| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 This shall be the law
of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto the
priest: 3 and the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest
shall look; and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper,
4 then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two
living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 5 And the
priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over
running water. 6 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 And he
shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times,
and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird into the open
field. 8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave
off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean: and
after that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent
seven days. 9 And 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: and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh
in water, and he shall be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and
one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenth parts of an
ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of
oil. 11 And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be
cleansed, and those things, before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of
meeting. 12 And the priest shall take one of the he-lambs, and offer him
for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a
wave-offering before Jehovah: 13 and he shall kill the he-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 priest's, so is the
trespass-offering: it is most holy: 14 and the priest shall take of the
blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of
the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right
hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 15 And the priest shall
take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand;
16 and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his
left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before
Jehovah: 17 and of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the
priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and
upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot,
upon the blood of the trespass-offering: 18 and the rest of the oil that
is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be
cleansed: and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah.
19 And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him
that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall
kill the burnt-offering; 20 and the priest shall offer the burnt-offering
and the meal-offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make atonement for
him, and he shall be clean.
21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much, then he shall take one
he-lamb for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and
one tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a
meal-offering, and a log of oil; 22 and two turtle-doves, or two young
pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin-offering, and
the other a burnt-offering. 23 And on the eighth day he shall bring them
for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tent of meeting,
before Jehovah: 24 and the priest shall take the lamb of the
trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a
wave-offering before Jehovah. 25 And he shall kill the lamb of the
trespass-offering; and the priest shall take of the blood of the
trespass-offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to
be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of
his right foot. 26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of
his own left hand; 27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger
some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Jehovah:
28 and the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of
the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right
hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood
of the trespass-offering: 29 and the rest of the oil that is in the
priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to
make atonement for him before Jehovah. 30 And he shall offer one of the
turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to get, 31 even
such as he is able to get, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a
burnt-offering, with the meal-offering: and the priest shall make atonement
for him that is to be cleansed before Jehovah. 32 This is the law of him
in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to get that which
pertaineth to his cleansing.
33 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 34 When ye are
come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put
the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; 35 then
he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There
seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house. 36 And the priest
shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goeth in to see
the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward
the priest shall go in to see the house: 37 and he shall look on the
plague; and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow
streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the
wall; 38 then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the
house, and shut up the house seven days. 39 And the priest shall come
again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread
in the walls of the house; 40 then the priest shall command that they take
out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place
without the city: 41 and he shall cause the house to be scraped within
round about, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scrape off,
without the city into an unclean place: 42 and 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 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he
hath taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it
is plastered; 44 then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if
the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it
is unclean. 45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and
the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them
forth out of the city into an unclean place. 46 Moreover he that goeth
into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the
even. 47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he
that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath
not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall
pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 49 And he shall
take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50 and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running
water: 51 and 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
shall cleanse 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: 53 but he shall let go the living bird 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 law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for a scall,
55 and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house, 56 and for a
rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot; 57 to teach when it is
unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
