Leviticus 14:1-57 LITV And Jehovah (  יהוה  ) spoke to Moses, saying, (2) This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing, that he shall be brought to the priest. (3) And the priest shall go out to the outside of the camp. And the priest shall look; and, behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper, (4) then the priest shall command, and he shall take for him who is to be cleansed two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. (5) And the priest shall command, and he shall kill the one bird on an earthen vessel, over running water; (6) he shall take the living bird, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the slain bird, over the running water. (7) And he shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean. And he shall send out the living bird into the open field. (8) And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his garments, and shall shave all his hair, and shall bathe with water, and shall be clean. And afterwards he shall come into the camp, and shall live on the outside of his tent seven days. (9) And it shall be on the seventh day, he shall shave all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows; he shall even shave all his hair. And he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his flesh with water, and shall be clean. (10) And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb, daughter of a year, without blemish, and three tenth parts of flour for a food offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. (11) And the priest who is cleansing, and the man who is to be cleansed, shall stand with them before Jehovah (  יהוה  ), at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. (12) And the priest shall take the one male lamb and shall bring it near for a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and shall wave them as a wave offering before Jehovah (  יהוה  ). (13) And he shall kill the lamb in the place where he killed the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place. For like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy. (14) And the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt 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. (15) And the priest shall take some of the log of oil and shall pour it on the left hand of the priest. (16) And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil on his left palm and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah (  יהוה  ). (17) And of the rest of the oil on his palm, the priest shall 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 big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt offering; (18) and the rest of the oil on the palm of the priest, he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed. And the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah (  יהוה  ). (19) And the priest shall make a sin offering, and shall atone for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. And afterwards he shall slaughter the burnt offering; (20) and the priest shall offer the burnt offering, and the food offering, on the altar; and the priest shall make atonement for him; and he shall be clean. (21) And if he is poor, and his hand is not able to reach these things, then he shall take one lamb as a guilt offering, for a wave offering, to atone for himself, and one tenth part of flour mixed with oil for a food offering, and a log of oil, (22) and two turtledoves, or two young doves, which his hand can reach; and one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. (23) And he shall bring them in to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before Jehovah (  יהוה  ). (24) And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before Jehovah (  יהוה  ); (25) and he shall kill the lamb of the guilt offering; and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and he 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. (26) And the priest shall pour the oil on the left hand of the priest; (27) and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil on his palm, seven times before Jehovah (  יהוה  ). (28) And the priest shall put some of the oil on his palm on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering. (29) And the rest of the oil on the priest's palm he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to atone for him, before Jehovah (  יהוה  ). (30) And he shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young doves, from that which he is able to reach; (31) that which his hand has reached out to, the one a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering, besides the food offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Jehovah (  יהוה  ). (32) This is the law of him in whom is a plague of leprosy whose hand could not reach to his cleansing. (33) And Jehovah (  יהוה  ) spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, (34) When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in the house in the land of your possession; (35) then if he who owns the house shall come in and declare to the priest, saying, I have seen a plague in the house. (36) And the priest shall command, and they shall turn out from the house before the priest comes in to see the plague that all in the house may not be unclean; and afterwards the priest shall come in to see the house. (37) And he shall look upon the plague; and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with depressions greenish or reddish, and the appearance of it is 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 has 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 throw them into an unclean place outside the city. (41) And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside all around, and they shall pour out the dust which they have scraped off at the outside of the city, at an unclean place. (42) And they shall take other stones and bring them in to the place of the stones; and he shall take other clay and shall plaster the house. (43) And if the plague returns and breaks out in the house after he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it has been plastered, (44) then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a corroding leprosy in the house; it is unclean. (45) And he shall break down the house; its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house; and he shall carry it out to the outside of the city, to an unclean place. (46) And he who goes into the house all the days he has shut it up shall be unclean until the evening. (47) And he who lies in the house shall wash his clothes and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes. (48) And if the priest shall come in and carefully look, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean; for the plague has been healed. (49) And he shall take two birds for the cleansing of the house, and cedar wood, and scarlet dye, and hyssop; (50) and he shall kill the one bird on 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 shall dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and shall sprinkle on 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 dye; (53) and he shall send away the living bird to the outside of the city, to the open field, and shall atone for the house; and it shall be clean. (54) This is the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scabs; (55) and for leprosy of a garment, and of 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.

Leviticus 14:1-57 GNB The LORD (  יהוה  ) gave Moses (2) the following regulations about the ritual purification of those of you cured of a dreaded skin disease. On the day you are to be pronounced clean, you shall be brought to the priest, (3) and the priest shall take you outside the camp and examine you. If the disease is healed, (4) the priest shall order that two ritually clean birds be brought, along with a piece of cedar wood, a red cord, and a sprig of hyssop. (5) Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over a clay bowl containing fresh spring water. (6) He shall take the other bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the red cord, and the hyssop, in the blood of the bird that was killed. (7) He shall sprinkle the blood seven times on the one of you who is to be purified from your skin disease, and then he shall pronounce you clean. He shall let the live bird fly away over the open fields. (8) You shall wash your clothes, shave off all your hair, and take a bath; you will then be ritually clean. You may enter the camp, but you must live outside your tent for seven days. (9) On the seventh day you shall again shave your head, your beard, your eyebrows, and all the rest of the hair on your body; you shall wash your clothes and take a bath, and then you will be ritually clean. (10) On the eighth day you shall bring two male lambs and one female lamb a year old that are without any defects, five pounds of flour mixed with olive oil, and half a pint of olive oil. (11) The priest shall take you and these offerings to the entrance of the Tent of the LORD's (  יהוה  ) presence. (12) Then the priest shall take one of the male lambs and together with the half pint of oil he shall offer it as a repayment offering. He shall present them as a special gift to the LORD (  יהוה  ) for the priest. (13) He shall kill the lamb in the holy place where the animals for the sin offerings and the burnt offerings are killed. He must do this because the repayment offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest and is very holy. (14) The priest shall take some of the blood of the lamb and put it on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one of you to be declared ritually clean. (15) The priest shall take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand, (16) dip a finger of his right hand in it, and sprinkle some of it seven times there in the LORD's (  יהוה  ) presence. (17) He shall take some of the oil that is in the palm of his hand and some of the blood of the lamb and put them on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one of you to be declared ritually clean. (18) He shall put the rest of the oil that is in the palm of his hand on your head. In this way he shall perform the ritual of purification. (19) Then the priest shall offer the sin offering and perform the ritual of purification. After that, he shall kill the animal for the burnt offering (20) and offer it with the grain offering on the altar. In this way the priest shall perform the ritual of purification, and you will be ritually clean. (21) If you are poor and cannot afford any more, you shall bring for your purification only one male lamb as your repayment offering, a special gift to the LORD (  יהוה  ) for the priest. You shall bring only two pounds of flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering and half a pint of olive oil. (22) You shall also bring two doves or two pigeons, one for the sin offering and one for the burnt offering. (23) On the eighth day of your purification you shall bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent. (24) The priest shall take the lamb and the olive oil and present them as a special gift to the LORD (  יהוה  ) for the priest. (25) He shall kill the lamb and take some of the blood and put it on the lobe of your right ear, on the thumb of your right hand, and on the big toe of your right foot. (26) The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand (27) and with a finger of his right hand sprinkle some of it seven times there in the LORD's (  יהוה  ) presence. (28) He shall put some of the oil on the same places he put the blood: on the lobe of your right ear, on the thumb of your right hand, and on the big toe of your right foot. (29) The rest of the oil that is in his palm he shall put on your head and in this way perform the ritual of purification. (30) Then he shall offer one of the doves or pigeons (31) as the sin offering and the other as the burnt offering with the grain offering. In this way the priest shall perform the ritual of purification. (32) This is the law for those who have a dreaded skin disease but who cannot afford the normal offerings required for his purification. (33) The LORD (  יהוה  ) gave Moses and Aaron (34) the following regulations about houses affected by spreading mildew. (These were to apply after the people of Israel entered the land of Canaan, which the LORD (  יהוה  ) was going to give them as their possession.) If any of you find that the LORD (  יהוה  ) has sent mildew on your house, then you must go and tell the priest about it. (35) (SEE 14:34) (36) The priest shall order everything to be moved out of the house before he goes to examine the mildew; otherwise everything in the house will be declared unclean. Then he shall go to the house (37) and examine the mildew. If there are greenish or reddish spots that appear to be eating into the wall, (38) he shall leave the house and lock it up for seven days. (39) On the seventh day he shall return and examine it again. If the mildew has spread, (40) he shall order that the stones on which the mildew is found be removed and thrown into some unclean place outside the city. (41) After that he must have all the interior walls scraped and the plaster dumped in an unclean place outside the city. (42) Then other stones are to be used to replace the stones that were removed, and new plaster will be used to cover the walls. (43) If the mildew breaks out again in the house after the stones have been removed and the house has been scraped and plastered, (44) the priest shall go and look. If it has spread, the house is unclean. (45) It must be torn down, and its stones, its wood, and all its plaster must be carried out of the city to an unclean place. (46) Any who enter the house while it is locked up will be unclean until evening. (47) Any who lie down or eat in the house must wash their clothes. (48) If, when the priest comes to look, the mildew has not reappeared after the house has been replastered, he shall pronounce the house ritually clean, because the mildew has been completely removed. (49) To purify the house, he shall take two birds, some cedar wood, a red cord, and a sprig of hyssop. (50) He shall kill one of the birds over a clay bowl containing fresh spring water. (51) Then he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red cord, and the live bird and shall dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed and in the fresh water. And he shall sprinkle the house seven times. (52) In this way he shall purify the house with the bird's blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the red cord. (53) Then he shall let the live bird fly away outside the city over the open fields. In this way he shall perform the ritual of purification for the house, and it will be ritually clean. (54) These are the laws about dreaded skin diseases; (55) sores, boils, or inflammations; and about mildew in clothes or houses. (56) (SEE 14:55) (57) These laws determine when something is unclean and when it is clean.
