This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
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;
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:
And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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:
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:
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:
And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
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:
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:
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.
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:
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.
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;
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.
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.
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:
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:
And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
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:
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.
And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
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.
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.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
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;
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:
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:
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;
Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
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;
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:
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:
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.
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;
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.
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.
Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
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.
And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
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:
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:
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.
This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
