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.
