1 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 ` This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing, that he hath been brought in unto the priest,

“This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. Now he shall be brought to the priest,

3 a nd the priest hath gone out unto the outside of the camp, and the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague of leprosy hath ceased from the leper,

and the priest shall go out to the outside of the camp. Thus the priest shall look, and if the infection of leprosy has been healed in the leper,

4 a nd the priest hath commanded, and he hath taken for him who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

then the priest shall give orders to take two live clean birds and cedar wood and a scarlet string and hyssop for the one who is to be cleansed.

5 ` And the priest hath commanded, and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

The priest shall also give orders to slay the one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water.

6 t he living bird, he taketh it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and hath dipped them and the living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water,

As for the live bird, he shall take it together with the cedar wood and the scarlet string and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slain over the running water.

7 a nd he hath sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and hath pronounced him clean, and hath sent out the living bird on the face of the field.

He shall then sprinkle seven times the one who is to be cleansed from the leprosy and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird go free over the open field.

8 ` And he who is to be cleansed hath washed his garments, and hath shaved all his hair, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean, and afterwards he doth come in unto the camp, and hath dwelt at the outside of his tent seven days.

The one to be cleansed shall then wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and bathe in water and be clean. Now afterward, he may enter the camp, but he shall stay outside his tent for seven days.

9 ` And it hath been, on the seventh day -- he shaveth all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair he doth shave, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and hath been clean.

It will be on the seventh day that he shall shave off all his hair: he shall shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair. He shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in water and be clean.

10 ` And on the eighth day he taketh two lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three tenth deals of flour a present, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

“Now on the eighth day he is to take two male lambs without defect, and a yearling ewe lamb without defect, and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil;

11 ` And the priest who is cleansing hath caused the man who is to be cleansed to stand with them before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,

and the priest who pronounces him clean shall present the man to be cleansed and the aforesaid before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

12 a nd the priest hath taken the one he-lamb, and hath brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and hath waved them -- a wave offering before Jehovah.

Then the priest shall take the one male lamb and bring it for a guilt offering, with the log of oil, and present them as a wave offering before the Lord.

13 ` And he hath slaughtered the lamb in the place where he slaughtereth the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering the guilt-offering is to the priest; it most holy.

Next he shall slaughter the male lamb in the place where they slaughter the sin offering and the burnt offering, at the place of the sanctuary—for the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest; it is most holy.

14 ` And the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath put on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;

The priest shall then take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

15 a nd the priest hath taken of the log of oil, and hath poured on the left palm of the priest,

The priest shall also take some of the log of oil, and pour it into his left palm;

16 a nd the priest hath dipped his right finger in the oil which on his left palm, and hath sprinkled of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.

the priest shall then dip his right-hand finger into the oil that is in his left palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of the oil seven times before the Lord.

17 ` And of the residue of the oil which on his palm, the priest putteth on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt-offering;

Of the remaining oil which is in his palm, the priest shall put some on the right ear lobe of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt offering;

18 a nd the remnant of the oil which on the palm of the priest, he putteth on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah.

while the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s palm, he shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the Lord.

19 ` And the priest hath made the sin-offering, and hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterwards he doth slaughter the burnt-offering;

The priest shall next offer the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Then afterward, he shall slaughter the burnt offering.

20 a nd the priest hath caused the burnt-offering to ascend, also the present, on the altar, and the priest hath made atonement for him, and he hath been clean.

The priest shall offer up the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be clean.

21 ` And if he poor, and his hand is not reaching, then he hath taken one lamb -- a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth deal of flour mixed with oil for a present, and a log of oil,

“ But if he is poor and his means are insufficient, then he is to take one male lamb for a guilt offering as a wave offering to make atonement for him, and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil,

22 a nd two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand reacheth to, and one hath been a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering;

and two turtledoves or two young pigeons which are within his means, the one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

23 a nd he hath brought them in on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah.

Then the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, at the doorway of the tent of meeting, before the Lord.

24 ` And the priest hath taken the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest hath waved them -- a wave-offering before Jehovah;

The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall offer them for a wave offering before the Lord.

25 a nd he hath slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and hath put on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;

Next he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering; and the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

26 a nd the priest doth pour of the oil on the left palm of the priest;

The priest shall also pour some of the oil into his left palm;

27 a nd the priest hath sprinkled with his right finger of the oil which on his left palm, seven times before Jehovah.

and with his right-hand finger the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the Lord.

28 ` And the priest hath put of the oil which on his palm, on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering;

The priest shall then put some of the oil that is in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering.

29 a nd the remnant of the oil which on the palm of the priest he doth put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him, before Jehovah.

Moreover, the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement on his behalf before the Lord.

30 ` And he hath made the one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons (from that which his hand reacheth to,

He shall then offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, which are within his means.

31 t hat which his hand reacheth to), the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt offering, besides the present, and the priest hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Jehovah.

He shall offer what he can afford, the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.

32 T his a law of him in whom a plague of leprosy, whose hand reacheth not to his cleansing.'

This is the law for him in whom there is an infection of leprosy, whose means are limited for his cleansing.” Cleansing a Leprous House

33 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

The Lord further spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

34 ` When ye come in unto the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house the land of your possession;

“ When you enter the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a mark of leprosy on a house in the land of your possession,

35 t hen hath he whose the house come in and declared to the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the house;

then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘ Something like a mark of leprosy has become visible to me in the house.’

36 a nd the priest hath commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest cometh in to see the plague (that all which in the house be not unclean), and afterwards doth the priest come in to see the house;

The priest shall then command that they empty the house before the priest goes in to look at the mark, so that everything in the house need not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to look at the house.

37 a nd he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague in the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red, and their appearance lower than the wall,

So he shall look at the mark, and if the mark on the walls of the house has greenish or reddish depressions and appears deeper than the surface,

38 a nd the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days.

then the priest shall come out of the house, to the doorway, and quarantine the house for seven days.

39 ` And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

The priest shall return on the seventh day and make an inspection. If the mark has indeed spread in the walls of the house,

40 a nd the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague, and have cast them unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place;

then the priest shall order them to tear out the stones with the mark in them and throw them away at an unclean place outside the city.

41 a nd the house he doth cause to be scraped within round about, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;

He shall have the house scraped all around inside, and they shall dump the plaster that they scrape off at an unclean place outside the city.

42 a nd they have taken other stones, and brought in unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath daubed the house.

Then they shall take other stones and replace those stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.

43 ` And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the daubing;

“If, however, the mark breaks out again in the house after he has torn out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,

44 t hen hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the house; it a fretting leprosy in the house; it unclean.

then the priest shall come in and make an inspection. If he sees that the mark has indeed spread in the house, it is a malignant mark in the house; it is unclean.

45 ` And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place.

He shall therefore tear down the house, its stones, and its timbers, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.

46 ` And he who is going in unto the house all the days he hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening;

Moreover, whoever goes into the house during the time that he has quarantined it, becomes unclean until evening.

47 a nd he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments; and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments.

Likewise, whoever lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 ` And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean, for the plague hath been healed.

“If, on the other hand, the priest comes in and makes an inspection and the mark has not indeed spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the mark has not reappeared.

49 ` And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

To cleanse the house then, he shall take two birds and cedar wood and a scarlet string and hyssop,

50 a nd he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

and he shall slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water.

51 a nd he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath sprinkled upon the house seven times.

Then he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the scarlet string, with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird as well as in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

52 ` And he hath cleansed 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;

He shall thus cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water, along with the live bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the scarlet string.

53 a nd he hath sent away the living bird unto the outside of the city unto the face of the field, and hath made atonement for the house, and it hath been clean.

However, he shall let the live bird go free outside the city into the open field. So he shall make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.”

54 ` This the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scall,

This is the law for any mark of leprosy—even for a scale,

55 a nd for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

and for the leprous garment or house,

56 a nd for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, --

and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot—

57 t o direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this the law of the leprosy.'

to teach when they are unclean and when they are clean. This is the law of leprosy.
