Leviticus 14:2-32
2“ThisH2088 shall be the lawH8451 of the leperH6879 in the dayH3117 of his cleansingH2893. 1Now he shall be broughtH935 to the priestH3548, 3and the priestH3548 shall goH3318 2out to the outsideH4480H2351 of the campH4264. Thus the priestH3548 shall lookH7200, and ifH2009 the 3infectionH5061 of leprosyH6883 has been healedH7495 in the leperH6879, 4then the priestH3548 shall giveH6680 ordersH6680 to takeH3947 twoH8147 liveH2416 cleanH2889 birdsH6833 and 4cedarH730 woodH6086 and a 5scarletH8144 stringH8439 and hyssopH231 for the one who is to be cleansedH2891. 5The priestH3548 shall also giveH6680 ordersH6680 to slayH7819 the oneH259 birdH6833 in an earthenwareH2789 vesselH3627 overH5921 6runningH2416 waterH4325. 6As for the liveH2416 birdH6833, he shall takeH3947 it together with 7the cedarH730 woodH6086 and the 8scarletH8144 stringH8439 and the 9hyssopH231, and shall dipH2881 them and the liveH2416 birdH6833 in the bloodH1818 of the birdH6833 that was slainH7819 overH5921 the 10runningH2416 waterH4325. 711He shall then sprinkleH5137 sevenH7651 timesH6471 the one who is to be cleansedH2891 from the leprosyH6883 and shall pronounceH2891 him cleanH2891, and shall let the liveH2416 birdH6833 goH7971 freeH7971 overH5921 the openH6440 fieldH7704. 812The one to be cleansedH2891 shall then washH3526 his clothesH899 and shaveH1548 offH1548 allH3605 his hairH8181 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and 13be cleanH2891. Now afterwardH310, he may enterH935 the campH4264, but he 14shall stayH3427 outsideH4480H2351 his tentH168 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 9It will be on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 that he shall shaveH1548 offH1548 allH3605 his hairH8181: he shall shaveH1548 his headH7218 and his beardH2206 and his eyebrowsH5869H1354, even allH3605 his hairH8181. He shall then washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his 15bodyH1320 in waterH4325 and 16be cleanH2891.
10“Now on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he is to takeH3947 twoH8147 maleH3532 lambsH3532 withoutH8549 defectH8549, and a yearlingH8141 eweH3535 lambH3535 withoutH8549 defectH8549, and three-tenthsH7969H6241 of an 17ephah of fineH5560 flourH5560 mixedH1101 with oilH8081 for a grain offeringH4503, and oneH259 1819logH3849 of oilH8081; 11and the priestH3548 who pronouncesH2891 him cleanH2891 shall presentH5975 the manH376 to be cleansedH2891 and the 20aforesaid beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 12Then the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the oneH259 maleH3532 lambH3532 and bringH7126 it for a 21guiltH817 offeringH817, with the 2223logH3849 of oilH8081, and presentH5130 them as a 24waveH8573 offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 13Next he shall slaughterH7819 the maleH3532 lambH3532 in 25the placeH4725 whereH834 they slaughterH7819 the sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the burntH5930 offeringH5930, at the placeH4725 of the sanctuaryH6944--for the guiltH817 offeringH817, 26like the sinH2403 offeringH2403, belongs to the priestH3548; it is mostH6944 holyH6944. 14The priestH3548 shall then takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the 27guiltH817 offeringH817, and the priestH3548 shall putH5414 it on 28the lobeH8571 of the rightH3233 earH241 of the one to be cleansedH2891, and on the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027 and on the bigH931 toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272. 15The priestH3548 shall also takeH3947 someH4480 of the 2930logH3849 of oilH8081, and pourH3332 it into his leftH8042 palmH3709; 16the priestH3548 shall then dipH2881 his right-handH3233 fingerH676 into the oilH8081 that is in his leftH8042 palmH3709, and with his fingerH676 sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the oilH8081 sevenH7651 timesH6471 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 17Of the remainingH3499 oilH8081 whichH834 is in his palmH3709, the priestH3548 shall putH5414 some on the rightH3233 earH241 lobeH8571 of the one to be cleansedH2891, and on the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027, and on the bigH931 toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272, on the bloodH1818 of the guiltH817 offeringH817; 18while the restH3498 of the oilH8081 that is in the priest’sH3548 palmH3709, he shall putH5414 on the headH7218 of the one to be cleansedH2891. So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 31atonementH3722 on his behalfH5921 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 19The priestH3548 shall next offerH6213 the 32sinH2403 offeringH2403 and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the one to be cleansedH2891 from his uncleannessH2932. Then afterwardH310, he shall slaughterH7819 the burntH5930 offeringH5930. 20The priestH3548 shall offerH5927 up the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the grain offeringH4503 on the altarH4196. Thus the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him, and 33he will be cleanH2891.
21“34But ifH518 he is poorH1800 and his 35meansH3027 are insufficientH5381, then he is to takeH3947 oneH259 maleH3532 lambH3532 for a 36guiltH817 offeringH817 as a waveH8573 offeringH8573 to makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him, and one-tenthH259 of an 37ephah of fineH5560 flourH5560 mixedH1101 with oilH8081 for a grain offeringH4503, and a 3839logH3849 of oilH8081, 22and twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123 whichH834 40are withinH5381 his meansH3027, 41the oneH259 shall be a 42sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the otherH259 a burntH5930 offeringH5930. 2343Then the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he shall bringH935 them for his cleansingH2893 to the priestH3548, at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 24The priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the lambH3532 of the guiltH817 offeringH817 and 44the 45logH3849 of oilH8081, and the priestH3548 shall offerH5130 them for a waveH8573 offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 25Next he shall slaughterH7819 the lambH3532 of the guiltH817 offeringH817; and the priestH3548 is to takeH3947 someH4480 of the bloodH1818 of the guiltH817 offeringH817 and putH5414 it on 46the lobeH8571 of the rightH3233 earH241 of the one to be cleansedH2891 and on the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027 and on the bigH931 toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272. 26The priestH3548 shall also pourH3332 someH4480 of the oilH8081 into his leftH8042 palmH3709; 27and with his right-handH3233 fingerH676 the priestH3548 shall sprinkleH5137 someH4480 of the oilH8081 that is in his leftH8042 palmH3709 sevenH7651 timesH6471 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 28The priestH3548 shall then putH5414 someH4480 of the oilH8081 that is in his palmH3709 on the lobeH8571 of the rightH3233 earH241 of the one to be cleansedH2891, and on the thumbH931 of his rightH3233 handH3027 and on the bigH931 toeH931 of his rightH3233 footH7272, on the placeH4725 of the bloodH1818 of the guiltH817 offeringH817. 29Moreover, the restH3498 of the oilH8081 that is in the priest’sH3548 palmH3709 he shall putH5414 on the headH7218 of the one to be cleansedH2891, to makeH3722 atonementH3722 on his behalfH5921 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 30He shall then offerH6213 oneH259 of the turtledovesH8449 orH176 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, 47whichH834 are withinH5381 his meansH3027. 31He shall offer whatH834 48he can affordH5381H3027, 49the oneH259 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the otherH259 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930, togetherH5921 with the grain offeringH4503. So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 on behalfH5921 of the one to be cleansedH2891. 32ThisH2088 is the lawH8451 for him in whomH834 there is an infectionH5061 of leprosyH6883, whoseH834 50meansH3027 are limitedH5381 for his cleansingH2893.”
