Levítico 14
Douay-Rheims Challoner (1752)
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2This is the rite of a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest:
3Who going out of the camp, when he shall find that the leprosy is cleansed,
4Shall command him that is to be purified, to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
5And he shall command one of the sparrows to be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters.
6But the other that is alive, he shall dip, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet and the hyssop, in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated:
7Wherewith he shall sprinkle him that is to be cleansed seven times, that he may be rightly purified. And he shall let go the living sparrow, that it may fly into the field.
8And when the man hath washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair of his body, and shall be washed with water: and being purified he shall enter into the camp, yet so that he tarry without his own tent seven days.
9And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard and his eyebrows, and the hair of all his body. And having washed again his clothes, and his body,
10On the eighth day, he shall take two lambs without blemish, and an ewe of a year old without blemish, and three tenths of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil apart.
11And when the priest that purifieth the man, hath presented him, and all these things before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
12He shall take a lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with the sextary of oil. And having offered all before the Lord,
13He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For as that which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth to the priest: it is holy of holies.
14And the priest taking of the blood of the victim that was immolated for trespass, shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot.
15And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left hand,
16And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times.
17And the rest of the oil in his left hand, he shall pour upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, and upon the blood that was shed for trespass:
18And upon his head.
19And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and shall offer the sacrifice for sin. Then shall he immolate the holocaust.
20And put it on the altar with the libations thereof: and the man shall be rightly cleansed.
21But if he be poor, and his hand cannot find the things aforesaid: he shall take a lamb for an offering for trespass, that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil:
22And two turtles or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other for a holocaust.
23And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord.
24And the priest receiving the lamb for trespass, and the sextary of oil, shall elevate them together.
25And the lamb being immolated, he shall put of the blood thereof upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and the great toe of his right foot.
26But he shall pour part of the oil into his own left hand,
27And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord.
28And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, in the place of the blood that was shed for trespass.
29And the other part of the oil that is in his left hand, he shall pour upon the head of the purified person, that he may appease the Lord for him.
30And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon:
31One for trespass, and the other for a holocaust, with their libations.
32This is the sacrifice of a leper, that is not able to have all things that appertain to his cleansing.
33And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
34When you shall come into the land of Chanaan, which I will give you for a possession, if there be the plague or leprosy in a house:
35He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house,
36And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, let all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of the house.
37And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all he rest:
38He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days,
39And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread,
40He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place:
41And that the house be scraped on the inside round about, and the dust of the scrapings be scattered without the city into an unclean place:
42And that other stones be laid in the place of them that were taken away, and the house be plastered with other mortar.
43But if after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth.
44The priest going in perceive that the leprosy is returned, and the walls full of spots, it is a lasting leprosy, and the house is unclean.
45And they shall destroy it forthwith, and shall cast the stones and timber thereof, and all the dust without the town into an unclean place.
46He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until evening,
47And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes.
48But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, it being cured.
49And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
50And having immolated one sparrow in an earthen vessel, over living waters,
51He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and shall dip all in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated, and in the living water: and he shall sprinkle the house seven times.
52And shall purify it as well with the blood of the sparrow, as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and with the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet.
53And when he hath let go the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house: and it shall be rightly cleansed.
54This is the law of every kind of leprosy and stroke.
55Of the leprosy of garments and houses,
56Of a scar and of blisters breaking out of a shining spot, and when the colours are diversely changed:
57That it may be known when a thing is clean or unclean.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2Esta será la ley del leproso cuando se limpiare: Será traído al sacerdote:
3Y el sacerdote saldrá fuera del real; y mirará el sacerdote, y viendo que está sana la plaga de la lepra del leproso,
4El sacerdote mandará luego que se tomen para el que se purifica dos avecillas vivas, limpias, y palo de cedro, y grana, é hisopo;
5Y mandará el sacerdote matar la una avecilla en un vaso de barro sobre aguas vivas;
6Después tomará la avecilla viva, y el palo de cedro, y la grana, y el hisopo, y lo mojará con la avecilla viva en la sangre de la avecilla muerta sobre las aguas vivas:
7Y rociará siete veces sobre el que se purifica de la lepra, y le dará por limpio; y soltará la avecilla viva sobre la haz del campo.
8Y el que se purifica lavará sus vestidos, y raerá todos sus pelos, y se ha de lavar con agua, y será limpio: y después entrará en el real, y morará fuera de su tienda siete días.
9Y será, que al séptimo día raerá todos sus pelos, su cabeza, y su barba, y las cejas de sus ojos; finalmente, raerá todo su pelo, y lavará sus vestidos, y lavará su carne en aguas, y será limpio.
10Y el día octavo tomará dos corderos sin defecto, y una cordera de un año sin tacha; y tres décimas de flor de harina para presente, amasada con aceite, y un log de aceite.
11Y el sacerdote que le purifica presentará con aquellas cosas al que se ha de limpiar delante de Jehová, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio:
12Y tomará el sacerdote el un cordero, y ofrecerálo por la culpa, con el log de aceite, y lo mecerá como ofrenda agitada delante de Jehová:
13Y degollará el cordero en el lugar donde degüellan la víctima por el pecado y el holocausto, en el lugar del santuario: porque como la víctima por el pecado, así también la víctima por la culpa es del sacerdote: es cosa muy sagrada.
14Y tomará el sacerdote de la sangre de la víctima por la culpa, y pondrá el sacerdote sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho.
15Asimismo tomará el sacerdote del log de aceite, y echará sobre la palma de su mano izquierda:
16Y mojará su dedo derecho en el aceite que tiene en su mano izquierda, y esparcirá del aceite con su dedo siete veces delante de Jehová:
17Y de lo que quedare del aceite que tiene en su mano, pondrá el sacerdote sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho, sobre la sangre de la expiación por la culpa:
18Y lo que quedare del aceite que tiene en su mano, pondrá sobre la cabeza del que se purifica: y hará el sacerdote expiación por él delante de Jehová.
19Ofrecerá luego el sacerdote el sacrificio por el pecado, y hará expiación por el que se ha de purificar de su inmundicia, y después degollará el holocausto:
20Y hará subir el sacerdote el holocausto y el presente sobre el altar. Así hará el sacerdote expiación por él, y será limpio.
21Mas si fuere pobre, que no alcanzare su mano á tanto, entonces tomará un cordero para ser ofrecido como ofrenda agitada por la culpa, para reconciliarse, y una décima de flor de harina amasada con aceite para presente, y un log de aceite;
22Y dos tórtolas, ó dos palominos, lo que alcanzare su mano: y el uno será para expiación por el pecado, y el otro para holocausto;
23Las cuales cosas traerá al octavo día de su purificación al sacerdote, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio delante de Jehová.
24Y el sacerdote tomará el cordero de la expiación por la culpa, y el log de aceite, y mecerálo el sacerdote como ofrenda agitada delante de Jehová;
25Luego degollará el cordero de la culpa, y tomará el sacerdote de la sangre de la culpa, y pondrá sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho.
26Y el sacerdote echará del aceite sobre la palma de su mano izquierda;
27Y con su dedo derecho rociará el sacerdote del aceite que tiene en su mano izquierda, siete veces delante de Jehová.
28También pondrá el sacerdote del aceite que tiene en su mano sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el pulgar de su pie derecho, en el lugar de la sangre de la culpa.
29Y lo que sobrare del aceite que el sacerdote tiene en su mano, pondrálo sobre la cabeza del que se purifica, para reconciliarlo delante de Jehová.
30Asimismo ofrecerá la una de las tórtolas, ó de los palominos, lo que alcanzare su mano:
31El uno de lo que alcanzare su mano, en expiación por el pecado, y el otro en holocausto, además del presente: y hará el sacerdote expiación por el que se ha de purificar, delante de Jehová.
32Esta es la ley del que hubiere tenido plaga de lepra, cuya mano no alcanzare lo prescrito para purificarse.
33Y habló Jehová á Moisés y á Aarón, diciendo:
34Cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra de Canaán, la cual yo os doy en posesión, y pusiere yo plaga de lepra en alguna casa de la tierra de vuestra posesión,
35Vendrá aquél cuya fuere la casa, y dará aviso al sacerdote, diciendo: Como plaga ha aparecido en mi casa.
36Entonces mandará el sacerdote, y despejarán la casa antes que el sacerdote entre á mirar la plaga, porque no sea contaminado todo lo que estuviere en la casa: y después el sacerdote entrará á reconocer la casa:
37Y mirará la plaga: y si se vieren manchas en las paredes de la casa, cavernillas verdosas ó rojas, las cuales parecieren más hundidas que la pared,
38El sacerdote saldrá de la casa á la puerta de ella, y cerrará la casa por siete días.
39Y al séptimo día volverá el sacerdote, y mirará: y si la plaga hubiere crecido en las paredes de la casa,
40Entonces mandará el sacerdote, y arrancarán las piedras en que estuviere la plaga, y las echarán fuera de la ciudad, en lugar inmundo:
41Y hará descostrar la casa por dentro alrededor, y derramarán el polvo que descostraren, fuera de la ciudad en lugar inmundo:
42Y tomarán otras piedras, y las pondrán en lugar de las piedras quitadas; y tomarán otro barro, y encostrarán la casa.
43Y si la plaga volviere á reverdecer en aquella casa, después que hizo arrancar las piedras, y descostrar la casa, y después que fué encostrada,
44Entonces el sacerdote entrará y mirará; y si pareciere haberse extendido la plaga en la casa, lepra roedora está en la casa: inmunda es.
45Derribará, por tanto, la tal casa, sus piedras, y sus maderos, y toda la mezcla de la casa; y lo sacará fuera de la ciudad á lugar inmundo.
46Y cualquiera que entrare en aquella casa todos los días que la mandó cerrar, será inmundo hasta la tarde.
47Y el que durmiere en aquella casa, lavará sus vestidos; también el que comiere en la casa, lavará sus vestidos.
48Mas si entrare el sacerdote y mirare, y viere que la plaga no se ha extendido en la casa después que fué encostrada, el sacerdote dará la casa por limpia, porque la plaga ha sanado.
49Entonces tomará para limpiar la casa dos avecillas, y palo de cedro, y grana, é hisopo:
50Y degollará la una avecilla en una vasija de barro sobre aguas vivas:
51Y tomará el palo de cedro, y el hisopo, y la grana, y la avecilla viva, y mojarálo en la sangre de la avecilla muerta y en las aguas vivas, y rociará la casa siete veces:
52Y purificará la casa con la sangre de la avecilla, y con las aguas vivas, y con la avecilla viva, y el palo de cedro, y el hisopo, y la grana:
53Luego soltará la avecilla viva fuera de la ciudad sobre la haz del campo: así hará expiación por la casa, y será limpia.
54Esta es la ley acerca de toda plaga de lepra, y de tiña;
55Y de la lepra del vestido, y de la casa;
56Y acerca de la hinchazón, y de la postilla, y de la mancha blanca:
57Para enseñar cuándo es inmundo, y cuándo limpio. Aquesta es la ley tocante á la lepra.
King James Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
3And 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;
4Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
5And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
6As 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:
7And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
8And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
9But 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, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
10And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
12And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
13And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:
14And the priest shall take some 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:
15And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
16And 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 the LORD:
17And 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:
18And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
19And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:
20And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;
22And two turtledoves, 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.
23And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
24And 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 the LORD:
25And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some 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:
26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
28And 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:
29And 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 an atonement for him before the LORD.
30And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
31Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
32This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
33And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34When ye be 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;
35And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it 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:
37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
41And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
42And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
43And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
44Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
45And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
51And 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:
52And 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:
53But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
55And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
56And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
57To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
World English Bible
1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2“This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest,
3and the priest shall go out of the camp. The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
4then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.
5The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
6As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood, 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.
7He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
8“He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
9It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows. He shall shave off all his hair. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water. Then he shall be clean.
10“On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without defect, one ewe lamb a year old without defect, three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
11The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
12“The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
13He shall kill the male 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.
14The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it 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 big toe of his right foot.
15The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
16The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.
17The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand 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 big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.
18The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
19“The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;
20then the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21“If he is poor, and can’t afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;
22and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23“On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the LORD.
24The 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 the LORD.
25He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it 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 big toe of his right foot.
26The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;
27and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD.
28Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand 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 big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
29The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
30He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, which ever he is able to afford,
31of the kind he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD.”
32This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
33The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
34“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,
35then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’
36The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
37He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall,
38then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
39The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
40then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city.
41He shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over. They shall pour out the mortar that they scraped off outside of the city into an unclean place.
42They 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“If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered,
44then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.
45He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
46“Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
47He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48“If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.
50He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
51He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, 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.
52He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;
53but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”
54This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
55and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,
56and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
57to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
