Leviticus

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.
