncleene.

to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
