“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.” (Le
14:1-57 AV)
