Leviticus 14
1 ¶ And the LORD spake 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 that 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 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.
8 And 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.
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 meat offering, mingled with
oil, and one log of oil.
11 And 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:
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 the LORD:
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 that 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 the LORD:
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 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:
18 And 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.
19 And 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:
20 And 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.
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 meat offering, 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 the LORD.
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 the LORD:
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 that 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 the LORD:
28 And 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:
29 And 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.
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 meat offering: and
the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed
before the LORD.
32 This 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.
33 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34 When 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;
35 And 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:
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 strakes, 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 without 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 morter, and shall plaister
the house.
43 And 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;
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 morter of the house; and he shall
carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is
shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he
that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 And 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.
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.
