1 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.
