Levítico 14
Biblia Torres Amat
1Habló el Señor a Moisés, diciendo:
2Este es el rito para la purificación del leproso: Será llevado al sacerdote,
3el cual saliendo fuera del campamento, luego que hallare que la lepra está curada,
4mandará al que debe purificarse que ofrezca por sí dos pájaros vivos, de los que se permite comer, y un palo de cedro y grana o lana de este color con hisopo;
5y a uno de los pájaros le mandará degollar en una vasija de barro sobre agua viva.
6Y al otro que ha dejado vivo, le mojará con el palo de cedro, la grana y el hisopo en la sangre del pájaro degollado;
7y con ella rociará siete veces al que debe ser purificado, para que lo sea legítimamente; y soltará al pájaro vivo, para que vuele al campo.
8El hombre después de haber lavado sus vestidos, raerá todos los pelos de su cuerpo y se lavará en agua; y purificado de esta manera entrará en el campamento; pero deberá permanecer siete días fuera de su tienda,
9y al día séptimo se rapará los cabellos de la cabeza, y la barba, y las cejas, y todo el vello del cuerpo; y lavados de nuevo los vestidos y el cuerpo,
10al octavo día tomará dos corderos sin mácula, y una oveja primal también sin defecto, y tres décimas de un efi de harina amasada con aceite para el sacrificio, y además un sextario de aceite.
11Y luego que el sacerdote que purifica al hombre, le hubiere presentado con todas estas cosas al Señor en la puerta del Tabernáculo del Testimonio,
12tomará uno de los corderos, y le ofrecerá por el delito con el sextario de aceite; y ofrecido todo ante el Señor,
13degollará el cordero donde se suele degollar la víctima por el pecado y el holocausto, esto es, en el lugar santo. Porque así como la víctima por el pecado, así también la víctima por el delito pertenece al sacerdote, siendo como es sacrosanta.
14Después el sacerdote tomando de la sangre de la víctima inmolada por el delito, la pondrá sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica y sobre los pulgares de la mano y pie derechos,
15y del sextario de aceite derramará en su mano izquierda,
16y mojará en ella el dedo de su mano derecha, y hará siete aspersiones ante el Señor.
17Lo que quedare de aceite en la mano izquierda, lo echará sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica y sobre los pulgares de la mano y pie derechos, encima de la sangre derramada por el delito,
18y sobre la cabeza del hombre;
19y rogará por él al Señor, y ofrecerá el sacrificio por el pecado en seguida degollará el holocausto,
20y le pondrá en el altar con sus libaciones, y el hombre quedará purificado según ley.
21En caso de ser pobre y no poder hallar las cosas dichas, tomará un cordero para ofrecerle por el delito, a fin de que ruegue por él el sacerdote, y una décima de flor de harina amasada con aceite para el sacrificio, y un sextario de aceite,
22y dos tórtolas o dos pichones, uno por el pecado y otro para holocausto;
23y ofrecerá estas cosas el día octavo de su purificación al sacerdote en la puerta del Tabernáculo del Testimonio ante el Señor;
24y el sacerdote recibiendo el cordero por el delito y el sextario de aceite, los elevará a un mismo tiempo.
25Y degollado el cordero, teñirá con su sangre la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica y los pulgares de la mano y pie derechos.
26Y echará parte del aceite en su mano izquierda;
27en el que mojará el dedo de la mano derecha, y hará siete aspersiones ante el Señor,
28y tocará también la ternilla de la oreja derecha del que se purifica y los pulgares de la mano y pie derechos en el mismo lugar, bañado con la sangre derramada por el delito.
29El resto del aceite que tiene en la mano izquierda, lo echará sobre la cabeza del que se purifica, con el fin de aplacar por él al Señor.
30Igualmente ofrecerá las dos tórtolas, o los dos pichones,
31el uno por el delito y el otro en holocausto con sus libaciones.
32Tal es el sacrificio del leproso que no puede procurarse todas las cosas ordenadas para su purificación.
33Habló todavía el Señor a Moisés y Aarón, diciendo:
34Cuando hubiereis entrado en la tierra de Canaán, cuya posesión os daré yo, si la plaga de la lepra hubiese infestado una casa,
35irá el dueño de ella a dar parte al sacerdote, y dirá: Paréceme que hay en mi casa una como plaga de lepra.
36Y el sacerdote antes de entrar en ella para reconocer si está contagiada, mandará sacar fuera de la casa todas las cosas; a fin de que no quede inmundo todo lo de dentro de la casa. Después entrará para examinar la lepra;
37y si viere en las paredes unos hoyitos y lugares afeados con manchas como de color amarillo o rojo, y más hundidos que los demás de la superficie,
38saldrá de la puerta de la casa, y la dejará inmediatamente cerrada por siete días,
39y volviendo el día séptimo la reconocerá; si hallare que ha cundido la lepra,
40mandará arrancar las piedras en que hay lepra, y arrojarlas fuera de la ciudad en un lugar inmundo,
41y la misma casa raerla toda por dentro, y esparcir las raeduras fuera de la ciudad en un lugar inmundo,
42y reponer otras piedras en lugar de las que se hayan quitado, y revocar de nuevo las paredes de la casa.
43Pero si después de quitadas las piedras, y raído el polvo, y revocada nuevamente la casa,
44entrando el sacerdote viere que ha vuelto la lepra y que las paredes están salpicadas de manchas, la lepra es tenaz y la casa inmunda;
45la derribarán luego, y arrojarán en un lugar inmundo fuera de la ciudad sus piedras, y maderas y todo el escombro.
46Quien entrare en la casa mientras está cerrada, quedará inmundo hasta la tarde;
47y el que durmiere o comiere en ella, lavará sus vestidos.
48Pero si entrando el sacerdote viere que no ha cundido la lepra en la casa después que fue de nuevo revocada, la purificará dándola por sana;
49y para su purificación tomará dos pájaros, un palo de cedro, grana e hisipo;
50y degollado un pájaro en una vasija de barro sobre agua viva,
51cogerá el palo de cedro con el hisopo y la grana, y el pájaro vivo, y mojará todo esto en la sangre del pájaro degollado y en el agua viva, y rociará siete veces la casa,
52purificándola, tanto con la sangre del pájaro, como con el agua viva, y el pájaro vivo, y el palo de cedro, el hisopo y la grana;
53y después de soltado el pájaro, para que libre vuele por la campaña, hará oración por la casa, y quedará purificada según rito.
54Esta es la ley acerca de toda especie de lepra y de llaga que degenera en lepra;
55sobre la lepra de los vestidos y de las casas,
56de las cicatrices y de las postillas que salen fuera, de las manchas relucientes y de las varias mutaciones de colores sobre el cuerpo,
57para que se acierte a discernir cuándo una cosa está limpia o inmunda.
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.
