Leviticus 14:10-22

10On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he is to bringH3947 twoH8147 unblemishedH8549 male lambsH3532, anH259 unblemishedH8549 ewe lambH3535 a year oldH1323H8141, a grain offeringH4503 of three-tenthsH7969H6241 of an ephah of fine flourH55601 mixedH1101 with olive oilH8081, and oneH259 logH3849 of olive oilH8081.2 11The priestH3548 who performs the cleansingH2891 shall presentH5975 the oneH376 to be cleansedH2891, together with these offeringsH854, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 at the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150.

12Then the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 oneH259 of the male lambsH3532 and presentH7126 it as a guilt offeringH817, along with the logH3849 of olive oilH8081; and he must waveH5130 themH853 as a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 13Then he is to slaughterH7819 the lambH3532 in the sanctuaryH6944 areaH4725 whereH834 the sin offeringH2403 and burnt offeringH5930 are slaughteredH7819. LikeH3588 the sin offeringH2403, the guilt offeringH817 belongs to the priestH3548; itH1931 is mostH6944 holyH6944H1931.

14The priestH3548 is to takeH3947 some of the bloodH1818 from the guilt offeringH817 and put itH5414H3548 onH5921 the rightH3233 earlobeH241H8571 of the one to be cleansedH2891, onH5921 the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and onH5921 the big toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272. 15Then the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 some of the logH3849 of olive oilH8081, pourH3332 it intoH5921 hisH3548 leftH8042 palmH3709, 16dipH2881 his rightH3233 forefingerH676 intoH4480 the oilH8081 inH5921 his leftH8042 palmH3709, and sprinkleH5137 some ofH4480 the oilH8081 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 17And the priestH3548 is to putH5414 someH5921 of the oilH8081 remainingH3499 inH5921 his palmH3709 on the rightH3233 earlobeH241H8571 of the one to be cleansedH2891, onH5921 the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and onH5921 the big toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272, on top ofH5921 the bloodH1818 of the guilt offeringH817.

18The restH3498 of the oilH8081 in hisH5921 palmH3709, the priestH3548 is to putH5414 onH5921 the headH7218 of the one to be cleansedH2891, to make atonementH3722 for himH5921 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 19Then the priestH3548 is to sacrificeH6213 the sin offeringH2403 and make atonementH3722 forH5921 the one to be cleansedH2891 from his uncleannessH2932. After thatH310, the priest shall slaughterH7819 the burnt offeringH5930 20and offerH5927 it on the altarH4196, withH853 the grain offeringH4503, to make atonementH3722 for himH5921, and he will be cleanH2891.

21If, howeverH518, the person is poorH1800 and cannotH369 afford theseH3027H5381 offerings, he is to takeH3947 oneH259 male lambH3532 as a guilt offeringH817 to be wavedH8573 to make atonementH3722 for himH5921, along with a tenthH6241 of an ephah of fine flourH5560H2593 mixedH1101 with olive oilH8081 for a grain offeringH4503, a logH3849 of olive oilH8081, 22and twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, whicheverH834 he can affordH5381H3027, oneH259 to beH1961 a sin offeringH2403 and the otherH259 a burnt offeringH5930.
