Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying
“This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest.
And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall examine him; and indeed, if the leprosy is healed in the leper
then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.
And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water.
As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field.
He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven days.
But on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean.
“And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and one log of oil.
Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it as a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
Then he shall kill the lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.
And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put some on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering.
The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed. So the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
“Then the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.
And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
But if he is poor and his means are insufficient, then he shall take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a log of oil.
and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whatever he can afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
He shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting, before the LORD.
And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of olive oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
Then he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and apply it to the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
And the priest shall pour some of the olive oil into the palm of his own left hand.
Then the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the LORD.
The priest shall put some of the oil that is in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the same place as the blood of the guilt offering.
The rest of the oil that is in the priest's palm he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
Then he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, whatever he can afford—
Such as he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering, and so the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of him who is to be cleansed.
This is the law for one who had a serious skin disease, who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing.
And the LORD further spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and I put a case of defiling disease in a house in the land of your possession,
The owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'It appears to me that there is something like a contamination in my house.'
The priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes into it to examine the contamination, so that everything in the house will not be declared unclean, and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house.
And he shall examine the contamination, and indeed if the contamination is on the walls of the house with greenish or reddish depressions which appear to be deeper than the surface.
Then the priest shall go out of the house to the doorway and quarantine the house for seven days.
And the priest shall return on the seventh day and look; and indeed if the contamination has spread on the walls of the house,
then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the contamination, and they shall throw them into an unclean place outside the city.
And he shall have the inside of the house scraped completely all around, and the plaster that they scrape off they shall dump in an unclean place outside the city.
Then they shall take other stones and replace those stones, and he shall take other mortar and replaster the house.
Now if the contamination comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered,
Then the priest shall come and examine it, and if the contamination has indeed spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling disease in the house; it is unclean.
And he shall tear down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place.
Moreover whoever enters the house during the time it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.
And whoever sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
But if the priest comes in and examines it, and indeed the contamination has not spread in the house after the house was replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the contamination is healed.
And he shall take, to purify the house, two birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop.
Then he shall slaughter one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh running water.
And he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the fresh water and the living bird, with the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn.
Then he shall release the living bird outside the city into the open field, and make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
This is the law for any case of leprous disease and scale,
for the leprous disease of a garment and of a house,
for a swelling and a scab and a bright spot,
to teach when something is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
