Leviticus 14
1THEN the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2This is the law of the leper. Whenever he is cleansed he shall be brought before the priest.
3The priest shall go out of the camp; and if upon looking, the priest see that the touch of the leprosy is healed in the leper,
4the priest shall give orders, and they shall take from him who is cleansed, two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop;
5and the priest shall give orders, and they shall kill one live bird, over spring water, in an earthen vessel.
6Then he shall take the living bird, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, and dip them, and the living bird, in the blood of the bird which was killed over the spring water,
7and sprinkle some of it seven times on him who is cleansed from the leprosy, and he shall be clean. Then he shall let the live bird go into the field.
8And he who is cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself with water; and he shall be clean; and after this he may come into the camp; but he must tarry abroad, out of his own house, seven days.
9And on the seventh day he shall shave off all the hair on his head, and beard, and his eyebrows; and having shaved off all his hair, he shall wash his clothes, and wash his body with water, and he shall be clean.
10And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs, of the first year, without blemish, and three tenths of fine flour, tempered with oil, for a sacrifice, and one cotulus of oil;
11and the priest who pronounceth him clean shall set the man who is cleansed, and these things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony;
12and the priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer it for a trespass offering, with the cotulus of oil, and set them apart as a dedication before the Lord;
13(Now they shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the whole burnt offerings and the sin offerings—in a holy place) for as is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering, for the priest. They are most holy.
14And 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 who is cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.
15Then taking some of the cotulus of oil, the priest shall pour it into his own left hand,
16and he shall dip his right finger into the oil which is in his left hand, and sprinkle it with his finger before the Lord seven times.
17And the rest of the oil which is in his left hand the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him who is cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
18And the oil still left in his hand the priest shall put on the head of him who is cleansed. So shall the priest make atonement for him before the Lord.
19Then the priest shall prepare the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is cleansed, with his sin offering, and after that the priest shall kill the whole burnt offering.
20And the priest shall offer up the whole burnt offering, and the sacrifice of flour, on the altar. So shall the priest make atonement for him, and he shall be cleansed.
21But if he be poor, and not of ability to furnish this, he shall take one lamb for the trespass which he hath committed, that it may be set apart as a dedication, so that atonement may be made for him, and a tenth of fine flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a cotulus of oil,
22and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, which ever he can find most readily, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering.
23And on the eighth day he shall bring these to the priest, that he may cleanse him, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord.
24And the priest having taken the lamb of the trespass offering, and the cotulus of oil, shall set them apart as a dedication before the Lord.
25And 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 on the tip of the right ear of him who is cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;
26then pouring some of the oil into his own left hand,
27the priest shall sprinkle, with his right finger, some of the oil in his left hand, seven times before the Lord.
28And the priest shall put some of the oil in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering;
29and shall put the oil remaining in his hand, on the head of him who is cleansed; so having made atonement for him before the Lord,
30the priest shall offer one of the turtledoves, or one of the young pigeons,
31as his hand hath found, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering, with the sacrifice of flour.
So shall the priest make atonement for him who is cleansed.
32This is the law for him on whom there is a touch of the leprosy, and who is not of ability to furnish the other offerings for his purification.
33Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
34When you are come to the land of the Chananites which I give you for a possession, and I send a touch of a leprosy on the houses of the land which you possess,
35the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, Something like a touch hath appeared to me in the house.
36Upon this the priest shall order the house to be unfurnished, before he goeth in to view the touch, that what is in the house may not be made unclean. And this being done, the priest shall go in to examine the house.
37And if, upon viewing the touch, he see that there is a touch in the walls of the house, and he seeth the cavities of a reddish or greenish colour, which appear to be deep in the wall;
38upon coming out of the house, at the door of the house, the priest shall sequestrate the house for seven days.
39And on the seventh day the priest shall come again and view the house: And if he seeth that the touch hath spread in the walls of the house,
40the priest shall order them to take out the stones in which is the touch, and to carry them out of the city to an unclean place,
41and to scrape the house on the inside round about, and pour out the dust which is scraped off, without the city, into an unclean place.
42And they shall take other stones, well scraped, and put them in the place of those stones, and take other mortar, and plaster the house.
43And if the touch come again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it hath been plastered;
44the priest shall go in and take a view; and if the touch hath spread in the house, it is an inveterate leprosy in the house. It is unclean.
45They shall therefore demolish the house, and carry the wood thereof, and the stones thereof, and the rubbish thereof, out of the city to an unclean place.
46Now he who goeth into the house, all the while it is sequestrated, shall be unclean till the evening.
47And he who sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: And he who eateth in the house shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
48But when the priest shall come, and go in, if upon taking a view he seeth that the touch hath not spread in the house, after being plastered, the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the touch is healed.
49And in order to cleanse the house, he shall take two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop.
50And he shall kill one of the birds, over spring water, in an earthen vessel.
51Then he shall take the cedar wood, and the scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird which was killed over spring water, and with them sprinkle the house seven times,
52and cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the spring water, and with the living bird, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet yarn.
53Then he shall send away the live bird out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
54This is the law for every touch of a leprosy and scald,
55and of the leprosy in a garment, and a house,
56and of a boil, and a scar, and the bright spot;
57and to teach when a thing is unclean, and when it is to be pronounced clean. This is the law of the leprosy.
