Leviticus Chapter 14

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.
