Cleansing From Defiling Skin Diseases

14 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “These are the regulations for any diseased person at the time of their ceremonial cleansing, when they are brought to the priest:(A) 3 The priest is to go outside the camp and examine them.(B) If they have been healed of their defiling skin disease,[a](C) 4 the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop(D) be brought for the person to be cleansed.(E) 5 Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot.(F) 6 He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water.(G) 7 Seven times(H) he shall sprinkle(I) the one to be cleansed of the defiling disease, and then pronounce them clean. After that, he is to release the live bird in the open fields.(J)

8 “The person to be cleansed must wash their clothes,(K) shave off all their hair and bathe with water;(L) then they will be ceremonially clean.(M) After this they may come into the camp,(N) but they must stay outside their tent for seven days. 9 On the seventh day(O) they must shave off all their hair;(P) they must shave their head, their beard, their eyebrows and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes and bathe themselves with water, and they will be clean.(Q)

10 “On the eighth day(R) they must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb(S) a year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah[b](T) of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering,(U) and one log[c] of oil.(V) 11 The priest who pronounces them clean shall present(W) both the one to be cleansed and their offerings before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(X)

12 “Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering,(Y) along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(Z) 13 He is to slaughter the lamb in the sanctuary area(AA) where the sin offering[d] and the burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest;(AB) it is most holy. 14 The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.(AC) 15 The priest shall then take some of the log of oil, pour it in the palm of his own left hand,(AD) 16 dip his right forefinger into the oil in his palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of it before the Lord seven times.(AE) 17 The priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.(AF) 18 The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed(AG) and make atonement for them before the Lord.

19 “Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from their uncleanness.(AH) After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering 20 and offer it on the altar, together with the grain offering, and make atonement for them,(AI) and they will be clean.(AJ)

21 “If, however, they are poor(AK) and cannot afford these,(AL) they must take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for them, together with a tenth of an ephah[e] of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of oil, 22 and two doves or two young pigeons,(AM) such as they can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.(AN)

23 “On the eighth day they must bring them for their cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(AO) before the Lord.(AP) 24 The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering,(AQ) together with the log of oil,(AR) and wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(AS) 25 He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.(AT) 26 The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,(AU) 27 and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before the Lord. 28 Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering—on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. 29 The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the Lord.(AV) 30 Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,(AW) 31 one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering,(AX) together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.(AY)”

32 These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease(AZ) and who cannot afford the regular offerings(BA) for their cleansing.

Cleansing From Defiling Molds

33 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 34 “When you enter the land of Canaan,(BB) which I am giving you as your possession,(BC) and I put a spreading mold in a house in that land, 35 the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’ 36 The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house. 37 He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish(BD) depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall, 38 the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.(BE) 39 On the seventh day(BF) the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls, 40 he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.(BG) 41 He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town. 42 Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.

43 “If the defiling mold reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered, 44 the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mold has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mold; the house is unclean.(BH) 45 It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place.

46 “Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening.(BI) 47 Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes.(BJ)

48 “But if the priest comes to examine it and the mold has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean,(BK) because the defiling mold is gone. 49 To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop.(BL) 50 He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.(BM) 51 Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop,(BN) the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.(BO) 52 He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. 53 Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields(BP) outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.(BQ)”

54 These are the regulations for any defiling skin disease,(BR) for a sore, 55 for defiling molds(BS) in fabric or in a house, 56 and for a swelling, a rash or a shiny spot,(BT) 57 to determine when something is clean or unclean.

These are the regulations for defiling skin diseases and defiling molds.(BU)

Левит 14
Ukrainian Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Очищення від корости

14 І мовив Господь Мойсею: 2 «Ось який буде закон для хворого на коросту на час його очищення. Його приведуть до священика. 3 Священик мусить вийти з табору, і якщо він подивиться й побачить, що хворий на коросту зцілився, 4 то мусить наказати принести два диких чистих птахи, деревини кедру, червону стрічку та іссоп для того, хто має очиститися. 5 І мусить священик наказати зарізати одного птаха в глиняній посудині над протічною водою. 6 І візьме він живого птаха, кедрового дерева, червону стрічку, вмочить у кров птаха, якого зарізали над протічною водою, 7 і покропить сім разів того, хто очищається від корости. І оголосить тоді його чистим, і пустить живого птаха понад полем.

8 І випере тоді той, хто очищається, своє вбрання й поголить все волосся на собі, й викупається в воді. І тоді він стане чистим. І лише після цього він може ввійти до табору, але нехай не входить до свого намету протягом семи днів. 9 На сьомий день йому слід поголити все волосся: голову, бороду, брови. Він мусить поголити геть усе волосся на собі. І мусить випрати своє вбрання й викупатися у воді. І тоді він стане чистим.

10 Восьмого дня йому слід узяти двох баранів без вади й одну однолітню вівцю без вади. І ще шість кварт[a] найкращого борошна, змішаного з олією, для хлібної жертви і один лоґ[b] оливи. 11 І мусить священик, який очищає, привести чоловіка з цими пожертвами до Господа перед входом до намету зібрання. 12 І мусить тоді священик узяти одного з баранів і віддати його як жертву відшкодування та лоґ оливи й принести це в жертву колихання перед Господом. 13 І мусить він забити барана на тому місці, де забивають жертви очищення та всеспалення у Святому місці, бо жертва відшкодування, як і жертва очищення, належить священику. Це найсвятіше.

14 І візьме священик трохи крові жертви за провину, і помастить мочку правого вуха того, хто очищається, великий палець його правиці й великий палець правої ноги. 15 І візьме тоді священик з лоґа трохи оливи і виллє її собі на ліву долоню. 16 Тоді священик вмочить свого пальця правої руки в оливу, що на лівій долоні, й покропить пальцем оливу сім разів перед Господом. 17 Рештою оливи, що на долоні, священик помастить мочку того, хто очищається, його правий палець правиці й великий палець правої ноги, поверх крові жертви за провину. 18 Оливою, що залишилася на долоні священика, він намастить голову того, хто очищається. І таким чином священик очистить його перед Господом.

19 Тоді священик принесе жертву очищення й очистить того, хто очищається, від його нечистоти. І заб’ють після цього жертву всеспалення. 20 І покладе священик жертву всеспалення й хлібну жертву на вівтар, і очистить його священик, і тоді він стане чистим.

21 Але якщо той чоловік бідний і не може дати багато, тоді нехай візьме одного барана в жертву відшкодування. Це буде жертва колихання для його очищення. І ще дві кварти[c] найкращого борошна, змішаного з оливою для хлібної жертви і лоґ оливи. 22 А ще дві горлиці або два молодих голуби, на яких він спроможний. Одне буде для жертви очищення, а друге—для жертви спалення.

23 На восьмий день він мусить принести їх священикові для свого очищення до входу до намету зібрання перед Господом. 24 І візьме тоді священик барана для жертви відшкодування та лоґ оливи, і принесе їх як жертву колихання перед Господом. 25 І заріжуть тоді барана в жертву за провину, і священик візьме трохи крові жертви відшкодування, помастить мочку правого вуха того, хто очищається, великий палець його правиці й великий палець його правої ноги. 26 І наллє священик трохи оливи собі на ліву долоню. 27 І покропить він пальцем своєї правиці оливою, що на його долоні, сім разів перед Господом. 28 І візьме тоді священик трохи оливи зі своєї долоні й помастить мочку правого вуха того, хто очищається, великий палець його правиці й великий палець його правої ноги там, де помастив він кров’ю жертви відшкодування. 29 Рештою оливи, що на його долоні, священик помастить голову того, хто очищається, щоб очистити його перед Господом.

30 І принесе він одну з горлиць або одного з молодих голубів, що буде під рукою: 31 одного в жертву очищення, а одного в жертву всеспалення разом із хлібною жертвою. І так священик очистить його від гріха перед Господом. 32 Це закон для того, в кого короста, і він не може давати постійні пожертви очищення».

Проказа на оселі

33 І мовив Господь Мойсею та Аарону: 34 «Як увійдете до землі Ханаанської, що даю Я вам у володіння, і наведу Я плісняву на дім, що у володінні вашому, 35 то власник того дому мусить прийти до священика і сказати: „Я помітив щось на зразок плісняви в своєму домі”.

36 І накаже тоді священик, щоб винесли все з дому, перш ніж він прийде оглянути плісняву, щоб усе в домі не стало нечистим. Тоді священик піде оглянути дім. 37 І якщо, оглядаючи плісняву, священик побачить, що на стінах вона виглядає, як руді чи зелені плями, немов заглибини в стіні, 38 то священик мусить вийти з дому й замкнути дім на сім днів.

39 На сьомий день священик мусить знову прийти й оглянути дім. Якщо пліснява розійшлася по стінах дому, 40 то священик мусить наказати, щоб повиймали те каміння з пліснявою й повикидали його геть за місто в нечисте місце. 41 І нехай тоді обдеруть увесь дім зсередини й повикидають глину, що поздирали, за місто в нечисте місце. 42 І нехай візьмуть нове каміння й повкладають натомість, а свіжою глиною пообмазують дім.

43 Якщо пліснява повернеться й зацвіте по хаті після того, як повиймали каміння, поздирали глину й натомість помастили свіжою, 44 то священик мусить прийти й оглянути. Якщо пліснява розійшлася по оселі, то це зараза, що руйнує дім. Він нечистий. 45 Цей дім слід розламати, а каміння, дерево і всю глину повикидати поза табором в нечисте місце. 46 І кожен, хто ввійде в оселю протягом того часу, що вона була замкнена, буде нечистий до вечора. 47 Хто спав у ній, мусить випрати свій одяг. І хто їв у домі, мусить випрати свій одяг.

48 Якщо священик прийде й побачить, що пліснява не розійшлася по оселі після того, як помазали її знову, то священик оголосить її чистою, бо пліснява пройшла.

49 І щоб очистити дім, він мусить узяти два птахи, деревини кедра, червону стрічку й іссоп. 50 Він мусить зарізати одного птаха в глиняній посудині над протічною водою. 51 А тоді мусить він узяти деревину кедра, іссопу, червону стрічку й живого птаха і занурити в кров зарізаного птаха і в протічну воду. А потім покропити оселю сім разів. 52 І так очистить він дім пташиною кров’ю, протічною водою, живим птахом кедровим деревом, іссопом і червоною стрічкою. 53 І відпустить він тоді живого птаха за містом у чисте поле. І так він очистить дім, і дім буде чистий.

54 Це закон про всіляку болячку на тілі, коросту, 55 про плісняву на одязі і в оселі, 56 запалення, лишай чи світлі плями на тілі, 57 що вчить, коли що є нечисте, а коли чисте. Це закон про коросту та плісняву».

La purificación de los leprosos

14 El Señor habló a Moisés, diciendo: 2 Esta será la ley del leproso en los días de su purificación. Será llevado al sacerdote(A), 3 y el sacerdote saldrá fuera del campamento(B). El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la infección[a] ha sido sanada en el leproso, 4 el sacerdote mandará tomar dos avecillas vivas y limpias, madera de cedro, un cordón[b] escarlata e hisopo para el que ha de ser purificado(C). 5 Después el sacerdote mandará degollar una de las avecillas en una vasija de barro sobre agua corriente[c]. 6 En cuanto a la avecilla viva, la tomará junto con la madera de cedro(D), el cordón escarlata y el hisopo(E), y los mojará junto con la avecilla viva en la sangre del ave muerta sobre el agua corriente. 7 Después rociará siete veces al que ha de ser purificado de la lepra, lo declarará limpio(F), y soltará al ave viva en campo abierto. 8 Luego el que ha de ser purificado lavará su ropa, se rasurará todo el cabello(G), se bañará en agua y quedará limpio(H). Después podrá entrar al campamento, pero por siete días permanecerá fuera de su tienda(I). 9 Y sucederá que en el séptimo día se rasurará todo el cabello: se rasurará la cabeza, la barba y las cejas; todo su cabello. Entonces lavará su ropa y se lavará el cuerpo[d] en agua, y quedará limpio(J).

10 En el octavo día tomará dos corderos sin defecto, una cordera de un año sin defecto, tres décimas de un efa[e] de flor de harina mezclada con aceite como ofrenda de cereal y un log[f] de aceite(K); 11 y el sacerdote que lo declare limpio, presentará delante del Señor al hombre que ha de ser purificado, con las ofrendas[g], a la entrada de la tienda de reunión. 12 Entonces el sacerdote tomará uno de los corderos[h] y lo traerá como ofrenda por la culpa(L), con el log de aceite(M), y los presentará[i] como ofrenda mecida delante del Señor(N). 13 Enseguida degollará el cordero en el lugar donde degüellan la ofrenda por el pecado y el holocausto(O), en el lugar del santuario, porque la ofrenda por la culpa, lo mismo que la ofrenda por el pecado, pertenece al sacerdote; es cosa santísima(P). 14 Entonces el sacerdote tomará de la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa(Q), y la pondrá el sacerdote sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que ha de ser purificado, sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho(R). 15 El sacerdote tomará también del log de aceite(S), y lo derramará en la palma de su mano izquierda; 16 después el sacerdote mojará el dedo de su mano derecha en el aceite que está en la palma de su mano izquierda, y con el dedo rociará del aceite siete veces delante del Señor. 17 Y de lo que quede del aceite que está en su mano[j], el sacerdote pondrá un poco sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que se ha de purificar, sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho, encima de la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa; 18 y lo que quede del aceite que está en la mano[k] del sacerdote, lo pondrá sobre la cabeza del que ha de ser purificado. Así el sacerdote hará expiación por él delante del Señor(T). 19 Después el sacerdote ofrecerá el sacrificio por el pecado(U) y hará expiación por el que se ha de purificar de su inmundicia. Y después, degollará el holocausto. 20 Y el sacerdote ofrecerá sobre el altar el holocausto y la ofrenda de cereal. Así hará expiación el sacerdote por él, y quedará limpio(V).

21 Pero si es pobre y no tiene suficientes recursos[l](W), entonces tomará un cordero como ofrenda por la culpa, como ofrenda mecida, a fin de hacer expiación por él(X), y una décima de un efa[m] de flor de harina mezclada con aceite para ofrenda de cereal, y un log de aceite(Y), 22 y dos tórtolas o dos pichones, según sus recursos[n], uno será como ofrenda por el pecado(Z) y el otro para holocausto(AA). 23 Al octavo día los llevará al sacerdote para ofrecerlos por su purificación, a la entrada de la tienda de reunión(AB), delante del Señor. 24 Y el sacerdote tomará el cordero de la ofrenda por la culpa y el log de aceite(AC), y los[o] presentará[p] como ofrenda mecida delante del Señor. 25 Luego degollará el cordero de la ofrenda por la culpa, y el sacerdote tomará de la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa y la pondrá sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que ha de ser purificado, sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho(AD). 26 El sacerdote derramará también del aceite sobre la palma de su mano izquierda; 27 y con el dedo de su mano derecha rociará el sacerdote un poco del aceite que está en la palma de su mano izquierda siete veces delante del Señor. 28 Después el sacerdote pondrá del aceite que está en su mano[q] sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que ha de ser purificado, sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho, en el lugar de la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa. 29 Y el resto del aceite que está en la mano[r] del sacerdote lo pondrá en la cabeza del que ha de ser purificado, a fin de hacer expiación por él delante del Señor. 30 Entonces ofrecerá una de las tórtolas o de los pichones, según sus recursos[s]. 31 Ofrecerá lo que pueda[t], uno como ofrenda por el pecado, y el otro como holocausto(AE), junto con la ofrenda de cereal. Así el sacerdote hará expiación delante del Señor en favor del que ha de ser purificado. 32 Esta es la ley para el que tenga infección de lepra, cuyos recursos para su purificación sean limitados[u].

Cuarentena de casas infectadas

33 Habló también el Señor a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo: 34 Cuando entréis en la tierra de Canaán(AF), que os doy en posesión, y ponga yo una marca de lepra sobre una casa en la tierra de vuestra posesión, 35 el dueño de la casa irá y le avisará al sacerdote[v]: «Algo así como la marca de la lepra ha aparecido en mi casa(AG)». 36 El sacerdote entonces ordenará que desocupen la casa antes de que él[w] entre para examinar la marca, a fin de que nada se contamine en la casa; y después el sacerdote entrará y examinará la casa. 37 Examinará la marca, y si la marca sobre las paredes de la casa tiene depresiones verdosas o rojizas, y parece más profunda que la superficie[x], 38 el sacerdote saldrá[y] a la puerta de la casa, y cerrará la casa por siete días. 39 Y al séptimo día el sacerdote regresará y la inspeccionará[z]. Si la marca se ha extendido en las paredes de la casa, 40 el sacerdote les ordenará quitar las piedras que tienen la marca y arrojarlas a un lugar inmundo fuera de la ciudad. 41 Y hará raspar toda la casa por dentro, y arrojarán fuera de la ciudad, a un lugar inmundo, el polvo[aa] que raspen. 42 Luego tomarán otras piedras y reemplazarán aquellas[ab] piedras; y él tomará otra mezcla y volverá a recubrir la casa.

43 Sin embargo, si la marca vuelve a aparecer en la casa después de que él haya quitado las piedras y raspado la casa, y después de haberla recubierto con mezcla, 44 el sacerdote entrará y la examinará[ac]. Si ve que la marca se ha extendido en la casa, será una lepra maligna en la casa; es inmunda(AH). 45 Derribará, pues, la casa, sus piedras, sus maderas y todo el emplaste de la casa, y los llevará fuera de la ciudad a un lugar inmundo(AI). 46 Además, cualquiera que entre a la casa durante el tiempo que él la cerró, quedará inmundo hasta el atardecer(AJ). 47 También, el que duerma en la casa lavará sus ropas, y el que coma en la casa lavará sus ropas.

48 Pero si el sacerdote entra y la examina[ad], y la marca no se ha extendido en la casa después de que la casa fue recubierta, el sacerdote declarará la casa limpia, porque la marca no ha vuelto a aparecer[ae]. 49 Entonces, para purificar la casa, tomará dos avecillas, madera de cedro, un cordón escarlata e hisopo(AK), 50 y degollará una de las avecillas[af] en una vasija de barro sobre agua corriente. 51 Después tomará la madera de cedro, el hisopo(AL) y el cordón escarlata, junto con la avecilla viva, y los mojará en la sangre de la avecilla muerta[ag] y en el agua corriente, y rociará la casa siete veces. 52 Así purificará la casa con la sangre de la avecilla y con el agua corriente, junto con la avecilla viva, con la madera de cedro, con el hisopo y con el cordón escarlata. 53 Sin embargo, a la avecilla viva la dejará ir en libertad, fuera de la ciudad, hacia el campo abierto. Así hará expiación por la casa, y quedará purificada.

54 Esta es la ley acerca de toda infección[ah] de lepra, o de tiña(AM); 55 y para la ropa o la casa con lepra(AN), 56 para una hinchazón, una erupción o una mancha blanca lustrosa(AO), 57 para enseñar cuándo son inmundas[ai] y cuándo son limpias[aj]. Esta es la ley sobre la lepra.

Leviticus 14
King James Version

14 And the Lord 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 birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed 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 the living bird loose into the open field.

8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.

9 But 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, also he shall wash 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 of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

11 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:

13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:

14 And the priest shall take some 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 some 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 the Lord:

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 remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.

19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:

20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;

22 And two turtledoves, 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 he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord.

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 the Lord:

25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some 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 the Lord:

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 an atonement for him before the Lord.

30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can 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 meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.

32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

33 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

34 When ye be 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 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it 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 strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are 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 away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall 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 dust 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 morter, and shall plaister the house.

43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

44 Then the priest shall come 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 morter 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 upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: 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 the 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 fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of 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.

The Ritual for Cleansing Healed Lepers(A)

14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “This shall be the law of the [a]leper for the day of his cleansing: He (B)shall be brought to the priest. 3 And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall examine him; and indeed, if the [b]leprosy is healed in the leper, 4 then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, (C)cedar wood, (D)scarlet, and (E)hyssop. 5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 7 And he shall (F)sprinkle it (G)seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field. 8 He who is to be cleansed (H)shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and (I)wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and (J)shall stay outside his tent seven days. 9 But on the (K)seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean.

10 “And on the eighth day (L)he shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as (M)a grain offering, and one log of oil. 11 Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and (N)offer it as a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and (O)wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 13 Then he shall kill the lamb (P)in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for (Q)as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. (R)It is most holy. 14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it (S)on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. 16 Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall (T)sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord. 17 And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put some on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering. 18 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed. (U)So the priest shall make [c]atonement for him before the Lord.

19 “Then the priest shall offer (V)the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering. 20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be (W)clean.

21 “But (X)if he is poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb as a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, [d]one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, a log of oil, 22 (Y)and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. 23 (Z)He shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, before the Lord. 24 (AA)And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25 Then he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, (AB)and the priest 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, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 26 And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand. 27 Then the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord. 28 And the priest 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, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering. 29 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’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 shall offer one of (AC)the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he can afford— 31 such as he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the Lord. 32 This is the law for one who had a leprous sore, who cannot afford (AD)the usual cleansing.”

The Law Concerning Leprous Houses

33 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 34 (AE)“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and (AF)I put the [e]leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession, 35 and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is (AG)some plague in the house,’ 36 then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house. 37 And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be [f]deep in the wall, 38 then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and [g]shut up the house seven days. 39 And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house, 40 then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city. 41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. 42 Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.

43 “Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered, 44 then the priest shall come and look; and indeed if the plague has spread in the house, it is (AH)an active leprosy in the house. It is unclean. 45 And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place. 46 Moreover he who goes into the house at all while it is shut up shall be [h]unclean (AI)until evening. 47 And he who lies down in the house shall (AJ)wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 “But if the priest comes in and examines it, and indeed the plague has 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 (AK)he shall take, to cleanse the house, two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop. 50 Then he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water; 51 and he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, 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 [i]cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the running water and the living bird, with the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet. 53 Then he shall let the living bird loose outside the city in the open field, and (AL)make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

54 “This is the law for any (AM)leprous sore and scale, 55 for the (AN)leprosy of a garment (AO)and of a house, 56 (AP)for a swelling and a scab and a bright spot, 57 to (AQ)teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.”
