Leviticus 14

CHAPTER 14

Laws Regarding the Leper

1And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2This is the law of the leper. In what ever day he should have been cleansed, and shall be brought to the priest; 3that [³shall come forth ¹the ²priest] outside the camp. And [³shall look ¹the ²priest], and behold, [³has been healed ¹if the ²infection] of the leprosy from the leper, 4then [³shall assign ¹the ²priest], and they shall take for the one being cleansed two [³small birds ²living ¹clean], and wood of cedar, and twined scarlet, and hyssop. 5And [³shall assign ¹the ²priest], and they shall slay the [²small bird   ¹one] into [²receptacle ¹an earthenware] over [²water ¹living]. 6And as for the small bird, the one living, he shall take it, and the wood   of cedar, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop; and he shall dip them and the small bird that is living into the blood of the small bird   being slain over [²water ¹living]. 7And he shall sprinkle it about upon the one being cleansed of the leprosy seven times, and he will be clean. And he shall send out the small [²bird   ¹living] into the plain. 8And [³shall wash ¹the man  ²being cleansed]   his garments, and he shall shave all   his hair, and shall bathe in water, and shall be clean. And after these things  he shall enter into the camp, and shall spend time outside   of his house seven days. 9And it will be on the [²day   ¹seventh], he shall shave all   of his hair, the hair  of his head, and the beard, and the brows; even all   his hair he shall shave. And he shall wash   his garments, and shall bathe   his body in water, and he shall be clean. 10And on the [²day   ¹eighth] he shall take two lambs, unblemished, of a year old, and [²sheep ¹one], unblemished of a year old, and three tenths of fine flour for a sacrifice offering, being mixed in olive oil, and [²small cup ³of olive oil ¹one]. 11And [⁵shall stand ¹the ²priest ³that ⁴cleanses] the man for the cleansing, and these offerings  before the lord, at the door of the tent of the testimony. 12And [³shall take ¹the ²priest] the [²lamb   ¹one], and bring it for the trespass offering, and the small cup   of olive oil; and he shall separate them as a separation offering  before the lord. 13And he shall slay the lamb in the place where they slay the whole burnt-offerings, and the ones  for a sin offering, in [²place ¹the holy]. For it is the one  for a sin offering; as the one of the trespass offering  is for the priest -- [²a holy ³of holies ¹it is]. 14And [³shall take ¹the ²priest] from the blood, of the one of the trespass offering, and [³shall place it ¹the ²priest] upon the lobe of the ear of the one being cleansed -- the right, and upon the thumb   of his hand -- the right, and upon the big toe   of his foot -- the right. 15And [³taking ¹the ²priest] from the small cup of the olive oil, he shall pour upon the [²hand ³of the ⁴priest   ¹left]. 16And [³shall dip ¹the ²priest]   [³finger ¹his   ²right] from the olive oil   being in   [³hand ¹his   ²left]. And he shall sprinkle from the olive oil with  his finger seven times before the lord. 17And the left behind olive oil   being in   his hand, [³shall place ¹the ²priest] upon the lobe of the [²ear ³of the one ⁴being cleansed   ¹right], and upon the thumb   of his hand -- the right, and upon the big toe   of his foot -- the right, upon the place of the blood of the   trespass offering. 18And the left over olive oil that is  upon the hand of the priest, [³shall place it ¹the ²priest] upon the head of the one being cleansed, and [³shall atone ⁴for ⁵him ¹the ²priest] before the lord. 19And [³shall offer ¹the ²priest] the thing  for the sin offering, and [³shall atone ¹the ²priest] for the one being cleansed of   his sin. And after this [³shall slay ¹the ²priest] the whole burnt-offering. 20And [³shall offer ¹the ²priest] the whole burnt-offering, and the sacrifice upon the altar before the lord; and [³shall atone ⁴for ⁵him ¹the ²priest], and he shall be cleansed. 21And if he should be in need, and   his hand should not find what is needed, he shall take [²lamb ¹one] for what he trespassed for a cut-away portion, so as to atone for him, and a tenth of fine flour being mixed in olive oil for a sacrifice, and [²small cup ³of olive oil ¹one], 22and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, as much as [²found   ¹his hand]. And [³shall be ¹the ²one] for a sin offering, and the one for a whole burnt-offering. 23And he shall bring them on the [²day   ¹eighth], for   his cleansing, to the priest, unto the door of the tent of the testimony before the lord. 24And [³shall take ¹the ²priest] the lamb of the trespass offering, and the small cup of the olive oil, and he shall place them for an increase offering  before the lord. 25And he shall slay the lamb, the one for the trespass offering; and [³shall take ¹the ²priest] from the blood of the one for the trespass offering, and shall place it upon the lobe of the ear of the one being cleansed -- the right, and upon the thumb   of his hand -- the right, and upon the big toe   of his foot -- the right. 26And of the olive oil [³shall pour ¹the ²priest] upon   his hand -- the left. 27And [³shall sprinkle ¹the ²priest] with his finger -- the right from the olive oil, the oil  in   his hand -- the left, seven times before the lord. 28And [³shall put ¹the ²priest] of the olive oil   being in   his hand upon the lobe of the ear of the one being cleansed -- the right, and upon the thumb   of his hand -- the right, and upon the big toe   of his foot -- the right, on the place of the blood of the   trespass offering. 29And the left over olive oil,   being in the hand of the priest, he shall place upon the head of the one being cleansed, and [³shall atone ⁴for ⁵him ¹the ²priest] before the lord. 30And he shall offer one from the turtle-doves, or from the young ones of the pigeons, in so far as [³found ¹his   ²hand], 31the one for a sin offering, and the one for a whole burnt-offering with the sacrifice offering. And [³shall atone ¹the ²priest] for the one being cleansed before the lord. 32This is the law for him  in whom is found  the infection of the leprosy, and   not finding means  in  his hand enough for   his cleansing.

Laws Regarding Leprosy in Houses

33And the lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 34When ever you should enter into the land of the Canaanites, which I give to you for a possession, and I put an infection of leprosy in the houses of the land   procured by you; 35then [⁵shall come ¹one ²from ³the ⁴house] and shall announce to the priest, saying, Something as an infection has appeared to me in the house. 36And [³will assign ¹the ²priest] to pack up the house before the [²enters   ¹priest] to look at the infection, that no way [²unclean ¹should become] as much as might be in the house. And after these things  [³shall enter ¹the ²priest] to study the house. 37And he shall look at the infection. And behold, if the infection is in the walls of the house, with a cavity being greenish or being reddish, and   their appearance deep in the walls. 38And [³coming forth ¹the ²priest] from out of the house, at the door of the house, and then  [³shall separate ¹the ²priest] the house seven days. 39And [³shall come back again ¹the ²priest] on the [²day   ¹seventh], and he shall look at the house. And behold, if [³was diffused ¹the ²infection] in the walls of the house, 40then [³shall assign ¹the ²priest], and they shall take out the stones in which is the infection, and they shall cast them outside the city, into [²place ¹an unclean]. 41And [²the ³house ¹they shall scrape] from inside round about, and shall pour out the dust of the scraping outside the city into [²place ¹an unclean]. 42And they shall take stones being scraped of another, and they shall substitute for the stones, and [²dust for plaster  ¹other] they shall take, and they shall plaster the house. 43But if [³should come ⁴again ¹the ²infection], and should rise up in the house after the taking away of the stones, and after the scraping the house, and after the plastering, 44then [³shall enter ¹the ²priest] and he shall look. If [⁶be dispersed ¹the ²infection ³in ⁴the ⁵house], [²leprosy ¹it is a permanent] in the house -- it is unclean. 45And they shall demolish the house, and   its wood, and   its stones; and all the plaster dust of the house they shall bring forth outside the city unto [²place ¹an unclean]. 46And the one entering into the house all the days which it is being separated will be unclean until evening. 47And the one going to bed in the house shall wash   his garments, and will be unclean until evening. And the one eating in the house, he shall wash   his garments. 48And if coming, [³should enter ¹the ²priest] and look, and behold, [³is not dispersed ¹the ²infection] in the house after the plastering the house, that [³shall declare ⁶cleansed ¹the ²priest ⁴the ⁵house], for [³is healed ¹the ²infection]. 49And he shall take to purify the house, two small [²birds ¹living], and wood of cedar, and twined scarlet, and hyssop. 50And he shall slay the [²small bird   ¹one] into [²utensil ¹an earthenware] over [²water ¹living]. 51And he shall take the wood   of cedar, and the twined scarlet, and the hyssop, and the [²small bird   ¹living]; and he shall dip them into the blood of the small bird   having been slain over [²water ¹living]; and he shall sprinkle about with them upon the house seven times. 52And he shall purify the house with the blood of the small bird, and with the [²water   ¹living], and with the [²small bird   ¹living], and with the wood   of cedar, and with the hyssop, and with the twined scarlet. 53And he shall send out the [²small bird   ¹living] outside the city into the plain. And he shall atone for the house, and it will be clean. 54This is  the law for every infection of leprosy, and outbreak, 55and the leprosy of a garment, and house, 56and discoloration, and spot, and   shining; 57  to describe the day unclean, and the day it shall be cleansed. This is  the law of the leprosy.
