Beginning
14 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “This is the Law of the Leper on the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the Priest.
3 “And the Priest shall go out of the camp. And the Priest shall examine him. And if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
4 “then the Priest shall command to take for the one who is cleansed: two sparrows (alive and clean) and cedarwood and a scarlet lace and hyssop.
5 “And the Priest shall command to have one of the birds killed, over pure water, in an earthen vessel.
6 “Afterward, he shall take the live sparrow — with the cedarwood and the scarlet lace and the hyssop — and shall dip them and the living sparrow in the blood of the slain sparrow, over the pure water.
7 “And seven times he shall sprinkle upon him who must be cleansed of his leprosy, and cleanse him. And he shall release the live sparrow into the open field.
8 “Then he who shall be cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and wash himself in water, so he shall be clean. After that, he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent for seven days.
9 “So, on the seventh day, he shall shave off all his hair, his head and his beard and his eyebrows. All his hair shall be shaved. And he shall wash his clothes and shall wash his flesh in water. So he shall be clean.
10 “Then, on the eighth day, he shall take two male lambs (without blemish) and a ewe lamb of a year old (without blemish) and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with oil (for a Meat Offering) and a pint of oil.
11 “And the Priest who makes him clean shall bring the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 “Then the Priest shall take one lamb and offer him for a Trespass Offering, and the pint of oil, and shake them to and fro before the LORD.
13 “And he shall kill the lamb in the place where the Sin Offering and the Burnt Offering are killed: in the Holy Place. For as the Sin Offering is the Priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is Most Holy.
14 “So, the Priest shall take of the blood of the Trespass Offering and put it upon the lobe of the right ear of him who shall be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
15 “The Priest shall also take from the pint of oil, and pour it into the palm of his left hand.
16 “And the Priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and sprinkle some of the oil with his finger, seven times, before the LORD.
17 “And the Priest shall put the rest of the oil that is in his hand upon the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, as was the blood of the Trespass Offering.
18 “But the Priest shall pour the remaining oil that is in his hand upon the head of him who is to be cleansed. So the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
19 “And the Priest shall offer the Burnt Offering and make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed of his uncleanness. Then afterward, he shall kill the Burnt Offering.
20 “So, the Priest shall offer the Burnt Offering and the meat offering upon the Altar. And the Priest shall make an atonement for him. So he shall be clean.
21 “But if he is poor and not able, then he shall bring one lamb for a Trespass Offering (to be shaken) for his reconciliation, and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, for a Meat Offering, with a pint of oil.
22 “Also, he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons (as he is able), one of which shall be a Sin Offering, and the other a Burnt Offering.
23 “And on the eighth day, he shall bring them to the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for his cleansing before the LORD.
24 “Then the Priest shall take the lamb of the Trespass Offering, and the pint of oil, and the Priest shall shake them to and fro before the LORD.
25 “And he shall kill the lamb of the Trespass Offering. And the Priest shall take from the blood of the Trespass Offering and put it upon the lobe of his right ear that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
26 “Also, the Priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand.
27 “So, with his right finger, the Priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left hand, seven times before the LORD.
28 “Then the Priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand upon the lobe of the right ear of him who 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 “But the rest of the oil that is in the Priest’s hand, he shall put upon the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
30 “Also, he shall present one of the turtledoves, or one of the young pigeons, as he is able.
31 “Such, I say, as he is able (the one for a Sin Offering and the other for a Burnt Offering), with the Meat Offering. So, the Priest shall make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD.
32 “This is the Law of him who has the plague of leprosy; who is not able, in his cleansing, to offer the whole.”
33 The LORD also spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
34 “When you have come to the land of Canaan (which I give you in possession), if I send the plague of leprosy to a house in the land of your possession,
35 “then he who owns the house shall come and tell the Priest, saying, ‘I think there is some plague in the house.’
36 “Then the Priest shall command them to empty the house before the Priest goes into it, to see the plague, so that all that is in the house is not made unclean. And then shall the Priest go in to see the house.
37 “And he shall examine the plague, to see if the plague is in the walls of the house, and if there are deep spots, greenish or reddish, which seem to be lower than the wall.
38 “Then the Priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and shall quarantine the house for seven days.
39 “So, the Priest shall come again on the seventh day. And if he sees that the plague has increased in the walls of the house,
40 “then the Priest shall command them to take away the stones in which the plague is. And they shall cast them into a foul place outside the city.
41 “Also, he shall have the house scraped inside, all around. And the dust that they have scraped off shall be poured outside the city in an unclean place.
42 “And they shall take other stones and put them in the places of those stones. And they shall take other mortar with which to plaster the house.
43 “But if the plague comes again and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped and plastered the house,
44 “then the Priest shall come and see. And if the plague grows in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house. It is unclean.
45 “And he shall tear down the house, with the stones of it, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them out of the city to an unclean place.
46 “Moreover, he who goes into the house while it is quarantined, he shall be unclean until the evening.
47 “He, also, who sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes. He, likewise, who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 “But if the Priest shall come and see that the plague has spread no further in the house, after the house is plastered, the Priest shall pronounce the house clean. For the plague is healed.
49 “Then he shall take two sparrows, cedarwood, scarlet and hyssop, to purify the house.
50 “And he shall kill one sparrow, over pure water, in an earthen vessel.
51 “And he shall take the cedarwood and the hyssop and the scarlet with the live sparrow and dip them in the blood of the slain Sparrow, and in the pure water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52 “So shall he cleanse the house with the blood of the sparrow, and with the pure water, and with the live sparrow, and with the cedarwood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.
53 “Afterward, he shall release the live sparrow out of the town into the broad fields. So shall he make atonement for the house. And it shall be clean.
54 “This is the Law for every plague of leprosy and black spot,
55 “and of the leprosy of the garment, and of the house,
56 “and of the swelling, and of the scab, and of the white spot.
57 “This is the Law of the Leprosy, to teach when a thing is unclean and when it is clean.”
15 Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever has a discharge from his flesh is unclean because of his discharge.
3 ‘And this shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: either his flesh runs with his discharge or he has a blockage from his issue. This is his uncleanness.
4 ‘Every bed upon which he lies that has the issue shall be unclean. And everything upon which he sits shall be unclean.
5 ‘Also, whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
6 ‘And he who sits on anything upon which he sat who has the issue shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
7 ‘Also, he who touches the flesh of him who has the issue shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
8 ‘If he who has the issue also spits upon him who is clean, he shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
9 ‘And whatever saddle he rides upon that has the issue shall be unclean.
10 ‘And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. And he who bears those things shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
11 ‘Likewise, whomever he touches who has the issue (and has not washed his hands in water) shall wash his clothes and wash himself in water and shall be unclean until the evening.
12 ‘And the vessel of earth that he touches, which has the issue, shall be broken. And every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 ‘But if he who has an issue is cleansed of his issue, then he shall count seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in pure water. So shall he be clean.
14 ‘Then on the eighth day, he shall take to him two turtledoves (or two young pigeons) and come before the LORD, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall give them to the Priest.
15 ‘And the Priest shall make a Sin Offering of one of them, and of the other a Burnt Offering. So, the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
16 ‘Also, if any man’s issue of seed departs from him, he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.
17 ‘And every garment, and every skin whereupon issue of seed shall be, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.
18 ‘If he who has an issue of seed lies with a woman, they shall both wash themselves with water, and be unclean until the evening.
19 ‘Also, when a woman shall have a discharge, and her issue in her flesh shall be blood, she shall be isolated for seven days. And whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
20 ‘And whatever she lies upon in her impurity shall be unclean. And everything that she sits upon shall be unclean.
21 ‘Also, whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and wash himself with water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
22 ‘And whoever touches anything that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and shall be unclean until the evening,
23 ‘so that whether he touches her bed or anything upon which she sat, he shall be unclean until the evening.
24 ‘And if a man lies with her, and her impurity touches him, he shall be unclean for seven days. And all the whole bed upon which he lies shall be unclean.
25 ‘Also, when a woman’s discharge of blood runs for a long time in addition to the time of her impurity (that is, when she has a discharge longer than her impurity), all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness she shall be unclean, as in the time of her impurity.
26 ‘Every bed upon which she lies (as long as her discharge lasts) shall be to her as the bed of her impurity. And whatever she sits upon shall be unclean, as her uncleanness when she is isolated.
27 ‘And whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
28 ‘But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count seven days. And afterward, she shall be clean.
29 ‘And on the eighth day, she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
30 ‘And the Priest shall make a Sin Offering of the one, and of the other a Burnt Offering. And the Priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD, for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 ‘Thus shall you separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so that they do not die in their uncleanness if they defile My Tabernacle that is among them.
32 ‘This is the Law of him who has a discharge, and of him from whom goes a discharge of seed by which he is defiled,
33 ‘and of she who is ill from her impurity, and of he who has a running discharge, whether it be man or woman, and of he who lies with her who is unclean.’”
