Λευϊτικόν 14

1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

2 οὗτος ὁ νόμος τοῦ λεπροῦ ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ καθαρισθῇ καὶ προσαχθήσεται πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα

“These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.

3 καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ ἰᾶται ἡ ἁφὴ τῆς λέπρας ἀπὸ τοῦ λεπροῦ

The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been healed,

4 καὶ προστάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ λήμψονται τῷ κεκαθαρισμένῳ δύο ὀρνίθια ζῶντα καθαρὰ καὶ ξύλον κέδρινον καὶ κεκλωσμένον κόκκινον καὶ ὕσσωπον

the priest will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).

5 καὶ προστάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ σφάξουσιν τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ἓν εἰς ἀγγεῖον ὀστράκινον ἐφ’ ὕδατι ζῶντι

Then the priest will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.

6 καὶ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν λήμψεται αὐτὸ καὶ τὸ ξύλον τὸ κέδρινον καὶ τὸ κλωστὸν κόκκινον καὶ τὸν ὕσσωπον καὶ βάψει αὐτὰ καὶ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν εἰς τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ὀρνιθίου τοῦ σφαγέντος ἐφ’ ὕδατι ζῶντι

Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.

7 καὶ περιρρανεῖ ἐπὶ τὸν καθαρισθέντα ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας ἑπτάκις καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν εἰς τὸ πεδίον

Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.

8 καὶ πλυνεῖ ὁ καθαρισθεὶς τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ξυρηθήσεται αὐτοῦ πᾶσαν τὴν τρίχα καὶ λούσεται ἐν ὕδατι καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ διατρίψει ἔξω τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

“Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.

9 καὶ ἔσται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ξυρηθήσεται πᾶσαν τὴν τρίχα αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν πώγωνα καὶ τὰς ὀφρύας καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν τρίχα αὐτοῦ ξυρηθήσεται καὶ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λούσεται τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ὕδατι καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται

On the seventh day, he must again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.

10 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ λήμψεται δύο ἀμνοὺς ἐνιαυσίους ἀμώμους καὶ πρόβατον ἐνιαύσιον ἄμωμον καὶ τρία δέκατα σεμιδάλεως εἰς θυσίαν πεφυραμένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ καὶ κοτύλην ἐλαίου μίαν

“The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil.

11 καὶ στήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ καθαρίζων τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν καθαριζόμενον καὶ ταῦτα ἔναντι κυρίου ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

The priest who declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.

12 καὶ λήμψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν ἕνα καὶ προσάξει αὐτὸν τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ τὴν κοτύλην τοῦ ἐλαίου καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸ ἀφόρισμα ἔναντι κυρίου

“Then the priest must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].

13 καὶ σφάξουσιν τὸν ἀμνὸν ἐν τόπῳ οὗ σφάζουσιν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ ἔστιν γὰρ τὸ περὶ ἁμαρτίας ὥσπερ τὸ τῆς πλημμελείας ἔστιν τῷ ἱερεῖ ἅγια ἁγίων ἐστίν

Then the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.

14 καὶ λήμψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ

The priest must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.

15 καὶ λαβὼν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τῆς κοτύλης τοῦ ἐλαίου ἐπιχεεῖ ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ ἱερέως τὴν ἀριστερὰν

Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.

16 καὶ βάψει τὸν δάκτυλον τὸν δεξιὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ ὄντος ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς ἀριστερᾶς καὶ ῥανεῖ ἑπτάκις τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔναντι κυρίου

Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.

17 τὸ δὲ καταλειφθὲν ἔλαιον τὸ ὂν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας

Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.

18 τὸ δὲ καταλειφθὲν ἔλαιον τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ ἱερέως ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ καθαρισθέντος καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔναντι κυρίου

The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.

19 καὶ ποιήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τοῦ ἀκαθάρτου τοῦ καθαριζομένου ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο σφάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα

“Then the priest must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].

20 καὶ ἀνοίσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ τὴν θυσίαν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ καθαρισθήσεται

He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.

21 ἐὰν δὲ πένηται καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ μὴ εὑρίσκῃ λήμψεται ἀμνὸν ἕνα εἰς ὃ ἐπλημμέλησεν εἰς ἀφαίρεμα ὥστε ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ δέκατον σεμιδάλεως πεφυραμένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ εἰς θυσίαν καὶ κοτύλην ἐλαίου μίαν

“But if the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil,

22 καὶ δύο τρυγόνας ἢ δύο νεοσσοὺς περιστερῶν ὅσα εὗρεν ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται ἡ μία περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἡ μία εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα

and two doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].

23 καὶ προσοίσει αὐτὰ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ εἰς τὸ καθαρίσαι αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἔναντι κυρίου

“On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to Yahweh.

24 καὶ λαβὼν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν ἀμνὸν τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ τὴν κοτύλην τοῦ ἐλαίου ἐπιθήσει αὐτὰ ἐπίθεμα ἔναντι κυρίου

The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.

25 καὶ σφάξει τὸν ἀμνὸν τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ λήμψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ ἐπιθήσει ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ

Then the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

26 καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου ἐπιχεεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ ἱερέως τὴν ἀριστεράν

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

27 καὶ ῥανεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τῷ δακτύλῳ τῷ δεξιῷ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἀριστερᾷ ἑπτάκις ἔναντι κυρίου

and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.

28 καὶ ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς αὐτοῦ τοῦ δεξιοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας

He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.

29 τὸ δὲ καταλειφθὲν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τὸ ὂν ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ ἱερέως ἐπιθήσει ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ καθαρισθέντος καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔναντι κυρίου

He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.

30 καὶ ποιήσει μίαν τῶν τρυγόνων ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν νεοσσῶν τῶν περιστερῶν καθότι εὗρεν αὐτοῦ ἡ χείρ

Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.

31 τὴν μίαν περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ τὴν μίαν εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα σὺν τῇ θυσίᾳ καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τοῦ καθαριζομένου ἔναντι κυρίου

One will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.

32 οὗτος ὁ νόμος ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ ἁφὴ τῆς λέπρας καὶ τοῦ μὴ εὑρίσκοντος τῇ χειρὶ εἰς τὸν καθαρισμὸν αὐτοῦ

“Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”

33 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων λέγων

Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,

34 ὡς ἂν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων ἣν ἐγὼ δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἐν κτήσει καὶ δώσω ἁφὴν λέπρας ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις τῆς γῆς τῆς ἐγκτήτου ὑμῖν

“I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.

35 καὶ ἥξει τίνος αὐτοῦ ἡ οἰκία καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ τῷ ἱερεῖ λέγων ὥσπερ ἁφὴ ἑώραταί μου ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ

If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’

36 καὶ προστάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀποσκευάσαι τὴν οἰκίαν πρὸ τοῦ εἰσελθόντα ἰδεῖν τὸν ἱερέα τὴν ἁφὴν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκάθαρτα γένηται ὅσα ἐὰν ᾖ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καταμαθεῖν τὴν οἰκίαν

“Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’

37 καὶ ὄψεται τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις τῆς οἰκίας κοιλάδας χλωριζούσας ἢ πυρριζούσας καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῶν ταπεινοτέρα τῶν τοίχων

[After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,

38 καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς οἰκίας καὶ ἀφοριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν οἰκίαν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.

39 καὶ ἐπανήξει ὁ ἱερεὺς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ὄψεται τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις τῆς οἰκίας

On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,

40 καὶ προστάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἐξελοῦσιν τοὺς λίθους ἐν οἷς ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή καὶ ἐκβαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς τόπον ἀκάθαρτον

the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.

41 καὶ ἀποξύσουσιν τὴν οἰκίαν ἔσωθεν κύκλῳ καὶ ἐκχεοῦσιν τὸν χοῦν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς τόπον ἀκάθαρτον

Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.

42 καὶ λήμψονται λίθους ἀπεξυσμένους ἑτέρους καὶ ἀντιθήσουσιν ἀντὶ τῶν λίθων καὶ χοῦν ἕτερον λήμψονται καὶ ἐξαλείψουσιν τὴν οἰκίαν

Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] the house.

43 ἐὰν δὲ ἐπέλθῃ πάλιν ἁφὴ καὶ ἀνατείλῃ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μετὰ τὸ ἐξελεῖν τοὺς λίθους καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀποξυσθῆναι τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι

“If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,

44 καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ὄψεται εἰ διακέχυται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν

the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.

45 καὶ καθελοῦσιν τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς λίθους αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα τὸν χοῦν ἐξοίσουσιν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς τόπον ἀκάθαρτον

It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.

46 καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς ἀφωρισμένη ἐστίν ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας

“Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.

47 καὶ ὁ κοιμώμενος ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ὁ ἔσθων ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας

Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.

48 ἐὰν δὲ παραγενόμενος εἰσέλθῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἴδῃ καὶ ἰδοὺ διαχύσει οὐ διαχεῖται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μετὰ τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ καθαριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν οἰκίαν ὅτι ἰάθη ἡ ἁφή

“But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.

49 καὶ λήμψεται ἀφαγνίσαι τὴν οἰκίαν δύο ὀρνίθια ζῶντα καθαρὰ καὶ ξύλον κέδρινον καὶ κεκλωσμένον κόκκινον καὶ ὕσσωπον

But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.

50 καὶ σφάξει τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ἓν εἰς σκεῦος ὀστράκινον ἐφ’ ὕδατι ζῶντι

He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.

51 καὶ λήμψεται τὸ ξύλον τὸ κέδρινον καὶ τὸ κεκλωσμένον κόκκινον καὶ τὸν ὕσσωπον καὶ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν καὶ βάψει αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ὀρνιθίου τοῦ ἐσφαγμένου ἐφ’ ὕδατι ζῶντι καὶ περιρρανεῖ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν ἑπτάκις

Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.

52 καὶ ἀφαγνιεῖ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ὀρνιθίου καὶ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι τῷ ζῶντι καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀρνιθίῳ τῷ ζῶντι καὶ ἐν τῷ ξύλῳ τῷ κεδρίνῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ ὑσσώπῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ κεκλωσμένῳ κοκκίνῳ

By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.

53 καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὸ πεδίον καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ τῆς οἰκίας καὶ καθαρὰ ἔσται

Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.

54 οὗτος ὁ νόμος κατὰ πᾶσαν ἁφὴν λέπρας καὶ θραύσματος

“Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,

55 καὶ τῆς λέπρας ἱματίου καὶ οἰκίας

for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,

56 καὶ οὐλῆς καὶ σημασίας καὶ τοῦ αὐγάζοντος

and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],

57 καὶ τοῦ ἐξηγήσασθαι ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ καθαρισθήσεται οὗτος ὁ νόμος τῆς λέπρας

to find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
