¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, ² If a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling, a rising, or a bright spot, and it might become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy: then shall he be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests. ³ And if the priest shall see the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh: it is a plague of leprosy; and so soon as the priest shall see him, he shall pronounce him unclean. ⁴ But if it be a white bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance be not deeper than the skin, and the hair be not turned white: then shall the priest shut up the plague seven days. ⁵ And the priest shall see him on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague have remained unchanged in its appearance, the plague have not spread in the skin: then shall the priest shut him up seven days more. ⁶ And the priest shall see him again on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be somewhat pale, and the plague have not spread in the skin: then shall the priest pronounce him clean; it is a rising, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. ⁷ But if the rising should spread abroad in the skin, after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen again by the priest. ⁸ And if the priest see that, behold, the rising have spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy. ⁹ If the plague of leprosy happen to be on a man, then shall he be brought unto the priest; ¹⁰ And the priest shall see, and, behold, if there be a white swelling in the skin, and the hair in it have turned white, or there be a trace of healthy flesh in the swelling: ¹¹ It is an inveterate leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean. ¹² And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to the feet, so far as the eyes of the priest can see: ¹³ If now the priest should see, that, behold, the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the plague clean; it is all turned white, he is clean. ¹⁴ But on the day that healthy flesh appeareth therein, he shall be unclean. ¹⁵ And the priest shall see the healthy flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean; the healthy flesh is unclean, it is the leprosy. ¹⁶ Or if the healthy flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest; ¹⁷ And if the priest see him, and, behold, the plague be turned into white: then shall the priest pronounce the plague clean, he is clean. ¹⁸ And if there be a person who hath had in his skin an inflammation, and hath been healed, ¹⁹ And if there be on the place of the inflammation a white swelling, or a white and dark red bright spot, he shall be shown to the priest; ²⁰ And if the priest see, and, behold, its appearance be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof have been turned white: then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy broken out in the inflammation. ²¹ But if the priest see it, and, behold, there be no white hair therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, and it be pale: then shall the priest shut him up seven days. ²² And if it now spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. ²³ But if the bright spot remain in its place, and spread not, it is a scar of the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. ²⁴ Or if there be a person in whose skin there is a place burnt by fire, and the mark of the burning become a bright spot, white and dark red, or white; ²⁵ And if the priest see it, and, behold, the hair in the bright spot have been turned white, and its appearance be deeper than the skin: it is leprosy, broken out in the fire-wound; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy. ²⁶ But if the priest see it, and, behold, there be in the bright spot no white hair, and it be not lower than the skin, and it be pale: then shall the priest shut him up seven days. ²⁷ And the priest shall see him on the seventh day: if now it have spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. ²⁸ And if the bright spot remain in its place, and it have not spread abroad in the skin, and it be pale: it is a swelling of the fire-wound; and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is a scar of the fire-wound. ²⁹ And if there be a man or woman on whom there arise a plague, on the head or on the beard; ³⁰ Then shall the priest see the plague; and, behold, if its appearance be deeper than the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin hair: then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, it is a dry scall, it is the leprosy of the head or of the beard. ³¹ And if the priest see the plague of the scall, and, behold, its appearance be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it: then shall the priest shut up the plague of the scall seven days. ³² And the priest shall see the plague on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scall have not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin: ³³ Then shall he be shaved, but the scall he shall not shave; and the priest shall shut up the scall seven days more. ³⁴ And the priest shall see the scall on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scall have not spread in the skin, and its appearance be not deeper than the skin: then shall the priest pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. ³⁵ But if the scall should spread abroad in the skin after his being pronounced clean: ³⁶ Then shall the priest see him; and, behold, if the scall have spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean. ³⁷ But if the scall have remained stationary in its color, and black hair have grown up therein: the scall is then healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. ³⁸ And if there be a man or a woman having in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots; ³⁹ And if the priest do see, and, behold, there are in the skin of their flesh bright spots, pale and white: it is a freckly eruption grown in the skin; he is clean. ⁴⁰ And if there be a man whose hair of the head fall off, he is a bald head; he is clean. ⁴¹ And if from the side of his face his hair fall off, he is forehead-bald; he is clean. ⁴² But if there be on the bald head, or the bald forehead, an eruption, white and dark red: it is the leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead. ⁴³ And the priest shall see him; and, behold, if the swelling of the eruption be white and dark red on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy on the other parts of the skin of the flesh: ⁴⁴ He is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him unclean; his plague is on his head. ⁴⁵ And the leper on whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head shall be bare, and he shall cover himself up to his upper lip, and, Unclean, unclean, shall he call out. ⁴⁶ All the days whereon the plague which rendereth unclean is on him, he shall be unclean; alone shall he dwell; without the camp shall his habitation be. ⁴⁷ And if there be a garment on which there arise a plague of leprosy, whether it be on a woollen garment, or on a linen garment; ⁴⁸ Whether it be on the warp, or on the woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether on a skin, or on any thing made of skin; ⁴⁹ And the plague be dark green or dark red, on the garment, or on the skin, or on the warp, or on the woof, or on any article made of skin: it is the plague of leprosy; and it shall be shown unto the priest. ⁵⁰ And the priest shall see the plague, and shut up the plague seven days. ⁵¹ And if he see the plague on the seventh day, that the plague have spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, or in any article that is made of skin: the plague is a corroding leprosy; it is unclean. ⁵² And he shall then burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any article of skin, whereon the plague is; for it is a corroding leprosy, in fire shall it be burnt. ⁵³ And if the priest shall see, and, behold, the plague have not spread on the garment, either on the warp, or on the woof, or on any article of skin: ⁵⁴ Then shall the priest command that they wash the thing whereon the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more. ⁵⁵ And if the priest see, after the plague hath been washed, and, behold, the plague have not changed its color, and the plague have not spread: it is unclean, in fire shalt thou burn it; it is a decay on its inside or on its outside. ⁵⁶ And if the priest see, and, behold, the plague have become pale after its having been washed: then shall he tear it out from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof. ⁵⁷ And if it appear again on the garment, either on the warp, or on the woof, or on any instrument of skin: it is a growing plague; with fire shalt thou burn that whereon the plague is. ⁵⁸ And the garment, either the warp or the woof, or every instrument of skin, which thou shalt wash, and the plague depart therefrom, shall be washed the second time, when it shall be clean. ⁵⁹ This is the law of the plague of leprosy on a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, to pronounce it clean, or unclean.

¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ² Command the children of Israel, that they send out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead: ³ Both male and female shall ye send out, to without the camp shall ye send them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

² Command the children of Israel, that they send out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:

²⁷ May then the leprosy of Na’aman cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ² This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his being cleansed: He shall be brought unto the priest. ³ And the priest shall go forth to without the camp; and if the priest see, and, behold, the plague of leprosy be healed on the leper: ⁴ Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two healthy, clean birds, and cedar wood, and a string of scarlet yarn, and hyssop. ⁵ And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. ⁶ As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the string of scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, and he shall dip these and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: ⁷ And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times; and when he hath cleansed him, he shall let the living bird fly forth into the open field. ⁸ And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, and he shall be clean, and after that he may come into the camp; but he shall tarry outside of his tent seven days. ⁹ And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave off all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair shall he shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, he shall also wash his flesh in water, when he shall be clean. ¹⁰ And on the eighth day he shall take two sheep without blemish, and one ewe of the first year without blemish, and three-tenth parts of fine flour for a meat-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. ¹¹ And the priest who cleanseth shall cause the man that is to be made clean, and these things, to stand before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: ¹² And the priest shall take the one sheep, and offer the same for a trespass-offering, with the log of oil; and he shall make with them a waving before the Lord. ¹³ And he shall slay the sheep on the place where the sin-offering and the burnt-offering are killed, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering so doth the trespass-offering belong to the priest: it is most holy. ¹⁴ And 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. ¹⁵ And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. ¹⁶ And the priest shall dip his finger of the right hand in the oil that is in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle of the oil 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 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. ¹⁸ And what is left of the oil that is in the priest’s hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall thus make an atonement for him before the Lord. ¹⁹ And the priest shall prepare the sin-offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward shall he kill the burnt-offering: ²⁰ And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the meat-offering upon the altar; and the priest shall thus make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. ²¹ But if he be poor, and his means do not suffice, then shall he take one sheep for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him; and one-tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat-offering, and a log of oil; ²² And two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, for which his means suffice; and one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering. ²³ And he shall bring them on the eighth day of his being cleansed unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord. ²⁴ And the priest shall take the sheep of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil; and the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord. ²⁵ And he shall kill the sheep 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. ²⁶ And some of the oil shall the priest pour into the palm of his own left hand: ²⁷ And the priest shall sprinkle with his finger of the right hand some 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 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; ²⁹ And what is left 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. ³⁰ And he shall offer the one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, from what his means enable him to bring; ³¹ Even what his means enable him, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meat-offering: and the priest shall thus make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed, before the Lord. ³² This is the law of him on whom is the plague of leprosy, whose means are not sufficient when he is cleansed. ³³ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, ³⁴ When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy on a house of the land of your possession: ³⁵ Then shall he that owneth the house come and tell the priest, saying, Something like a leprosy hath shown itself to me in the house. ³⁶ And the priest shall command that they clear out the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all be not made unclean that is in the house: and after this shall the priest go in to see the house. ³⁷ And he shall view the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house, in depressions, dark green or dark red, and their appearance be deeper than the wall: ³⁸ Then shall the priest go out of the house to the door of the house, and lock up the house seven days. ³⁹ And the priest shall come again on the seventh day; and if he see, that, behold, the plague have spread in the walls of the house: ⁴⁰ Then shall the priest command that they break out the stones on which the plague is; and they shall cast them forth without the city on an unclean place. ⁴¹ And the house he shall cause to be scraped within round about; and they shall pour out the rubbish that they have scraped off without the city on an unclean place. ⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them into the place of these stones; and other mortar shall he take, and shall plaster the house. ⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it hath been plastered: ⁴⁴ Then shall the priest come; and if he see that, behold, the plague have spread in the house, it is a corrosive leprosy in the house; it is unclean. ⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, its stones, and the timbers thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth to without the city, unto an unclean place. ⁴⁶ And he that goeth into the house, all the days that it is locked up, shall be unclean until the evening. ⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. ⁴⁸ But if the priest should come in, and see, and, behold, the plague have not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then shall the priest pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. ⁴⁹ And he shall take, to atone for the house, two birds, and cedar wood, and a string of scarlet yarn, and hyssop; ⁵⁰ And he shall kill the one bird in an earthen vessel over running water; ⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle on the house seven times: ⁵² And he shall atone for 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 string of scarlet yarn; ⁵³ But he shall let fly forth the living bird out of the city into the open field, and make thus an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. ⁵⁴ This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, ⁵⁵ And for the leprosy of a garment and of a house, ⁵⁶ And for a swelling, and for a rising, and for a bright spot; ⁵⁷ To teach on the day when something is unclean, and on the day when it is clean: this is the law of the leprosy.

³ And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why do we remain here until we die?

⁴⁶ All the days whereon the plague which rendereth unclean is on him, he shall be unclean; alone shall he dwell; without the camp shall his habitation be.

⁴⁵ And the leper on whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head shall be bare, and he shall cover himself up to his upper lip, and, Unclean, unclean, shall he call out. ⁴⁶ All the days whereon the plague which rendereth unclean is on him, he shall be unclean; alone shall he dwell; without the camp shall his habitation be.

¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, ² If a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling, a rising, or a bright spot, and it might become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy: then shall he be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests. ³ And if the priest shall see the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh: it is a plague of leprosy; and so soon as the priest shall see him, he shall pronounce him unclean. ⁴ But if it be a white bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance be not deeper than the skin, and the hair be not turned white: then shall the priest shut up the plague seven days. ⁵ And the priest shall see him on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague have remained unchanged in its appearance, the plague have not spread in the skin: then shall the priest shut him up seven days more. ⁶ And the priest shall see him again on the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be somewhat pale, and the plague have not spread in the skin: then shall the priest pronounce him clean; it is a rising, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. ⁷ But if the rising should spread abroad in the skin, after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen again by the priest. ⁸ And if the priest see that, behold, the rising have spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy. ⁹ If the plague of leprosy happen to be on a man, then shall he be brought unto the priest; ¹⁰ And the priest shall see, and, behold, if there be a white swelling in the skin, and the hair in it have turned white, or there be a trace of healthy flesh in the swelling: ¹¹ It is an inveterate leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean. ¹² And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to the feet, so far as the eyes of the priest can see: ¹³ If now the priest should see, that, behold, the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the plague clean; it is all turned white, he is clean. ¹⁴ But on the day that healthy flesh appeareth therein, he shall be unclean. ¹⁵ And the priest shall see the healthy flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean; the healthy flesh is unclean, it is the leprosy. ¹⁶ Or if the healthy flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest; ¹⁷ And if the priest see him, and, behold, the plague be turned into white: then shall the priest pronounce the plague clean, he is clean. ¹⁸ And if there be a person who hath had in his skin an inflammation, and hath been healed, ¹⁹ And if there be on the place of the inflammation a white swelling, or a white and dark red bright spot, he shall be shown to the priest; ²⁰ And if the priest see, and, behold, its appearance be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof have been turned white: then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy broken out in the inflammation. ²¹ But if the priest see it, and, behold, there be no white hair therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, and it be pale: then shall the priest shut him up seven days. ²² And if it now spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. ²³ But if the bright spot remain in its place, and spread not, it is a scar of the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. ²⁴ Or if there be a person in whose skin there is a place burnt by fire, and the mark of the burning become a bright spot, white and dark red, or white; ²⁵ And if the priest see it, and, behold, the hair in the bright spot have been turned white, and its appearance be deeper than the skin: it is leprosy, broken out in the fire-wound; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, it is the plague of leprosy. ²⁶ But if the priest see it, and, behold, there be in the bright spot no white hair, and it be not lower than the skin, and it be pale: then shall the priest shut him up seven days. ²⁷ And the priest shall see him on the seventh day: if now it have spread abroad in the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy. ²⁸ And if the bright spot remain in its place, and it have not spread abroad in the skin, and it be pale: it is a swelling of the fire-wound; and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is a scar of the fire-wound. ²⁹ And if there be a man or woman on whom there arise a plague, on the head or on the beard; ³⁰ Then shall the priest see the plague; and, behold, if its appearance be deeper than the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin hair: then shall the priest pronounce him unclean, it is a dry scall, it is the leprosy of the head or of the beard. ³¹ And if the priest see the plague of the scall, and, behold, its appearance be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it: then shall the priest shut up the plague of the scall seven days. ³² And the priest shall see the plague on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scall have not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin: ³³ Then shall he be shaved, but the scall he shall not shave; and the priest shall shut up the scall seven days more. ³⁴ And the priest shall see the scall on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scall have not spread in the skin, and its appearance be not deeper than the skin: then shall the priest pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. ³⁵ But if the scall should spread abroad in the skin after his being pronounced clean: ³⁶ Then shall the priest see him; and, behold, if the scall have spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean. ³⁷ But if the scall have remained stationary in its color, and black hair have grown up therein: the scall is then healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. ³⁸ And if there be a man or a woman having in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots; ³⁹ And if the priest do see, and, behold, there are in the skin of their flesh bright spots, pale and white: it is a freckly eruption grown in the skin; he is clean. ⁴⁰ And if there be a man whose hair of the head fall off, he is a bald head; he is clean. ⁴¹ And if from the side of his face his hair fall off, he is forehead-bald; he is clean. ⁴² But if there be on the bald head, or the bald forehead, an eruption, white and dark red: it is the leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead. ⁴³ And the priest shall see him; and, behold, if the swelling of the eruption be white and dark red on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy on the other parts of the skin of the flesh: ⁴⁴ He is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him unclean; his plague is on his head. ⁴⁵ And the leper on whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head shall be bare, and he shall cover himself up to his upper lip, and, Unclean, unclean, shall he call out. ⁴⁶ All the days whereon the plague which rendereth unclean is on him, he shall be unclean; alone shall he dwell; without the camp shall his habitation be. ⁴⁷ And if there be a garment on which there arise a plague of leprosy, whether it be on a woollen garment, or on a linen garment; ⁴⁸ Whether it be on the warp, or on the woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether on a skin, or on any thing made of skin; ⁴⁹ And the plague be dark green or dark red, on the garment, or on the skin, or on the warp, or on the woof, or on any article made of skin: it is the plague of leprosy; and it shall be shown unto the priest. ⁵⁰ And the priest shall see the plague, and shut up the plague seven days. ⁵¹ And if he see the plague on the seventh day, that the plague have spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, or in any article that is made of skin: the plague is a corroding leprosy; it is unclean. ⁵² And he shall then burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any article of skin, whereon the plague is; for it is a corroding leprosy, in fire shall it be burnt. ⁵³ And if the priest shall see, and, behold, the plague have not spread on the garment, either on the warp, or on the woof, or on any article of skin: ⁵⁴ Then shall the priest command that they wash the thing whereon the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more. ⁵⁵ And if the priest see, after the plague hath been washed, and, behold, the plague have not changed its color, and the plague have not spread: it is unclean, in fire shalt thou burn it; it is a decay on its inside or on its outside. ⁵⁶ And if the priest see, and, behold, the plague have become pale after its having been washed: then shall he tear it out from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof. ⁵⁷ And if it appear again on the garment, either on the warp, or on the woof, or on any instrument of skin: it is a growing plague; with fire shalt thou burn that whereon the plague is. ⁵⁸ And the garment, either the warp or the woof, or every instrument of skin, which thou shalt wash, and the plague depart therefrom, shall be washed the second time, when it shall be clean. ⁵⁹ This is the law of the plague of leprosy on a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or any article of skin, to pronounce it clean, or unclean.

¹ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ² This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his being cleansed: He shall be brought unto the priest. ³ And the priest shall go forth to without the camp; and if the priest see, and, behold, the plague of leprosy be healed on the leper: ⁴ Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two healthy, clean birds, and cedar wood, and a string of scarlet yarn, and hyssop. ⁵ And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. ⁶ As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the string of scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, and he shall dip these and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: ⁷ And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times; and when he hath cleansed him, he shall let the living bird fly forth into the open field. ⁸ And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, and he shall be clean, and after that he may come into the camp; but he shall tarry outside of his tent seven days. ⁹ And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave off all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair shall he shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, he shall also wash his flesh in water, when he shall be clean. ¹⁰ And on the eighth day he shall take two sheep without blemish, and one ewe of the first year without blemish, and three-tenth parts of fine flour for a meat-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. ¹¹ And the priest who cleanseth shall cause the man that is to be made clean, and these things, to stand before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: ¹² And the priest shall take the one sheep, and offer the same for a trespass-offering, with the log of oil; and he shall make with them a waving before the Lord. ¹³ And he shall slay the sheep on the place where the sin-offering and the burnt-offering are killed, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering so doth the trespass-offering belong to the priest: it is most holy. ¹⁴ And 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. ¹⁵ And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. ¹⁶ And the priest shall dip his finger of the right hand in the oil that is in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle of the oil 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 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. ¹⁸ And what is left of the oil that is in the priest’s hand, he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall thus make an atonement for him before the Lord. ¹⁹ And the priest shall prepare the sin-offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward shall he kill the burnt-offering: ²⁰ And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the meat-offering upon the altar; and the priest shall thus make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. ²¹ But if he be poor, and his means do not suffice, then shall he take one sheep for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him; and one-tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat-offering, and a log of oil; ²² And two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, for which his means suffice; and one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering. ²³ And he shall bring them on the eighth day of his being cleansed unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord. ²⁴ And the priest shall take the sheep of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil; and the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord. ²⁵ And he shall kill the sheep 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. ²⁶ And some of the oil shall the priest pour into the palm of his own left hand: ²⁷ And the priest shall sprinkle with his finger of the right hand some 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 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; ²⁹ And what is left 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. ³⁰ And he shall offer the one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, from what his means enable him to bring; ³¹ Even what his means enable him, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meat-offering: and the priest shall thus make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed, before the Lord. ³² This is the law of him on whom is the plague of leprosy, whose means are not sufficient when he is cleansed. ³³ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, ³⁴ When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy on a house of the land of your possession: ³⁵ Then shall he that owneth the house come and tell the priest, saying, Something like a leprosy hath shown itself to me in the house. ³⁶ And the priest shall command that they clear out the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all be not made unclean that is in the house: and after this shall the priest go in to see the house. ³⁷ And he shall view the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house, in depressions, dark green or dark red, and their appearance be deeper than the wall: ³⁸ Then shall the priest go out of the house to the door of the house, and lock up the house seven days. ³⁹ And the priest shall come again on the seventh day; and if he see, that, behold, the plague have spread in the walls of the house: ⁴⁰ Then shall the priest command that they break out the stones on which the plague is; and they shall cast them forth without the city on an unclean place. ⁴¹ And the house he shall cause to be scraped within round about; and they shall pour out the rubbish that they have scraped off without the city on an unclean place. ⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them into the place of these stones; and other mortar shall he take, and shall plaster the house. ⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it hath been plastered: ⁴⁴ Then shall the priest come; and if he see that, behold, the plague have spread in the house, it is a corrosive leprosy in the house; it is unclean. ⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, its stones, and the timbers thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth to without the city, unto an unclean place. ⁴⁶ And he that goeth into the house, all the days that it is locked up, shall be unclean until the evening. ⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. ⁴⁸ But if the priest should come in, and see, and, behold, the plague have not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then shall the priest pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. ⁴⁹ And he shall take, to atone for the house, two birds, and cedar wood, and a string of scarlet yarn, and hyssop; ⁵⁰ And he shall kill the one bird in an earthen vessel over running water; ⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle on the house seven times: ⁵² And he shall atone for 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 string of scarlet yarn; ⁵³ But he shall let fly forth the living bird out of the city into the open field, and make thus an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. ⁵⁴ This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, ⁵⁵ And for the leprosy of a garment and of a house, ⁵⁶ And for a swelling, and for a rising, and for a bright spot; ⁵⁷ To teach on the day when something is unclean, and on the day when it is clean: this is the law of the leprosy.
