Leviticus 14
1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be
brought unto the priest:
3 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,
4 then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two
living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
5 And the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel
over running water.
6 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:
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven
times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird into the
open field.
8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his
hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean: and after that he shall
come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
9 And 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, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall
be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one
ewe-lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine
flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be cleansed,
and those things, before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting.
12 And the priest shall take one of the he-lambs, and offer him for a
trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave-offering before
Jehovah:
13 and he shall kill the he-lamb in the place where they kill the sin-offering
and the burnt-offering, in the place of the sanctuary: for as the sin-offering
is the priest's, so is the trespass-offering: it is most holy:
14 and the priest shall take 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.
15 And the priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his
own left hand;
16 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 Jehovah:
17 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:
18 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: and the priest shall make atonement for him
before Jehovah.
19 And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him that
is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the
burnt-offering;
20 and the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the meal-offering upon the
altar: and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much, then he shall take one he-lamb for
a trespass-offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth part
[of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering, and a log of
oil;
22 and two turtle-doves, 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.
23 And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing unto the priest,
unto the door of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah:
24 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 Jehovah.
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall
take 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.
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;
27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is
in his left hand seven times before Jehovah:
28 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:
29 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 atonement for him before Jehovah.
30 And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as
he is able to get,
31 even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for
a burnt-offering, with the meal-offering: and the priest shall make atonement
for him that is to be cleansed before Jehovah.
32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to
get [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing.
33 And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34 When ye are 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;
35 then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There
seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house.
36 And the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest
goeth in 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:
37 and he shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the plague be in the walls
of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance
thereof be lower than the wall;
38 then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut
up the house seven days.
39 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;
40 then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the
plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city:
41 and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall
pour out the mortar, that they scrape off, without the city into an unclean
place:
42 and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones;
and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath
taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is
plastered;
44 then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague be spread
in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof,
and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city
into an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall
be unclean until the even.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in
the house shall wash his clothes.
48 And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath not
spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall
pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and
scarlet, and hyssop:
50 and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
51 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:
52 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:
53 but he shall let got the living bird out of the city into the open field: so
shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.
54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for a scall,
55 and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house,
56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
57 to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of
leprosy.
