Leviticus 14
1And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2This shall beH1961 the lawH8451 of the leper in the dayH3117 of his cleansing: he shall beH1961 broughtH935 unto the priestH3548: 3and the priestH3548 shall goH3318 forthH3318 out of the campH4264; and the priestH3548 shall look; and, behold, if the plagueH5061 of leprosy be healedH7495 in the leper, 4then shall the priestH3548 commandH6680 to takeH3947 for him that is to be cleansedH2891 twoH8147 living cleanH2889 birdsH6833, and cedarH730 woodH6086, and scarletH8144, and hyssopH231: 5and the priestH3548 shall commandH6680 to kill oneH259 of the birdsH6833 in an earthen vesselH3627 over running waterH4325. 6As for the living birdH6833, he shall takeH3947 it, and the cedarH730 woodH6086, and the scarletH8144, and the hyssopH231, and shall dipH2881 them and the living birdH6833 in the bloodH1818 of the birdH6833 that was killed over the running waterH4325: 7and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansedH2891 from the leprosy sevenH7651 timesH6471, and shall pronounce him cleanH2891, and shall let goH7971 the living birdH6833 into the open fieldH7704. 8And he that is to be cleansedH2891 shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and shaveH1548 off all his hairH8181, and batheH7364 himself in waterH4325; and he shall be cleanH2891: and after that he shall comeH935 into the campH4264, but shall dwellH3427 outside his tentH168 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 9And it shall beH1961 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that he shall shaveH1548 all his hairH8181 off his headH7218 and his beardH2206 and his eyebrows, even all his hairH8181 he shall shaveH1548 off: and he shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and he shall batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and he shall beH1961 cleanH2891.
10And on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he shall takeH3947 twoH8147 he-lambs without blemish, and oneH259 ewe-lamb a yearH8141 old without blemish, and threeH7969 tenthH6241 parts of an ephah of fineH5560 flourH5560 for a meal-offering, mingled with oilH8081, and oneH259 logH3849 of oilH8081. 11And the priestH3548 that cleanseth him shall setH5975 the manH376 that is to be cleansedH2891, and those things, before Jehovah, at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 12And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 oneH259 of the he-lambs, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the logH3849 of oilH8081, and wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah: 13and he shall kill the he-lamb in the placeH4725 whereH834 they kill the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the placeH4725 of the sanctuaryH6944: for as the sin-offering is the priest’sH3548, so is the trespass-offering: it is most holyH6944. 14And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the trespass-offering, and the priestH3548 shall putH5414 it upon the tip of the rightH3233 earH241 of him that is to be cleansedH2891, and upon the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and upon the great toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272. 15And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 of the logH3849 of oilH8081, and pourH3332 it into the palmH3709 of his own left handH3709; 16and the priestH3548 shall dipH2881 his rightH3233 fingerH676 in the oilH8081 that is in his left handH3709, and shall sprinkle of the oilH8081 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471 before Jehovah. 17And of the restH3499 of the oilH8081 that is in his handH3027 shall the priestH3548 putH5414 upon the tip of the rightH3233 earH241 of him that is to be cleansedH2891, and upon the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and upon the great toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272, upon the bloodH1818 of the trespass-offering: 18and the rest of the oilH8081 that is in the priest’sH3548 handH3709 he shall putH5414 upon the headH7218 of him that is to be cleansedH2891: and the priestH3548 shall makeH5414 atonementH3722 for him before Jehovah. 19And the priestH3548 shall offer the sin-offering, and makeH6213 atonementH3722 for him that is to be cleansedH2891 because of his uncleannessH2932: and afterward he shall kill the burnt-offering; 20and the priestH3548 shall offerH5927 the burnt-offering and the meal-offering upon the altarH4196: and the priestH3548 shall make atonementH3722 for him, and he shall be cleanH2891.
21And if he be poorH1800, and cannot get so much, then he shall takeH3947 oneH259 he-lamb for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make atonementH3722 for him, and oneH259 tenthH6241 part of an ephah of fineH5560 flourH5560 mingled with oilH8081 for a meal-offering, and a logH3849 of oilH8081; 22and twoH8147 turtle-doves, or twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the oneH259 shall beH1961 a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering. 23And on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he shall bringH935 them for his cleansing unto the priestH3548, unto the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, before Jehovah: 24and the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the lambH3532 of the trespass-offering, and the logH3849 of oilH8081, and the priestH3548 shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah. 25And he shall kill the lambH3532 of the trespass-offering; and the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the trespass-offering, and putH5414 it upon the tip of the rightH3233 earH241 of him that is to be cleansedH2891, and upon the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and upon the great toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272. 26And the priestH3548 shall pourH3332 of the oilH8081 into the palmH3709 of his own left handH3709; 27and the priestH3548 shall sprinkle with his rightH3233 fingerH676 some of the oilH8081 that is in his left handH3709 sevenH7651 timesH6471 before Jehovah: 28and the priestH3548 shall putH5414 of the oilH8081 that is in his handH3027 upon the tip of the rightH3233 earH241 of him that is to be cleansedH2891, and upon the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and upon the great toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272, upon the placeH4725 of the bloodH1818 of the trespass-offering: 29and the rest of the oilH8081 that is in the priest’sH3548 handH3709 he shall putH5414 upon the headH7218 of him that is to be cleansedH2891, to makeH5414 atonementH3722 for him before Jehovah. 30And he shall offerH6213 oneH259 of the turtle-doves, or of the youngH1121 pigeons, such as he is able to get, 31even such as he is able to get, the oneH259 for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meal-offering: and the priestH3548 shall make atonementH3722 for him that is to be cleansedH2891 before Jehovah. 32This is the lawH8451 of him in whom is the plagueH5061 of leprosy, who is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
33And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559, 34When ye are comeH935 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which I giveH5414 to you for a possessionH272, and I putH5414 the plagueH5061 of leprosy in a houseH1004 of the landH776 of your possessionH272; 35then he that owneth the houseH1004 shall comeH935 and tellH5046 the priestH3548, sayingH559, There seemeth to me to be as it were a plagueH5061 in the houseH1004. 36And the priestH3548 shall commandH6680 that they empty the houseH1004, before the priestH3548 goeth in to seeH7200 the plagueH5061, that all that is in the houseH1004 be not madeH2930 uncleanH2930: and afterward the priestH3548 shall goH935 in to seeH7200 the houseH1004: 37and he shall look on the plagueH5061; and, behold, if the plagueH5061 be in the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 with hollow streaks, greenishH3422 or reddishH125, and the appearanceH4758 thereof be lowerH8217 than the wallH7023; 38then the priestH3548 shall goH3318 out of the houseH1004 to the doorH6607 of the houseH1004, and shutH5462 up the houseH1004 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 39And the priestH3548 shall come again the seventhH7637 dayH3117, and shall look; and, behold, if the plagueH5061 be spreadH6581 in the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004; 40then the priestH3548 shall commandH6680 that they take out the stonesH68 in which the plagueH5061 is, and castH7993 them into an uncleanH2931 placeH4725 without the cityH5892: 41and he shall cause the houseH1004 to be scrapedH7096 within roundH5439 about, and they shall pourH8210 out the mortar, that they scrape off, without the cityH5892 into an uncleanH2931 placeH4725: 42and they shall takeH3947 otherH312 stonesH68, and put them in the placeH8478 of those stonesH68; and he shall takeH3947 otherH312 mortar, and shall plaster the houseH1004.
43And if the plagueH5061 come again, and break out in the houseH1004, after that he hath taken out the stonesH68, and after he hath scrapedH7096 the houseH1004, and after it is plasteredH2902; 44then the priestH3548 shall comeH935 in and look; and, behold, if the plagueH5061 be spreadH6581 in the houseH1004, it is a fretting leprosy in the houseH1004: it is uncleanH2931. 45And he shall breakH5422 down the houseH1004, the stonesH68 of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the houseH1004; and he shall carry them forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 into an uncleanH2931 placeH4725. 46Moreover he that goeth into the houseH1004 all the while that it is shutH5462 up shall be uncleanH2930 until the even. 47And he that lieth in the houseH1004 shall washH3526 his clothesH899; and he that eateth in the houseH1004 shall washH3526 his clothesH899.
48And if the priestH3548 shall comeH935 in, and look, and, behold, the plagueH5061 hath not spreadH6581 in the houseH1004, after the houseH1004 was plasteredH2902; then the priestH3548 shall pronounce the houseH1004 cleanH2891, because the plagueH5061 is healedH7495. 49And he shall takeH3947 to cleanseH2398 the houseH1004 twoH8147 birdsH6833, and cedar-wood, and scarletH8144, and hyssopH231: 50and he shall kill oneH259 of the birdsH6833 in an earthen vesselH3627 over running waterH4325: 51and he shall takeH3947 the cedar-wood, and the hyssopH231, and the scarletH8144, and the living birdH6833, and dipH2881 them in the bloodH1818 of the slain birdH6833, and in the running waterH4325, and sprinkle the houseH1004 sevenH7651 timesH6471: 52and he shall cleanseH2398 the houseH1004 with the bloodH1818 of the birdH6833, and with the running waterH4325, and with the living birdH6833, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssopH231, and with the scarletH8144: 53but he shall let goH7971 the living birdH6833 out of the cityH5892 into the open fieldH7704: so shall he make atonementH3722 for the houseH1004; and it shall be cleanH2891.
54This is the lawH8451 for all manner of plagueH5061 of leprosy, and for a scallH5424, 55and for the leprosy of a garmentH899, and for a houseH1004, 56and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a brightH934 spotH934; 57to teachH3384 when it is uncleanH2931, and when it is cleanH2889: this is the lawH8451 of leprosy.
