Cleansing of a Leper

Leviticus 14:1-32
1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2This shall be the instruction of the one who is leprous on the day of his purifying: he shall be brought to the priest. 3The priest shall go out outside the camp, and the priest shall see, and behold, the plague of the leprosy has been healed from the one who is leprous. 4The priest shall command, and two live pure birds shall be taken for the one to be pure, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. 5The priest shall command, and one bird shall be slaughtered in an earthenware vessel over fresh water. 6The live bird he shall take, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the live bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird upon the living water. 7He shall sprinkle upon the one to be pure from the leprosy seven times, and he shall purify him, and he shall send the live bird upon the face of the field. 8The one to be pure shall wash his garments, and he shall shave all his hair, and he shall wash in water, and he shall be pure; and after he shall come to the camp, and he shall dwell outside his tent seven days. 9It shall be on the seventh day that he shall shave all his hair: his head, and his beard, and the brows of his eyes, and all his hair he shall shave; and he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be pure. 10On the eighth day he shall take two unblemished male lambs and one unblemished ewe lamb a year old, and three-tenths of fine flour mixed with oil for an offering, and one log of oil. 11The priest who purifies shall make the man who is pure and them stand before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 12The priest shall take the one lamb and present it for a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and he shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. 13He shall slaughter the lamb in the place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered, in the holy place; for like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy. 14The priest shall take from the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it upon the lobe of the right ear of the one to be pure, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot. 15The priest shall take from the log of oil and pour it upon the palm of the priest's left hand. 16The priest shall dip his right finger from the oil that is upon his left palm, and he shall sprinkle from the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. 17From the remainder of the oil that is upon his palm the priest shall put upon the lobe of the right ear of the one to be pure, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the guilt offering. 18The remainder of the oil that is upon the palm of the priest he shall put upon the head of the one to be pure, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD. 19He shall make the sin offering, and he shall make atonement for the one to be pure from his uncleanness; and after he shall slaughter the burnt offering. 20The priest shall cause the burnt offering and the offering to ascend upon the altar, and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be pure. 21If he is poor and his hand does not overtake, then he shall take one lamb as a guilt offering for a wave offering to make atonement for him, and one tenth of fine flour mixed in oil for an offering, and a log of oil. 22Two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever his hand overtakes, and one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. 23He shall bring them on the eighth day for his purifying to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, before the LORD. 24The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. 25He shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering, and the priest shall take from the blood of the guilt offering and put it upon the lobe of the right ear of the one to be pure, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot. 26The priest shall pour from the oil upon the palm of the priest's left hand. 27The priest shall sprinkle with his right finger from the oil that is upon his left palm seven times before the LORD. 28The priest shall put from the oil that is upon his palm upon the lobe of the right ear of the one to be pure, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the guilt offering. 29The remainder from the oil that is upon the palm of the priest he shall put upon the head of the one to be pure to make atonement for him before the LORD. 30He shall make one from the turtledoves or from the sons of the dove, from what his hand overtakes. 31That which his hand overtakes: the one a sin offering and the one a burnt offering, upon the offering; and the priest shall make atonement for the one to be pure before the LORD. 32This is the instruction for whoever has in him a plague of leprosy whose hand does not overtake in his purifying.
