Laws for Cleansing Lepers
1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“This shall be the law of the leprous person for the day of his cleansing. aHe shall be brought to the priest, 3and the priest shall go bout of the camp, and the priest shall look. Then, if the case of leprous disease is healed in the leprous person, 4the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two live ▼▼Or wild
clean birds and dcedarwood and escarlet yarn and fhyssop. 5And the priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh ▼▼Or running; Hebrew living; also verses 6, 50, 51, 52
water. 6He shall take the live bird with the cedarwood and the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water. 7And he shall hsprinkle it iseven times on him who is to be cleansed of the leprous disease. Then he shall pronounce him clean and shall jlet the living bird go kinto the open field. 8And he who is to be cleansed lshall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and bathe himself in water, and he shall be clean. And after that he may come into the camp, but mlive outside his tent seven days. 9And non the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair from his head, his beard, and his eyebrows. He shall shave off all his hair, and then he oshall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean. 10“And on the eighth day he pshall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and a qgrain offering of three tenths of an ephah ▼
