+ Secondary textOriginal text← PreviousNext →Contribute
This is the law for the person with a skin disease on the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,
and the priest shall go outside the camp and examine him. If the diseased man has been healed of his infection,
the priest shall give orders to take, for the one being cleansed, two live clean birds, cedar wood, crimson yarn, and hyssop.
Then he shall take the living bird, the cedar wood, the crimson yarn, and the hyssop, and dip them, along with the living bird, in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water.
He shall sprinkle it seven times on the one being cleansed of the disease. Then he shall declare him clean and release the living bird over the open country.
The one being cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe in water; then he will be clean. After that he may enter the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.
On the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair—his head, his beard, his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave. He shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he will be clean.
On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil.
The priest who performs the cleansing shall present the man who is being cleansed, together with these offerings, before the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
The priest shall take one of the male lambs and present it as a guilt offering, along with the log of oil, and he shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD.
He shall slaughter the lamb in the holy place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered, for the guilt offering belongs to the priest, like the sin offering; it is most holy.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
He shall dip his right finger into the oil in his left palm and sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the LORD.
Some of the oil remaining in his palm the priest shall put on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, over the blood of the guilt offering.
The rest of the oil in his palm he shall put on the head of the one being cleansed. So the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
and offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be clean.
But if he is poor and cannot afford this much, he shall take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, a log of oil,
and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whatever he can afford—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
On the eighth day he shall bring them to the priest for his cleansing, at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the LORD.
He shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering, take some of its blood, and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
Then the priest shall put some of the oil from his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, where the blood of the guilt offering was placed.
The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one being cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement before the LORD for the one being cleansed.
When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I bring an infection of mildew upon a house in the land you possess,
Then the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, "Something like an infection has appeared in my house."
The priest shall order the house emptied before he goes in to examine the infection, so that nothing in the house becomes unclean. After that the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
He shall examine the infection, and if it is in the walls of the house—greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be beneath the surface of the wall—
On the seventh day the priest shall return and inspect it. If the infection has spread in the walls of the house,
he shall order the stones with the infection torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.
Then other stones shall be brought and set in place of the first ones, and fresh plaster shall be taken and the house replastered.
But if the infection breaks out again in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and replastered,
It must be torn down—its stones, its timbers, and all its plaster—and carried out to an unclean place outside the city.
Whoever enters the house during the days it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.
But if the priest comes again and inspects it and the infection has not spread in the house after it was replastered, he shall declare the house clean, for the infection is healed.
To purify the house he shall take two birds, cedar wood, crimson yarn, and hyssop.
and he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the crimson yarn, and the living bird, dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and in the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
So he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the living bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the crimson yarn.
Then he shall release the living bird outside the city into the open country. So he shall make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.
to determine when something is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law concerning infectious skin diseases.
