| 1 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר | 1 The LORD said to Moses, |
| 2 זֹאת תִּהְיֶה תֹּורַת הַמְּצֹרָע בְּיֹום טָהֳרָתֹו וְהוּבָא אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן | 2 "This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest; |
| 3 וְיָצָא הַכֹּהֵן אֶל־מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה וְרָאָה הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה נִרְפָּא נֶגַע־הַצָּרַעַת מִן־הַצָּרוּעַ | 3 and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall make an examination. Then, if the leprous disease is healed in the leper, |
| 4 וְצִוָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְלָקַח לַמִּטַּהֵר שְׁתֵּי־צִפֳּרִים חַיֹּות טְהֹרֹות וְעֵץ אֶרֶז וּשְׁנִי תֹולַעַת וְאֵזֹב | 4 the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds and cedarwood and scarlet stuff and hyssop; |
| 5 וְצִוָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְשָׁחַט אֶת־הַצִּפֹּור הָאֶחָת אֶל־כְּלִי־חֶרֶשׂ עַל־מַיִם חַיִּים | 5 and the priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. |
| 6 אֶת־הַצִּפֹּר הַחַיָּה יִקַּח אֹתָהּ וְאֶת־עֵץ הָאֶרֶז וְאֶת־שְׁנִי הַתֹּולַעַת וְאֶת־הָאֵזֹב וְטָבַל אֹותָם וְאֵת ׀ הַצִּפֹּר הַחַיָּה בְּדַם הַצִּפֹּר הַשְּׁחֻטָה עַל הַמַּיִם הַחַיִּים | 6 He shall take the living bird with the cedarwood and the scarlet stuff and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water; |
| 7 וְהִזָּה עַל הַמִּטַּהֵר מִן־הַצָּרַעַת שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים וְטִהֲרֹו וְשִׁלַּח אֶת־הַצִּפֹּר הַחַיָּה עַל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה | 7 and he shall sprinkle it seven times upon him who is to be cleansed of leprosy; then he shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field. |
| 8 וְכִבֶּס הַמִּטַּהֵר אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וְגִלַּח אֶת־כָּל־שְׂעָרֹו וְרָחַץ בַּמַּיִם וְטָהֵר וְאַחַר יָבֹוא אֶל־הַמַּחֲנֶה וְיָשַׁב מִחוּץ לְאָהֳלֹו שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | 8 And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and he shall be clean; and after that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days. |
| 9 וְהָיָה בַיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי יְגַלַּח אֶת־כָּל־שְׂעָרֹו אֶת־רֹאשֹׁו וְאֶת־זְקָנֹו וְאֵת גַּבֹּת עֵינָיו וְאֶת־כָּל־שְׂעָרֹו יְגַלֵּחַ וְכִבֶּס אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וְרָחַץ אֶת־בְּשָׂרֹו בַּמַּיִם וְטָהֵר | 9 And on the seventh day he shall shave all his hair off his head; he shall shave off his beard and his eyebrows, all his hair. Then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean. |
| 10 וּבַיֹּום הַשְּׁמִינִי יִקַּח שְׁנֵי־כְבָשִׂים תְּמִימִים וְכַבְשָׂה אַחַת בַּת־שְׁנָתָהּ תְּמִימָה וּשְׁלֹשָׁה עֶשְׂרֹנִים סֹלֶת מִנְחָה בְּלוּלָה בַשֶּׁמֶן וְלֹג אֶחָד שָׁמֶן | 10 "And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and a cereal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, and one log of oil. |
| 11 וְהֶעֱמִיד הַכֹּהֵן הַמְטַהֵר אֵת הָאִישׁ הַמִּטַּהֵר וְאֹתָם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מֹועֵד | 11 And the priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed and these things before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting. |
| 12 וְלָקַח הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַכֶּבֶשׂ הָאֶחָד וְהִקְרִיב אֹתֹו לְאָשָׁם וְאֶת־לֹג הַשָּׁמֶן וְהֵנִיף אֹתָם תְּנוּפָה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה | 12 And the priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer it for a guilt offering, along with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD; |
| 13 וְשָׁחַט אֶת־הַכֶּבֶשׂ בִּמְקֹום אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁחַט אֶת־הַחַטָּאת וְאֶת־הָעֹלָה בִּמְקֹום הַקֹּדֶשׁ כִּי כַּחַטָּאת הָאָשָׁם הוּא לַכֹּהֵן קֹדֶשׁ קָדָשִׁים הוּא | 13 and he shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place; for the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest; it is most holy. |
| 14 וְלָקַח הַכֹּהֵן מִדַּם הָאָשָׁם וְנָתַן הַכֹּהֵן עַל־תְּנוּךְ אֹזֶן הַמִּטַּהֵר הַיְמָנִית וְעַל־בֹּהֶן יָדֹו הַיְמָנִית וְעַל־בֹּהֶן רַגְלֹו הַיְמָנִית | 14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. |
| 15 וְלָקַח הַכֹּהֵן מִלֹּג הַשָּׁמֶן וְיָצַק עַל־כַּף הַכֹּהֵן הַשְּׂמָאלִית | 15 Then the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand, |
| 16 וְטָבַל הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־אֶצְבָּעֹו הַיְמָנִית מִן־הַשֶּׁמֶן אֲשֶׁר עַל־כַּפֹּו הַשְּׂמָאלִית וְהִזָּה מִן־הַשֶּׁמֶן בְּאֶצְבָּעֹו שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה | 16 and dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and sprinkle some oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. |

| 19 וְעָשָׂה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הַחַטָּאת וְכִפֶּר עַל־הַמִּטַּהֵר מִטֻּמְאָתֹו וְאַחַר יִשְׁחַט אֶת־הָעֹלָה | 19 The priest shall offer the sin offering, to make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. And afterward he shall kill the burnt offering; |
| 20 וְהֶעֱלָה הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־הָעֹלָה וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה הַמִּזְבֵּחָה וְכִפֶּר עָלָיו הַכֹּהֵן וְטָהֵר׃ ס | 20 and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the cereal offering on the altar. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. |

| 32 זֹאת תֹּורַת אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו נֶגַע צָרָעַת אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תַשִּׂיג יָדֹו בְּטָהֳרָתֹו׃ פ | 32 This is the law for him in whom is a leprous disease, who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing." |
| 33 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר | 33 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, |
| 34 כִּי תָבֹאוּ אֶל־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי נֹתֵן לָכֶם לַאֲחֻזָּה וְנָתַתִּי נֶגַע צָרַעַת בְּבֵית אֶרֶץ אֲחֻזַּתְכֶם | 34 "When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession, |
| 35 וּבָא אֲשֶׁר־לֹו הַבַּיִת וְהִגִּיד לַכֹּהֵן לֵאמֹר כְּנֶגַע נִרְאָה לִי בַּבָּיִת | 35 then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, 'There seems to me to be some sort of disease in my house.' |
| 36 וְצִוָּה הַכֹּהֵן וּפִנּוּ אֶת־הַבַּיִת בְּטֶרֶם יָבֹא הַכֹּהֵן לִרְאֹות אֶת־הַנֶּגַע וְלֹא יִטְמָא כָּל־אֲשֶׁר בַּבָּיִת וְאַחַר כֵּן יָבֹא הַכֹּהֵן לִרְאֹות אֶת־הַבָּיִת | 36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all that is in the house be declared unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house. |
| 37 וְרָאָה אֶת־הַנֶּגַע וְהִנֵּה הַנֶּגַע בְּקִירֹת הַבַּיִת שְׁקַעֲרוּרֹת יְרַקְרַקֹּת אֹו אֲדַמְדַּמֹּת וּמַרְאֵיהֶן שָׁפָל מִן־הַקִּיר | 37 And he shall examine the disease; and if the disease is in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots, and if it appears to be deeper than the surface, |
| 38 וְיָצָא הַכֹּהֵן מִן־הַבַּיִת אֶל־פֶּתַח הַבָּיִת וְהִסְגִּיר אֶת־הַבַּיִת שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | 38 then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. |
| 39 וְשָׁב הַכֹּהֵן בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי וְרָאָה וְהִנֵּה פָּשָׂה הַנֶּגַע בְּקִירֹת הַבָּיִת | 39 And the priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look; and if the disease has spread in the walls of the house, |
| 40 וְצִוָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְחִלְּצוּ אֶת־הָאֲבָנִים אֲשֶׁר בָּהֵן הַנָּגַע וְהִשְׁלִיכוּ אֶתְהֶן אֶל־מִחוּץ לָעִיר אֶל־מָקֹום טָמֵא | 40 then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the disease and throw them into an unclean place outside the city; |
| 41 וְאֶת־הַבַּיִת יַקְצִעַ מִבַּיִת סָבִיב וְשָׁפְכוּ אֶת־הֶעָפָר אֲשֶׁר הִקְצוּ אֶל־מִחוּץ לָעִיר אֶל־מָקֹום טָמֵא | 41 and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped round about, and the plaster that they scrape off they shall pour into an unclean place outside the city; |
| 42 וְלָקְחוּ אֲבָנִים אֲחֵרֹות וְהֵבִיאוּ אֶל־תַּחַת הָאֲבָנִים וְעָפָר אַחֵר יִקַּח וְטָח אֶת־הַבָּיִת | 42 then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house. |
| 43 וְאִם־יָשׁוּב הַנֶּגַע וּפָרַח בַּבַּיִת אַחַר חִלֵּץ אֶת־הָאֲבָנִים וְאַחֲרֵי הִקְצֹות אֶת־הַבַּיִת וְאַחֲרֵי הִטֹּוחַ | 43 "If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it, |

| 45 וְנָתַץ אֶת־הַבַּיִת אֶת־אֲבָנָיו וְאֶת־עֵצָיו וְאֵת כָּל־עֲפַר הַבָּיִת וְהֹוצִיא אֶל־מִחוּץ לָעִיר אֶל־מָקֹום טָמֵא | 45 And he shall break down the house, its stones and timber and all the plaster of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city to an unclean place. |
| 46 וְהַבָּא אֶל־הַבַּיִת כָּל־יְמֵי הִסְגִּיר אֹתֹו יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָרֶב | 46 Moreover he who enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening; |
| 47 וְהַשֹּׁכֵב בַּבַּיִת יְכַבֵּס אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וְהָאֹכֵל בַּבַּיִת יְכַבֵּס אֶת־בְּגָדָיו | 47 and he who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes. |

| 49 וְלָקַח לְחַטֵּא אֶת־הַבַּיִת שְׁתֵּי צִפֳּרִים וְעֵץ אֶרֶז וּשְׁנִי תֹולַעַת וְאֵזֹב | 49 And for the cleansing of the house he shall take two small birds, with cedarwood and scarlet stuff and hyssop, |
| 50 וְשָׁחַט אֶת־הַצִּפֹּר הָאֶחָת אֶל־כְּלִי־חֶרֶשׂ עַל־מַיִם חַיִּים | 50 and shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water, |

| 52 וְחִטֵּא אֶת־הַבַּיִת בְּדַם הַצִּפֹּור וּבַמַּיִם הַחַיִּים וּבַצִּפֹּר הַחַיָּה וּבְעֵץ הָאֶרֶז וּבָאֵזֹב וּבִשְׁנִי הַתֹּולָעַת | 52 Thus he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet stuff; |
| 53 וְשִׁלַּח אֶת־הַצִּפֹּר הַחַיָּה אֶל־מִחוּץ לָעִיר אֶל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה וְכִפֶּר עַל־הַבַּיִת וְטָהֵר | 53 and he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field; so he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean." |
| 54 זֹאת הַתֹּורָה לְכָל־נֶגַע הַצָּרַעַת וְלַנָּתֶק | 54 This is the law for any leprous disease: for an itch, |
| 55 וּלְצָרַעַת הַבֶּגֶד וְלַבָּיִת | 55 for leprosy in a garment or in a house, |
| 56 וְלַשְׂאֵת וְלַסַּפַּחַת וְלַבֶּהָרֶת | 56 and for a swelling or an eruption or a spot, |
| 57 לְהֹורֹת בְּיֹום הַטָּמֵא וּבְיֹום הַטָּהֹר זֹאת תֹּורַת הַצָּרָעַת׃ ס | 57 to show when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law for leprosy. |
