Chapter 14

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

This shall be the law of the leper³⁰ in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought⁹⁰ unto the priest:

And the priest shall go forth¹ out of the camp; and the priest shall look,¹ and, behold, [if] the plague of leprosy be healed⁸ in the leper;⁷

Then shall the priest command¹⁴ to take¹ for him that is to be cleansed¹⁰² two birds alive [and] clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, ⁸⁴³⁸ and hyssop:

And the priest shall command¹⁴ that one of the birds be killed¹ in an earthen vessel over running water:

As for the living bird, he shall take⁴ it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, ⁸⁴³⁸ and the hyssop, and shall dip¹ them and the living bird in the blood of the bird [that was] killed⁷ over the running water:

And he shall sprinkle⁵² upon him that is to be cleansed¹⁰² from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean,¹⁴ and shall let the living bird loose¹⁴ into the open field.

And he that is to be cleansed¹⁰² shall wash¹⁴ his clothes, and shave¹⁴ off all his hair, and wash¹ himself in water, that he may be clean:¹ and after that he shall come⁴ into the camp, and shall tarry¹ abroad out of his tent seven days.

But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave¹⁷ all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, ⁵⁸⁶⁹ even all his hair he shall shave¹⁷ off: and he shall wash¹⁴ his clothes, also he shall wash¹ his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.¹

And on the eighth day he shall take⁴ 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, mingled⁷ with oil, and one log of oil.

And the priest that maketh [him] clean¹⁸ shall present⁵² the man that is to be made clean,¹⁰² and those things, before the LORD, [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

And the priest shall take¹ one he lamb, and offer⁵² him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave⁵² them [for] a wave offering before the LORD:

And he shall slay¹ the lamb in the place where he shall kill⁴ 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 take¹ [some] of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put¹ [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed,¹⁰² and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

And the priest shall take¹ [some] of the log of oil, and pour¹ [it] into the palm of his own left hand:

And the priest shall dip¹ his right finger in the oil that [is] in his left hand, and shall sprinkle⁵² 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 put⁴ upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed,¹⁰² 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 remnant¹² of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall pour⁴ upon the head of him that is to be cleansed:¹⁰² and the priest shall make an atonement¹⁴ for him before the LORD.

And the priest shall offer¹ the sin offering, and make an atonement¹⁴ for him that is to be cleansed¹⁰² from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill⁴ the burnt offering:

And the priest shall offer⁵² the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement¹⁴ for him, and he shall be clean.¹

And if he [be] poor, and cannot get ^{5381 56} so much; then he shall take¹ one lamb [for] a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement¹⁵ for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled⁷ 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; ^{5381 55} and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

And he shall bring⁵² 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 take¹ the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave⁵² them [for] a wave offering before the LORD:

And he shall kill¹ the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take¹ [some] of the blood of the trespass offering, and put¹ [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed,¹⁰² and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

And the priest shall pour⁴ of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:

And the priest shall sprinkle⁵² with his right finger [some] of the oil that [is] in his left hand seven times before the LORD:

And the priest shall put¹ of the oil that [is] in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed,¹⁰² 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 rest¹² of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall put⁴ upon the head of him that is to be cleansed,¹⁰² to make an atonement¹⁵ for him before the LORD.

And he shall offer¹ the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; ^{5381 55}

[Even] such as he is able to get, ^{5381 55} the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement¹⁴ for him that is to be cleansed¹⁰² before the LORD.

This [is] the law [of him] in whom [is] the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get⁵⁵ [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing.

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,²

When ye be come⁴ into the land of Canaan, which I give⁶ to you for a possession, and I put¹ the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

And he that owneth the house shall come¹ and tell⁵² the priest, saying,² It seemeth⁸ to me [there is] as it were a plague in the house:

Then the priest shall command¹⁴ that they empty¹⁴ the house, before the priest go⁴ [into it] to see² the plague, that all that [is] in the house be not made unclean:⁴ and afterward the priest shall go in⁴ to see² the house:

And he shall look¹ 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 out¹ of the house to the door of the house, and shut up⁵² the house seven days:

And the priest shall come again¹ the seventh day, and shall look:¹ and, behold, [if] the plague be spread¹ in the walls of the house;

Then the priest shall command¹⁴ that they take away¹⁴ the stones in which the plague [is], and they shall cast⁵² them into an unclean place without the city:

And he shall cause the house to be scraped⁵⁵ within round about, and they shall pour out¹ the dust that they scrape⁵² off without the city into an unclean place:

And they shall take¹ other stones, and put⁵² [them] in the place of those stones; and he shall take⁴ other morter, and shall plaister¹ the house.

And if the plague come again,⁴ and break out¹ in the house, after that he hath taken away¹⁴ the stones, and after he hath scraped⁵³ the house, and after it is plaistered;⁹

Then the priest shall come¹ and look,¹ and, behold, [if] the plague be spread¹ in the house, it [is] a fretting⁵⁶ leprosy in the house: it [is] unclean.

And he shall break down¹ the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry [them] forth⁵² out of the city into an unclean place.

Moreover he that goeth⁶ into the house all the while that it is shut up⁵² shall be unclean⁴ until the even.

And he that lieth⁶ in the house shall wash¹⁷ his clothes; and he that eateth⁶ in the house shall wash¹⁷ his clothes.

And if the priest shall come in,^{4 935 2} and look¹ [upon it], and, behold, the plague hath not spread¹ in the house, after the house was plaistered:⁹ then the priest shall pronounce the house clean,¹⁴ because the plague is healed.⁸

And he shall take¹ to cleanse¹⁵ the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, ⁸⁴³⁸ and hyssop:

And he shall kill¹ the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

And he shall take¹ the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, ⁸⁴³⁸ and the living bird, and dip¹ them in the blood of the slain⁷ bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle⁵² the house seven times:

And he shall cleanse¹⁴ 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: ⁸⁴³⁸

But he shall let go¹⁴ the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement¹⁴ for the house: and it shall be clean.¹

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 teach⁵³ when [it is] unclean, and when [it is] clean: this [is] the law of leprosy.
