¹Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, ²“This will be the procedure for him who is leprous, on the day of his cleansing. Now he will be brought to the priest, ³and the priest will go outside the camp, and the priest will examine him, and if the affliction of leprosy has healed in the leper, ⁴then the priest will command that two birds are taken for him that is having himself cleansed, live and clean ones, and cedar wood, and scarlet dye and hyssop, ⁵and the priest will command that one bird be killed in an earthenware vessel over running water. ⁶As for the living bird, he will take it and the cedar wood, and the scarlet dye and the hyssop, and he will dip them, and the bird that is alive, in the blood of the bird that was killed, above running water. ⁷And he will sprinkle it seven times on him who is having himself cleansed from the leprosy, and he will pronounce him clean, and he will release the bird that is alive into the open field. ⁸And he that is having himself cleansed will wash his clothes, and he will shave all his hair, and he will wash himself in water, and he will be clean. And after that he will go to the camp, and he will stay outside his tent for seven days. ⁹And it will come to pass on the seventh day that he will shave all his hair – his head and his chin and his eyebrows. So he will shave off all his hair, and he will wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he will be clean. ¹⁰Then on the eighth day he will take two young lambs without blemish, and one young ewe, one-year-old, without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for the meal-offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. ¹¹And the priest who performs the cleansing will place the man who is having himself cleansed and them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of contact. ¹²And the priest will take one lamb, and he will offer it as a guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and he will wave them as a wave-offering before the Lord. ¹³And he will slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin-offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place, for the guilt-offering is as the sin-offering to the priest. It is a holy of holies. ¹⁴And the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest will put it on the lobe of the right ear of him who is having himself cleansed, and on his right thumb and on his right hand big toe, ¹⁵and the priest will take some of the log of oil, and he will pour it in the palm of the priest's left hand. ¹⁶And the priest will dip his right finger in the oil which is in his left palm, and he will sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord. ¹⁷And the priest will put some of the remainder of the oil which is in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of him who is having himself cleansed, and on his right thumb, and on his right hand big toe, with the blood of the guilt-offering. ¹⁸And as for the remainder of the oil in the priest's palm, he will put it on the head of him who is having himself cleansed, and the priest will atone for him before the Lord. ¹⁹And the priest will perform the sin-offering, and he will atone for him who is having himself cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterwards he will slaughter the burnt offering. ²⁰And the priest will perform the burnt offering and the meal-offering on the altar, and the priest will atone for him, and he will become clean. ²¹But if he is poor and he cannot afford it, he will take one lamb as a guilt-offering, as a wave-offering, to atone for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a meal-offering, and a log of oil, ²²and two turtle-doves or two young pigeons as he is able to afford, and one will be a sin-offering and the other a burnt offering. ²³And he will bring them on the eighth day of his cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of contact before the Lord. ²⁴And the priest will take the lamb of the guilt-offering and the log of oil, and the priest will wave them as a wave-offering before the Lord. ²⁵And he will slaughter the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt-offering, and he will put it on the lobe of the right ear of him who is having himself cleansed, and on his right thumb, and on his right hand big toe. ²⁶And the priest will pour some of the oil into the priest's left palm. ²⁷And the priest will with his right finger sprinkle some of the oil which is in his left palm seven times before the Lord. ²⁸And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of him who is having himself cleansed, and on his right thumb, and on his right hand big toe, at the place of the blood of the guilt-offering. ²⁹And as for the remainder of the oil which is in the priest's palm, he will put it on the head of him who is having himself cleansed, to atone for him before the Lord. ³⁰And he will perform the offering of one of the turtle-doves or young pigeons, whatever he can afford. ³¹He will offer whatever he can afford, one as a sin-offering and one as a burnt offering with a meal-offering, and the priest will atone for him who is having himself cleansed before the Lord. ³²This is the procedure for him who has the affliction of leprosy who cannot afford the animals of his cleansing procedure.” ³³Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron and said, ³⁴“When you go into the land of Canaan which I am giving you as a possession, if I inflict an affliction of leprosy on a house in the land of your possession, ³⁵then he whose house it is will go and tell the priest and say, ‘An affliction seems to have appeared on my house.’ ³⁶And the priest will command that they empty the house before the priest comes to examine the affliction, so that nothing in the house becomes unclean, and after that the priest will come and examine the house. ³⁷And he will examine the affliction, and if the affliction is in the walls of the house, in greenish or reddish hollows, and its profile is recessed in the wall, ³⁸then the priest will go out of the house to the entrance of the house, and he will close the house for seven days. ³⁹Then the priest will return on the seventh day, and he will examine it, and if the affliction has spread in the walls of the house, ⁴⁰then the priest will command that they remove the stones that have the affliction in them, and they will cast them out of the city in an unclean place. ⁴¹And he will have the house scraped inside all around, and they will pour out the dust which they scrape off outside the city in an unclean place. ⁴²And they will take other stones, and they will bring them in place of those stones, and he will take other powder, and he will plaster the house. ⁴³And if the affliction returns, and it flares up in the house after he has removed the stones, and after the scraping of the house and after application of the plaster, ⁴⁴then the priest will come, and he will examine it, and if the affliction has spread in the house, it is a rankling leprosy in the house. It is unclean. ⁴⁵Then he will demolish the house, its stones and its beams, and all the plaster of the house, and he will take it outside the city to an unclean place. ⁴⁶And whoever goes into the house all the time that he shut it up will be unclean until the evening. ⁴⁷And whoever lies in the house will wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house will wash his clothes. ⁴⁸But if the priest comes, as he must, and he examines it, and if the affliction has not spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest will pronounce the house clean, for the affliction has been cured. ⁴⁹And to expiate the house he will take two birds and cedar wood, and scarlet dye, and hyssop. ⁵⁰And he will kill one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water. ⁵¹And he will take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the scarlet dye and the bird that is alive, and he will dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed, and in the running water, and he will sprinkle it on the house seven times. ⁵²And he will expiate 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 dye. ⁵³And he will release the living bird outside the city in the open field, and he will atone for the house, and it will be clean. ⁵⁴This is the procedure for every affliction of leprosy and of scall, ⁵⁵and of leprosy of a garment and of a house, ⁵⁶and of a swelling, and of scurf and of a bright spot, ⁵⁷to teach when a thing is unclean and when a thing is clean. This is the procedure for leprosy.”
