Leviticus 14:1-32 - Cleansing Of Skin Diseases

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ² "This is the law of a leper when he shall be cleansed: He shall be brought unto the priest, ³ and the priest shall go out without the host and look upon him. If the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper, ⁴ then shall the priest command that there be brought for him that shall be cleansed two living birds that are clean, and cypress wood, and a piece of purple cloth and hyssop. ⁵ And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed over an earthen vessel of running water. ⁶ And the priest shall take the living bird and the cypress wood and the purple and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, ⁷ and sprinkle it upon him that must be cleansed of his leprosy seven times and cleanse him, and shall let the living bird go free into the fields. ⁸ "And he that is cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, and then he is clean. And after that he shall come into the host, but shall tarry without his tent seven days. ⁹ When the seventh day is come, he shall shave off all his hair both upon his head and his beard and on his brows: and even all the hair that is on him, shall be shaven off. And he shall wash his clothes and his flesh in water, and then he shall be clean.

¹⁰ And when the eighth day is come, let him take two lambs without blemish and a ewe lamb of a year old without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering mingled with oil, and a log of oil. ¹¹ Then let the priest that maketh him clean, bring the man that is made clean with those things before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of witness. ¹² And let the priest take one of the lambs and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil: and wave them before the LORD. ¹³ And then let him slay the lamb in the place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slain: even in the holy place. For as the sin offering is, even so is the trespass offering the priest's: for it is most holy. ¹⁴ "Then let the priest take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. ¹⁵ Then let the priest take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his left hand, ¹⁶ and dip his right finger in the oil that is in the palm of his left hand, and let him sprinkle it with his finger seven times before the LORD. ¹⁷ And 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 cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: even upon the blood of the trespass offering. ¹⁸ And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand, he shall pour upon the head of him that is cleansed: and so shall be priest make an atonement for him before the LORD. ¹⁹ "Then let the priest offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is cleansed for his uncleanness. And then let the burnt offering be slain, ²⁰ and let the priest put both the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar; and make an atonement for him, and then he shall be clean.

²¹ If he be poor and can not get so much, then let him bring one lamb for a trespass offering to wave it and to make an atonement for him, and a tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil, ²² and two turtle doves or two young pigeons which he is able to get, and let the one be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. ²³ And let him bring them the eighth day for his cleansing, unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the LORD. ²⁴ And let the priest take the lamb that is the trespass offering and the log of oil, and wave them before the LORD. ²⁵ And when the lamb of the trespass offering is killed, the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of his right ear that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. ²⁶ And the priest shall pour of the oil into his right hand, ²⁷ and shall sprinkle with his finger of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. ²⁸ "And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand, upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: even in the place where the blood of the trespass offering was put. ²⁹ And the rest of the oil that is in his hand, he shall pour upon the head of him that is cleansed: to make an atonement for him before the LORD. ³⁰ And he shall offer one of the turtle doves or of the young pigeons, such as he can get: ³¹ the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering upon the altar. And so shall the priest make an atonement for him that is cleansed before the LORD. ³² This is the law of him that hath the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing."
