Leviticus
Chapter
14
1
And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses, saying, 2
This
shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing.
He
shall be brought unto the priest.
3
And 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; 4
then
shall the priest command to take for him
who
is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean,
and
cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
5
And the priest shall command
that
one of the birds be killed
in
an earthen vessel over running water.
6
As 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.
7
And he shall sprinkle upon him
who
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.
8
And he who 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 delay/tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
9
But 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.
10
And 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 'gift/grain offering' {minchah},
mingled
with oil, and one log of oil.
11
And the priest that makes him clean
shall
present the man that is to be made clean,
and
those things, before Jehovah/God,
at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
12
And 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
Jehovah/God.
13
And 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.
14
And 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
who
is to be cleansed,
and
upon the thumb of his right hand,
and
upon the great toe of his right foot.
15
And the priest shall take some of the log of oil,
and
pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
16
And 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 Jehovah/God.
17
And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand
shall
the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him
who
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.
18
And the remnant of the oil
that
is in the priest's hand
he
shall pour upon the head of him
who
is to be cleansed.
And
the priest shall make an atonement
for
him before Jehovah/God.
19
And the priest shall offer the sin offering,
and
make an atonement for him
who
is to be cleansed from his uncleanness;
and
afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.
20
And the priest shall offer the burnt offering
and
the 'gift/grain offering' {minchah} upon the altar.
And
the priest shall make an atonement for him,
and
he shall be clean.
21
And 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 'gift/grain offering' {minchah}, and a log of oil.
22
And 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.
23
And he shall bring them on the eighth day
for
his cleansing unto the priest,
unto
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
before
Jehovah/God.
24
And 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 Jehovah/God.
