Leviticus 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 The LORD said to Moses,	1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 "This is the law for the victim of leprosy at the time of his purification. He shall be brought to the priest,	2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
3 who is to go outside the camp to examine him. If the priest finds that the sore of leprosy has healed in the leper,	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 he shall order the man who is to be purified, to get two live, clean birds, as well as some cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop.	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 The priest shall then order him to slay one of the birds over an earthen vessel with spring water in it.	5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
6 Taking the living bird with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, the priest shall dip them all in the blood of the bird that was slain over the spring 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 then sprinkle seven times the man to be purified from his leprosy. When he has thus purified him, he shall let the living bird fly away over the countryside.	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 The man being purified shall then wash his garments and shave off all his hair and bathe in water; only when he is thus made clean may he come inside the camp; but he shall still remain outside his tent for seven days.	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 On the seventh day he shall again shave off all the hair of his head, his beard, his eyebrows, and any other hair he may have, and also wash his garments and bathe his body in water; and so he will be clean.	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 "On the eighth day he shall take two unblemished male lambs, one unblemished yearling ewe lamb, three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a cereal offering, and one log of oil.	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 The priest who performs the purification ceremony shall place the man who is being purified, as well as all these offerings, before the LORD at the entrance of the meeting tent.	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 Taking one of the male lambs, the priest shall present it as a guilt offering, along with the log of oil, waving them as a wave offering before the LORD.	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 (This lamb he shall slaughter in the sacred place where the sin offering and the holocaust are slaughtered; because, like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest and is most sacred.)	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 Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the tip of the man's right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot.	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 The priest shall also take the log of oil and pour some of it into the palm of his own left hand;	15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
16 then, dipping his right forefinger in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the LORD.	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 Of the oil left in his hand the priest shall put some on the tip of the man's right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot, over the blood of the guilt offering.	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 The rest of the oil in his hand the priest shall put on the head of the man being purified. Thus shall the priest make atonement for him before the LORD.	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 Only after he has offered the sin offering in atonement for the man's uncleanness shall the priest slaughter the holocaust	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 offer it, together with the cereal offering, on the altar before the LORD. When the priest has thus made atonement for him, the man will be clean.	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 "If a man is poor and cannot afford so much, he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering, to be used as a wave offering in atonement for himself, one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a cereal offering, a log of oil,	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 pigeons, which he can more easily afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a holocaust.	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 On the eighth day of his purification he shall bring them to the priest, at the entrance of the meeting tent before the LORD.	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 Taking the guilt-offering lamb, along with the log of oil, the priest shall wave them as a wave offering 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 When he has slaughtered the guilt-offering lamb, he shall take some of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of the man being purified, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.	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 The priest shall then pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand	26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
27 and with his right forefinger sprinkle it seven times before the LORD.	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 Some of the oil in his hand the priest shall also put on the tip of the man's right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot, over the blood of the guilt offering.	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 The rest of the oil in his hand the priest shall put on the man's head. Thus shall he make atonement for him before the LORD.	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 Then, of the turtledoves or pigeons, such as the man can afford,	30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
31 the priest shall offer up one as a sin offering and the other as a holocaust, along with the cereal offering. Thus shall the priest make atonement before the LORD for the man who is to be purified.	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 for one afflicted with leprosy who has insufficient means for his purification."	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 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,	33 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34 "When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you to possess, if I put a leprous infection on any house of the land you occupy,	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 the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, 'It looks to me as if my house were infected.'	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 The priest shall then order the house to be cleared out before he goes in to examine the infection, lest everything in the house become unclean. Only after this is he to go in to examine 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 If the priest, on examining it, finds that the infection on the walls of the house consists of greenish or reddish depressions which seem to go deeper than the surface of the wall,	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 he shall close the door of the house behind him and quarantine the house for seven days.	38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
39 On the seventh day the priest shall return to examine the house again. If he finds that the infection has spread on the walls,	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 he shall order the infected stones to be pulled out and cast in an unclean place outside the city.	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 The whole inside of the house shall then be scraped, and the mortar that has been scraped off shall be dumped in an unclean place outside 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 Then new stones shall be brought and put in the place of the old stones, and new mortar shall be made and plastered on the house.	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 "If the infection breaks out once more after the stones have been pulled out and the house has been scraped and replastered,	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 the priest shall come again; and if he finds that the infection has spread in the house, it is corrosive leprosy, and the house is unclean.	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 It shall be pulled down, and all its stones, beams and mortar shall be hauled away to an unclean place outside the city.	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 Whoever enters a house while it is quarantined shall be unclean until evening.	46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47 Whoever sleeps or eats in such a house shall also wash his garments.	47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 If the priest finds, when he comes to examine the house, that the infection has in fact not spread after the plastering, he shall declare the house clean, since the infection has been healed.	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 To purify the house, he shall take two birds, as well as cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop.	49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50 One of the birds he shall slay over an earthen vessel with spring water in it.	50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
51 Then, taking the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn, together with the living bird, he shall dip them all in the blood of the slain bird and the spring water, and sprinkle the house seven times.	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 Thus shall he purify the house with the bird's blood and the spring water, along with the living bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn.	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 He shall then let the living bird fly away over the countryside outside the city. When he has thus made atonement for it, the house will be clean.	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 every kind of human leprosy and scall,	54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
55 for leprosy of garments and houses,	55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
56 as well as for scabs, pustules and blotches,	56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
57 so that it may be manifest when there is a state of uncleanness and when a state of cleanness. This is the law for leprosy."	57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
