Leviticus Chapter 14

Leviticus Chapter 14
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 This is the law of the leper in the day
of his cleansing: that is, he shall be
brought unto the priest,
3 And the priest shall go out of the camp,
and the priest shall consider him: and if
the plague of leprosy be healed in the
leper,
4 Then shall the priest command to take
for him that is cleansed, two sparrows
alive and clean, and cedar wood and a
scarlet lace, and hyssop. 5 And the
priest shall command to kill one of the
birds over pure water in an earthen
vessel.
6 After, he shall take the live sparrow
with the cedar wood, and the scarlet
lace, and the hyssop, and shall dip them
and the living sparrow in the blood of
the sparrow slain, over the pure water,
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him, that
must be cleansed of his leprosy, seven
times, and cleanse him, and shall let go
the live sparrow into the broad field. 8
Then he that shall be cleansed, shall
wash his clothes, and shave off all his
hair, and wash himself in water, so he
shall be clean: after that shall he come
into the host, but shall tarry without his
tent seven days.
9 So in the seventh day he shall shave
off all his hair, both his head, and his
beard, and his eyebrows: even all his
hair shall he shave, and shall wash his
clothes and shall wash his flesh in
water: so he shall be clean. 10 Then in
the eighth day he shall take two he lambs
without blemish, and an ewe lamb of a
year old without blemish, and three tenth
deals of fine flour for a meat offering,
mingled with oil, and a pint of oil.
11 And the priest that maketh him clean
shall bring the man which is to be made
clean, and those things, before the Lord,
at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
12 Then the priest shall take one lamb,
and offer him for a trespass offering, and
the pint of oil, and shake them to and fro
before the Lord. 13 And he shall kill the
lamb in the place where the sin offering
and the burnt offering are slain, even in
the holy place: for as the sin offering is
the priest’s, so is the trespass offering:
for it is most holy. 14 So the priest shall
take of the blood of the trespass offering,
and put it upon the lap of the right ear of
him that shall be cleansed, and upon the
thumb of his right hand, and upon the
great toe of his right foot. 15 The priest
shall also take of the pint of oil, and
pour it into the palm of his left hand,
16 And the priest shall dip his right
finger in the oil that is in his left hand,
and 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 lap 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, where the
blood of the trespass offering was put.
18 But 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: so 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 of his uncleanness:
then after shall he kill the burnt offering.
20 So the priest shall offer the burnt
offering and the meat offering upon the
altar and the priest shall make an
atonement for him: so he shall be clean.
21 But if he be poor, and not able, then
he shall bring one lamb for a trespass
offering to be shaken, for his
reconciliation, and a tenth deal of fine
flour mingled with oil, for a meat
offering, with a pint of oil.
22 Also two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, as he is able, whereof the one
shall be a sin offering, and the other a
burnt offering,
23 And he shall bring them the eighth
day for his cleansing unto the priest at
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the Lord. 24 Then
the priest shall take the lamb of the
trespass offering, and the pint of oil, and
the priest shall shake them to and fro
before the Lord. 25 And he shall kill the
lamb of the trespass offering, and the
priest shall take of the blood of the
trespass offering, and put it upon the lap
of his right ear that is to be cleansed, and
upon the thumb of his right hand, and
upon the great toe of his right foot.
26 Also the priest shall pour of the oil
into the palm of his own left hand. 27 So
the priest shall with his right finger
sprinkle of the oil that is in his left hand,
seven times before the Lord.
28 Then the priest shall put of the oil that
is in his hand, upon the lap 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 But 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
Also he shall present one of the
turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, as
he is able:
31 Such, I say, as he is able, the one for
a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering with the meat offering: so the
priest shall make an atonement for him
that is to be cleansed before the Lord.
32 This is the law of him which hath the
plague of leprosy, who is not able in his
cleansing to offer the whole.
33 The Lord also spake unto Moses and
to Aaron, saying,
34 When ye be come unto the land of
Canaan which I give you in possession,
if I send the plague of leprosy in an
house of the land of your possession, 35
Then he that owneth the house, shall
come and tell the priest, saying, Me think
there is like a plague of leprosy in the
house.
36 Then the priest shall command them
to 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 then
shall the priest go in to see the house,
37 And he shall mark the plague: and if
the plague be in the walls of the house,
and that there be deep spots, greenish or
reddish, which seem to be lower than the
wall,
38 Then the priest shall go out of the
house to the door of the house, and shall
cause to shut up the house seven days.
39 So the priest shall come again the
seventh day: and if he see that the plague
be increased in the walls of the house,
40 Then the priest shall command them
to take away the stones wherein the
plague is, and they shall cast them into a
foul place without the city. 41 Also he
shall cause to scrape the house within
round about, and pour the dust, that they
have pared off, without the city in an
unclean place. 42 And they shall take
other stones, and put them in the places
of those stones, and shall take other
mortar, to plaster the house with. 43 But
if the plague come again and break out in
the house, after that he hath taken away
the stones, and after that he hath scraped
and plastered the house,
44 Then the priest shall come and see:
and if the plague grows in the house, it is
a fretting leprosy in the house: it is
therefore unclean. 45 And he shall break
down the house, with the stones of it,
and the timber thereof, and all the mortar
of the house, and he shall carry them out
of the city unto an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goeth into the house
all the while that it is shut up, he shall be
unclean until the even.
47 He also that sleepeth in the house
shall wash his clothes: he likewise that
eateth in the house, shall wash his
clothes.
48 But if the priest shall come and see,
that the plague hath spread no further in
the house, after the house be plastered,
the priest shall pronounce that house
clean, for the plague is healed.
49 Then shall he take to purify the house,
two sparrows, and cedar wood, and
scarlet lace, and hyssop.
50 And he shall kill one sparrow over
pure water in an earthen vessel, 51 And
shall take the cedar wood, and the
hyssop, and the scarlet lace with the live
sparrow, and dip them in the blood of
the slain sparrow, and in the pure water,
and sprinkle the house seven times:
52 So shall he cleanse the house with the
blood of the sparrow and with the pure
water, and with the live sparrow, and
with the cedar wood, and with the
hyssop, and with the scarlet lace.
53 Afterward he shall let go the live
sparrow out of the town into the broad
fields: so shall he make atonement for
the house, and it shall be clean. 54 This
is the law for every plague of leprosy
and black spot,
55 And of the leprosy of the garment,
and of the house,
56 And of the swelling, and of the scab,
and of the white spot. 57 This is the law
of the leprosy to teach when a thing is
unclean, and when it is clean.
