* And the Lord spoke unto Moses , saying , * This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his being cleansed : He shall be brought unto the priest . * And the priest shall go forth to without the camp ; and if the priest see , and , behold , the plague of leprosy be healed on the leper : * Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two healthy , clean birds , and cedar wood , and a string of scarlet yarn , and hyssop . * And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water . * As for the living bird , he shall take it , and the cedar wood , and the string of scarlet yarn , and the hyssop , and he shall dip these and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water : * And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times ; and when he hath cleansed him , he shall let the living bird fly forth into the open field . * And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes , and shave off all his hair , and wash himself in water , and he shall be clean , and after that he may come into the camp ; but he shall tarry outside of his tent seven days . * And it shall be on the seventh day , that he shall shave off all his hair , his head , and his beard , and his eyebrows , even all his hair shall he shave off : and he shall wash his clothes , he shall also wash his flesh in water , when he shall be clean . * And on the eighth day he shall take two sheep without blemish , and one ewe of the first year without blemish , and three –tenth parts of fine flour for a meat –offering , mingled with oil , and one log of oil . * And the priest who cleanseth shall cause the man that is to be made clean , and these things , to stand before the Lord , at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation : * And the priest shall take the one sheep , and offer the same for a trespass –offering , with the log of oil ; and he shall make with them a waving before the Lord . * And he shall slay the sheep on the place where the sin –offering and the burnt –offering are killed , in the holy place ; for as the sin –offering so doth the trespass –offering belong to the priest : it is most holy . * 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 . * And the priest shall take some of the log of oil , and pour it into the palm of his own left hand . * And the priest shall dip his finger of the right hand in the oil that is in his left hand , and he shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord . * 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 . * And what is left of the oil that is in the priest ’s hand , he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed : and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord . * And the priest shall prepare the sin –offering , and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness ; and afterward shall he kill the burnt –offering : * 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 . * But if he be poor , and his means do not suffice , then shall he take one sheep for a trespass –offering to be waved , to make an atonement for him ; and one –tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat –offering , and a log of oil ; * And two turtle –doves , or two young pigeons , for which his means suffice ; and one shall be a sin –offering , and the other a burnt –offering . * And he shall bring them on the eighth day of his being cleansed unto the priest , unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , before the Lord . * And the priest shall take the sheep of the trespass –offering , and the log of oil ; and the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord . * And he shall kill the sheep 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 . * And some of the oil shall the priest pour into the palm of his own left hand : * And the priest shall sprinkle with his finger of the right hand some of the oil that is in his left hand , seven times before the Lord ; * 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 ; * And what is left 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 . * And he shall offer the one of the turtle –doves , or of the young pigeons , from what his means enable him ; * Even what his means enable him , 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 . * This is the law of him on whom is the plague of leprosy , whose means are not sufficient when he is cleansed . * And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron , saying , * When ye come into the land of Canaan , which I give to you for a possession , and I put the plague of leprosy on a house of the land of your possession : * Then shall he that owneth the house come and tell the priest , saying , Something like a leprosy hath shown itself to me in the house . * And the priest shall command that they clear out the house , before the priest go into it to see the plague , that all be not made unclean that is in the house : and after this shall the priest go in to see the house . * And he shall view the plague , and , behold , if the plague be in the walls of the house , in depressions , dark green or dark red , and their appearance be deeper than the wall : * Then shall the priest go out of the house to the door of the house , and lock up the house seven days . * And the priest shall come again on the seventh day ; and if he see , that , behold , the plague have spread in the walls of the house : * Then shall the priest command that they break out the stones on which the plague is ; and they shall cast them forth without the city on an unclean place . * And the house he shall cause to be scraped within round about ; and they shall pour out the rubbish that they have scraped off without the city on an unclean place . * And they shall take other stones , and put them into the place of these stones ; and other mortar shall he take , and shall plaster the house . * And if the plague come again , and break out in the house , after he hath taken away the stones , and after the house hath been scraped , and after it hath been plastered : * Then shall the priest come ; and if he see that , behold , the plague have spread in the house , it is a corrosive leprosy in the house ; it is unclean . * And he shall break down the house , its stones , and the timbers thereof , and all the mortar of the house ; and he shall carry them forth to without the city , unto an unclean place . * And he that goeth into the house , all the days that it is locked up , shall be unclean until the evening . * And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes ; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes . * But if the priest should come in , and see , and , behold , the plague have not spread in the house , after the house was plastered : then shall the priest pronounce the house clean , because the plague is healed . * And he shall take , to atone for the house , two birds , and cedar wood , and a string of scarlet yarn , and hyssop ; * And he shall kill the one bird in an earthen vessel over running water ; * And he shall take the cedar wood , and the hyssop , and the scarlet yarn , and the living bird , and dip them in the blood of the slain bird , and in the running water , and sprinkle on the house seven times : * And he shall atone for 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 string of scarlet yarn ; * But he shall let fly forth the living bird out of the city into the open field , and make an atonement for the house , and it shall be clean . * This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy , and scall , * And for the leprosy of a garment and of a house , * And for a swelling , and for a rising , and for a bright spot ; * To teach on the day when something is unclean , and on the day when it is clean : this is the law of the leprosy .
