Leviticus 14:1-32
1599 Geneva Bible
14 1 The cleansing of the leper, 34 And of the house that he is in.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 (A)This is the [a]law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: that is, he shall be brought unto the Priest,
3 And the Priest shall go out of the camp, and the Priest shall consider him: and if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper,
4 Then shall the Priest command to take for him that is cleansed, two [b]sparrows alive and [c]clean, and cedarwood and a scarlet lace, and hyssop.
5 And the Priest shall command to kill one of the birds over [d]pure water in an earthen vessel.
6 After, he shall take the live sparrow with the cedarwood, and the scarlet lace, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living sparrow in the blood of the sparrow slain, over the pure water.
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him, that must be cleansed of his leprosy, seven times, and cleanse him, and shall [e]let go the live sparrow into the broad field.
8 Then he that shall be cleansed, shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, so he shall be clean: after that shall he come into the host, and shall tarry without his tent seven days.
9 So in the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair both his head and his beard, and his eyebrows: even all his hair shall be shaven, and shall wash his clothes, and shall wash his flesh in water: so he shall be clean.
10 Then in the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without [f]blemish, and an ewe lamb of a year old without blemish, and three-tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, [g]and a pint of oil.
11 And the Priest that maketh him clean shall bring the man which is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
12 Then the Priest shall take one lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the pint of oil, and (B)shake them to and fro before the Lord.
13 And he shall kill the lamb in the place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slain, even in the holy place: for as the (C)sin offering is the Priest’s, so is the trespass offering: for it is most holy.
14 So the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the lap of the right ear of him that shall be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
15 The Priest shall also take of the pint of oil, and pour it into the palm of his left hand,
16 And the Priest shall dip his [h]right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and 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 lap 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, [i]where the blood of the trespass offering was put.
18 But the remnant of the oil that is in the Priest’s hand, he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.
19 And the Priest shall offer the burnt offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed of his uncleanness: then after shall he kill the burnt offering.
20 So the Priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the Altar: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him: so he shall be clean.
21 But if he be poor, and not [j]able, then he shall bring one lamb for a trespass offering to be shaken, for his reconciliation, and a [k]tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil, for a meat offering, with a pint of oil.
22 Also two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, as he is able, whereof the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering,
23 And he shall bring them the eighth day for his cleansing unto the Priest at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.
24 Then the Priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the pint of oil, and the Priest shall [l]shake them to and fro before the Lord.
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the lap of his right ear that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
26 Also the Priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own [m]left hand.
27 So the Priest shall with his right finger sprinkle of the oil that is in his left hand, seven times before the Lord.
28 Then the Priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand, upon the lap 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 [n]of the blood of the trespass offering.
29 But the rest 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 Also he shall present one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, [o]as he is able.
31 Such, I say, as he is able, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, [p]with the meat offering: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.
32 This is the [q]Law of him which hath the plague of leprosy, who is not able in his cleansing to offer the whole.
