Leviticus 14:12-51

¹²He shall take a. lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with the sextary of oil: and having offered all before the Lord,

¹³He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place: for as that which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth to the priest: it is holy of holies.

¹⁴And the priest taking of the blood of the victim that was immolated for trespass, shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot:

¹⁵And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left. hand,

¹⁶And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times.

¹⁷And the rest of the oil in his left band, he shall pour upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, and upon the blood that was shed for trespass,

¹⁸And upon his head.

¹⁹And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and shall offer the sacrifice for sin: then shall he immolate the holocaust,

²⁰And put it on the altar with the libations thereof, and the man shall be rightly cleansed.

²¹But if he be poor, and his hand cannot find the things aforesaid: he shall take a lamb for an offering for trespass, that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of hour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil,

²²And two turtles or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other for a holocaust:

²³And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord.

²⁴And the priest receiving the lamb for trespass, and the sextary of oil, shall elevate them together.

²⁵And the lamb being immolated, he shall put of the blood thereof upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and the great toe of his right foot:

²⁶But he shall pour part of the oil into his own left hand,

²⁷And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord:

²⁸And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, in the place of the blood that was shed for trespass.

²⁹And the other part of the oil that is in his left hand, he shall pour upon the head of the purified person, that he may appease the Lord for him.

³⁰And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon,

³¹One for trespass, and the other for a holocaust, with their libations.

³²This is the sacrifice of a leper, that is not able to have all things that appertain to his cleansing.

³³And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

³⁴When you shall be come into the land of Chanaan, which I will give you for a possession, if there be the plague of leprosy in a house,

³⁵He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house,

³⁶And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, lest all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of the house.

³⁷And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all the rest,

³⁸He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days,

³⁹And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread,

⁴⁰He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place:

⁴¹And that the house be scraped on the inside round about, and the dust of the scraping be scattered without the city into an unclean place:

⁴²And that other stones be laid in the place of them that were taken away, and the house be plastered with other mortar.

⁴³But if, after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth,

⁴⁴The priest going in perceive that the leprosy is returned, and the walls full of spots, it is a lasting leprosy, and the house is unclean:

⁴⁵And they shall destroy it forthwith, and shall cast the stones and timber thereof, and all the dust without the town into an unclean place.

⁴⁶He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until evening,

⁴⁷And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, it being cured,

⁴⁹And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

⁵⁰And having immolated one sparrow In an earthen vessel over living waters,

⁵¹He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and shall dip all in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated, and in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times:
