Leviticus

Chapter 14 (Continued)

25 And 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 who is to be cleansed,
and upon the thumb of his right hand,
and upon the great toe of his right foot.

26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm
of his own left hand.

27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger
some of the oil that is in his left hand
seven times before Jehovah/God.

28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand
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 place of the blood of the trespass offering.

29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand
he shall put upon the head of him
who is to be cleansed,
to make an atonement for him before Jehovah/God.

30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves,
or of the young pigeons, such as he can get.

31 Even such as he is able to get,
the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering,
with the 'gift/grain offering' {minchah}.

And the priest shall make an atonement for him
who is to be cleansed before Jehovah/God.

32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy,
whose hand is not able to get that which pertains to his cleansing.

33 And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
  {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 34
When you 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;
35 And he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying,
It seems to me there is as it were a plague in the house.

36 Then 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.

37 And he shall look on the plague,
and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house
with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish,
which in sight are 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 be spread in the walls of the house.

40 Then 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.

41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about,
and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off
outside the city into an unclean place.

42 And they 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 And if the plague come again,
and break out in the house,
after that he has taken away the stones,
and after he has scraped the house,
and after it is plastered; 44
then 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.

45 And he shall break down the house,
the stones of it, and the timber thereof,
and all the mortar of the house;
and he shall carry them forth out of the city
into an unclean place.

46 Moreover he who goes into the house
all the while that it is shut 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 look upon it,
and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house,
after the house was plastered.

Then the priest shall pronounce the house clean,
because the plague is healed.

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds,
and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

50 And he shall kill the one of the birds
in 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 dip them in the blood of the slain bird,
and in the running water, and sprinkle 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.

53 But 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.

54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 55 and for the 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.
