Thematic Bible: Cleansing of a leper

the following regulations about the ritual purification of those of you cured of a dreaded skin disease: On the day you are to be pronounced clean, you should be brought to the priest. Verse ConceptsHoliness,  Worldly SeparationPriests, Tasks In Nt Times

If the one to be cleansed is poor and cannot afford that much, he must take one male lamb, present it to pay compensation for the wrong and make peace with Jehovah for himself, and use it for his guilt offering. He will take only eight cups of flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering, a quart of olive oil, and two mourning doves or two pigeons, whatever he can afford. The one will be an offering for sin and the other a burnt offering.

Then the priest will take one of the male lambs and together with the half pint of oil he will offer it as a repayment offering. He will present them as a special gift to Jehovah for the priest. He will slaughter the lamb in the holy place where the animals for the sin offerings and the burnt offerings are slaughtered. He must do this because the repayment offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest and is very holy. The priest will take some of the blood from the guilt offering and put it on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed.
