3 qui egressus e castris, cum invenerit lepram esse sanatam,	3 and the priest wil go outside the camp. If he finds on examination that the person has recovered fromthe disease,

8 Cumque laverit homo vestimenta sua, radet omnes pilos corporis, et lavabitur aqua; purificatusque ingredietur castra, ita dumtaxat ut maneat extra tabernaculum suum septem diebus.	8 The person who is being purified will then wash al clothing, shave off al hair, and wash, and wil thenbe clean. After this he will return to the camp, although he wil remain outside his tent for seven days.

After washing his clothing and his body he wil be clean.

13 immolabit agnum, ubi immolari solet hostia pro peccato et holocaustum, id est in loco sancto. Sicut enim pro peccato ita et pro delicto ad sacerdotem pertinet sacrificium: sanctum sanctorum est.	13 He wil then slaughter the lamb on that spot inside the holy place where the victims for the sacrificefor sin and for the burnt offering are slaughtered. This reparatory offering, like the sacrifice for sin, wil revert tothe priest: it is especially holy.
14 Assumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiae pro delicto ponet super extremum auriculae dextrae eius, qui mundatur, et super pollices manus dextrae et pedis;	14 The priest wil then take some blood of this sacrifice and put it on the lobe of the right ear, the thumbof the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person who is being purified.

20 et ponet illud in altari cum sacrificio similae, et homo rite mundabitur.	20 and offer this and the cereal offering on the altar. So, when the priest has performed the rite ofexpiation for him the person wil be clean.
21 Quod si pauper est, et non potest manus eius invenire, quae dicta sunt, assumet agnum pro delicto ad elationem, ut expiet eum sacerdos, decimamque partem similae conspersae oleo in sacrificium et olei log	21 'If he is poor and cannot afford al this, he need take only one lamb, the one for the sacrifice ofreparation, and this will be presented with the gesture of offering to perform the rite of expiation for him.

24 Qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et log olei levabit simul coram Domino;	24 The priest wil take the lamb for the sacrifice of reparation and the log of oil, and present them beforeYahweh with the gesture of offering.
25 immolatoque agno pro delicto, de sanguine eius ponet super extremum auriculae dextrae illius, qui mundatur, et super pollices manus eius ac pedis dextri;	25 He wil then slaughter the lamb for the sacrifice of reparation, take some of its blood and put it on thelobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand and the big toe of the right foot of the person who is beingpurified.

27 In quo tinguens digitum dextrae manus asperget septies coram Domino;	27 and with his finger sprinkle the oil in the hol ow of his left hand seven times before Yahweh.
28 tangetque extremum auriculae dextrae illius, qui mundatur, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri super locum sanguinis, qui effusus est pro delicto.	28 He wil then put some of the oil on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand and the bigtoe of the right foot of the person who is being purified, as he did with the blood of the sacrifice of reparation.

33 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron dicens:	33 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron and said:
34 “ Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan, quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem, si fuerit plaga leprae in aedibus terrae possessionis vestrae,	34 'When you reach Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, if I infect a house with adisease in the country which you are to possess,
35 ibit, cuius est domus, nuntians sacerdoti et dicet: "Quasi plaga videtur mihi esse in domo mea".	35 the owner wil come and inform the priest and say, "I have seen something like a skin-disease in thehouse."
36 At ille praecipiet, ut efferant universa de domo, priusquam ingrediatur eam, et videat plagam, ne immunda fiant omnia, quae in domo sunt. Intrabitque postea, ut consideret domum;	36 The priest wil order the house to be emptied before he goes to examine the infection, or everything inthe house wil become unclean; after which, the priest wil go inside and examine the house;
37 et, cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes et humiliores superficie reliqua,	37 and if on examination he finds the wal s of the house pitted with reddish or greenish depressionswhich appear to be eating away the wall,
38 egredietur ostium domus et statim claudet eam septem diebus.	38 the priest wil then go out of the house, to the door, and shut it up for seven days.
39 Reversusque die septimo considerabit eam; si invenerit crevisse plagam,	39 On the seventh day, the priest will come back and if on examination he finds that the infection hasspread over the walls of the house,
40 iubebit erui lapides, in quibus plaga est, et proici eos extra civitatem in loco immundo;	40 he wil order the infected stones to be removed and thrown into some unclean place outside the town.
41 domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum et spargi pulverem rasurae extra urbem in locum immundum	41 He wil then have all the inside of the house scraped, and the plaster that comes off will be emptied inan unclean place outside the town.
42 lapidesque alios reponi pro his, qui ablati fuerint, et luto alio liniri domum.	42 The stones wil then be replaced with new ones and the house given a new coat of plaster.
43 Sin autem plaga rursum effloruerit in domo, postquam eruti sunt lapides et pulvis erasus et alia terra lita,	43 'If the infection spreads again after the stones have been removed and the house scraped andreplastered,
44 et ingressus sacerdos viderit crevisse plagam in domo: lepra est maligna et domus immunda.	44 the priest wil come and examine it. If he finds that the infection has spread, this means that there is acontagious disease in the house: it is unclean.
45 Quam statim destruent et lapides eius ac ligna atque universum pulverem domus proicient extra oppidum in loco immundo.	45 It must be pul ed down and the stones, woodwork and al the plaster be taken to an unclean placeoutside the town.
46 Qui intraverit domum, quando clausa est, immundus erit usque ad vesperum;	46 'Anyone who enters the house while it is closed wil be unclean until evening.
47 et, qui dormierit in ea vel comederit quippiam, lavabit vestimenta sua.	47 Anyone who sleeps there wil wash his clothes. Anyone who eats there will wash his clothes.
48 Quod si introiens sacerdos viderit plagam non crevisse in domo, postquam denuo lita est, mundam eam esse decernet, reddita sanitate.	48 But if the priest finds, when he comes to examine the infection, that it has not spread in the housesince it was plastered, he wil declare the house clean, for the infection is cured.
49 Et in purificationem eius sumet duas aves lignumque cedrinum et vermiculum atque hyssopum	49 'As a sacrifice for the defilement of the house, he wil take two birds, some cedar wood, scarletmaterial and hyssop.
50 et, immolata una avi in vase fictili super aquas vivas,	50 He wil slaughter one of the birds in an earthenware pot over running water.
51 tollet lignum cedrinum et hyssopum et coccum et avem vivam et intinguet omnia in sanguine avis immolatae atque in aquis viventibus et asperget domum septies;	51 He wil then take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet material and the live bird, dip them into theblood of the slaughtered bird and into the running water and sprinkle the house seven times;

53 cumque dimiserit avem avolare extra urbem in agrum libere, expiabit domum, et erit munda.	53 he wil set the live bird free to fly out of the town into the countryside. Once the rite of expiation hasbeen performed for the house in this way it wil be clean.
54 Ista est lex omnis leprae et scabiei,	54 'Such is the law governing all kinds of skin-disease and tinea,
55 leprae vestium et domorum,	55 diseases of clothing and houses,
56 tumoris et pustulae et lucentis maculae,	56 swel ings, scabs and spots. It defines the occasions when things are unclean and when clean.
