And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.

And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.

Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop.

And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water.

And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country.

And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;

And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord;

And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,

Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:

Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:

And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.

And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.

And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;

And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread.

But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean.

To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.

Say to the children of Israel: If a man has an unclean flow from his flesh, it will make him unclean.

And any vessel of earth which has been touched by the unclean man will have to be broken and any vessel of wood washed.

And when a man who has a flow from his body is made clean from it, he is to take seven days to make himself clean, washing his clothing and bathing his body in flowing water, and then he will be clean.

And if a man's seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

And if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till evening.

And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times.

Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way.

The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on the cover of the ark.

And he is to take the two goats and put them before the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting.

And the goat which is marked out for the Lord, let Aaron give for a sin-offering.

But the goat for Azazel is to be placed living before the Lord, for the taking away of sin, that it may be sent away for Azazel into the waste land.

And he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the veil;

And let him take some of the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it from his finger on the cover of the ark on the east side, and before it, seven times.

Then let him put to death the goat of the sin-offering for the people, and take its blood inside the veil and do with it as he did with the blood of the ox, shaking drops of it on and before the cover of the ark.

And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin.

And he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar and round it;

Shaking drops of the blood from his finger on it seven times to make it holy and clean from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel.

And after bathing his body in water in a holy place, he is to put on his clothing and come out and give his burned offering and the burned offering of the people, to take away his sin and the sin of the people.

It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever.

And the man on whose head the holy oil has been put, and who has been marked out to be a priest in his father's place, will do what is necessary to take away sin, and will put on the linen clothing, even the holy robes:

And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:

And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord.

And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.

For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.

And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.

And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.

Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.

And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.

Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.

And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.

Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.

But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.

Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.

Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.

Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them.

And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.

And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them.

And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.

And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.

And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.

So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.

And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.

But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.

And he who is the chief priest among his brothers, on whose head the holy oil has been put, who is marked out to put on the holy robes, may not let his hair go loose or have his clothing out of order as a sign of sorrow.

He may not go out of the holy place or make the holy place of his God common; for the crown of the holy oil of his God is on him: I am the Lord.

A widow, or one whose husband has put her away, or a common woman of loose behaviour, may not be the wife of a priest; but let him take a virgin from among his people.

And when the sun has gone down he will be clean; and after that he may take part in the holy food, because it is his bread.

That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.

So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.

But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.
