| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: | 2“This shall be the law of the leprous person for the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest, |
| 3And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; | 3and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look. Then, if the case of leprous disease is healed in the leprous person, |
| 4Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: | 4the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two live clean birds and cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop. |
| 5And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: | 5And the priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh water. |
| 6As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: | 6He shall take the live bird with the cedarwood and the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water. |
| 7And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. | 7And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed of the leprous disease. Then he shall pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird go into the open field. |
| 8And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. | 8And 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 may come into the camp, but live outside his tent seven days. |
| 9But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. | 9And on the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair from his head, his beard, and his eyebrows. He shall shave off all his hair, and then he shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean. |
| 10And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. | 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 grain offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, and one log of oil. |
| 11And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: | 11And the priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed and these things before the LORD, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. |
| 12And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: | 12And 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. |
| 13And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy: | 13And he shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary. For the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest; it is most holy. |
| 14And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: | 14The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. |
| 15And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand: | 15Then the priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand |
| 16And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD: | 16and 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. |
| 17And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering: | 17And some of the oil that remains in his hand the priest shall put on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering. |
| 18And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD. | 18And 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. Then the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD. |
| 19And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering: | 19The 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. |
| 20And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. | 20And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. |
| 21And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil; | 21“But if he is poor and cannot afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil; |
| 22And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. | 22also two turtledoves or two pigeons, whichever he can afford. The one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. |
| 23And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD. | 23And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, before the LORD. |
| 24And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: | 24And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. |
| 25And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: | 25And he shall kill the lamb of the guilt offering. And the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. |
| 26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: | 26And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand, |
| 27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD: | 27and shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. |
| 28And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering: | 28And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, in the place where the blood of the guilt offering was put. |
| 29And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD. | 29And 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, to make atonement for him before the LORD. |
| 30And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; | 30And he shall offer, of the turtledoves or pigeons, whichever he can afford, |
| 31Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD. | 31one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, along with a grain offering. And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD for him who is being cleansed. |
| 32This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing. | 32This is the law for him in whom is a case of leprous disease, who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing.” |
| 33And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, | 33The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, |
| 34When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; | 34“When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a case of leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession, |
| 35And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house: | 35then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘There seems to me to be some case of disease in my house.’ |
| 36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house: | 36Then 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. |
| 37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall; | 37And 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, |
| 38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: | 38then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days. |
| 39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; | 39And the priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the disease has spread in the walls of the house, |
| 40Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city: | 40then 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. |
| 41And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place: | 41And he shall have the inside of the house scraped all around, and the plaster that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. |
| 42And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house. | 42Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house. |
| 43And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered; | 43“If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it, |
| 44Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean. | 44then the priest shall go and look. And if the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprous disease in the house; it is unclean. |
| 45And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. | 45And he shall break down the house, its stones and timber and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city to an unclean place. |
| 46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. | 46Moreover, whoever enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening, |
| 47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. | 47and whoever sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes. |
| 48And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. | 48“But if the priest comes and looks, and if the disease has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the disease is healed. |
| 49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: | 49And for the cleansing of the house he shall take two small birds, with cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop, |
| 50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: | 50and shall kill one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh water |
| 51And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times: | 51and shall take the cedarwood and the hyssop and the scarlet yarn, along with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed and in the fresh water and sprinkle the house seven times. |
| 52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet: | 52Thus he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the fresh water and with the live bird and with the cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn. |
| 53But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean. | 53And he shall let the live bird go out of the city into the open country. So he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.” |
| 54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, | 54This is the law for any case of leprous disease: for an itch, |
| 55And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, | 55for leprous disease in a garment or in a house, |
| 56And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: | 56and for a swelling or an eruption or a spot, |
| 57To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy. | 57to show when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law for leprous disease. |
