14 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest.
3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look and seeing that the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
4 the priest shall command to take for the one that is to be purified two birds, alive and clean, and cedar wood and scarlet and hyssop;
5 and the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel upon living water;
6 then he shall take the living bird and the cedar wood, and the scarlet and the hyssop and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the living water;
7 and he shall sprinkle upon the one that is to be purified from the leprosy seven times and shall pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
8 And he that is to be purified shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and wash himself with water, and he shall be clean; and after that he shall come into the camp and shall dwell outside of his tent seven days.
9 But it shall be that on the seventh day he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows; finally he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash his clothes; also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
10 ¶ And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish and three tenth deals of fine flour for a present, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 And the priest that purifies him shall present the one that is to be made clean with those things, before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony;
12 and the priest shall take one he lamb and offer him for expiation of the guilt, with the log of oil, and wave them for a waved offering before the LORD.
13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where they kill the sin and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary, for that offered as sin is the priest’s, together with that offered as guilt; it is most holy.
14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the expiation for the guilt, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot.
15 Likewise 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 right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.
17 And of that which is left of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the expiation for the guilt;
18 and that which is left of the oil that is in the priest’s hand, he shall pour upon the head of the one that is to be purified; and thus shall the priest reconcile him before the LORD.
19 And the priest shall offer the sin and reconcile the one that is to be purified from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.
20 And the priest shall cause the burnt offering and the present to be lifted upon the altar, and thus shall the priest reconcile him, and he shall be clean.
21 ¶ But if he is poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for expiation of the guilt to be waved, to reconcile himself, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a present, and a log of oil;
22 and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be as the sin, and the other as a burnt offering.
23 And he shall bring these things on the eighth day of his purification unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, before the LORD.
24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the expiation of the guilt, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a waved offering before the LORD;
25 then he shall kill the lamb of the expiation of the guilt, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the expiation of the guilt and put it upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot.
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,
27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD.
28 The priest shall also put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot in the place of the blood of the expiation for the guilt.
29 And what is left of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of the one that is to be purified, to reconcile him before the LORD.
30 Likewise he shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, such as he can get,
31 one of such as he is able to get as sin, and the other for a burnt offering, with the present; and thus shall the priest reconcile the one that is to be purified before the LORD.
32 This is the law of the one who has had the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which is prescribed for his purification.
33 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34 When ye are entered into the land of Canaan, which I give to you in possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession,
35 the one that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, Something like unto a plague has appeared in my house.
36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes into it to see the plague so that all that is in the house is not contaminated; and afterward the priest shall go in to recognize the house.
37 And he shall look on the plague, and if the plague is seen in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be lower than the wall,
38 the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days.
39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day and shall look; and if the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
40 then the priest shall command that they remove the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them outside the city into an unclean place;
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place;
42 and they shall take other stones and put them in the place of the stones that were removed; and he shall take other mortar and shall plaster the house.
43 And if the plague comes again and breaks out in the house after he has taken away the stones and after he has scraped the house and after it is plastered,
44 then the priest shall come in and look; and if the plague appears to have spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
45 Then he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timbers, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46 Moreover he that enters into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
47 And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and he that eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 But if the priest shall come in and look upon it, and see that the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the plague is healed.
49 Then to remove the sin from the house he shall take two birds and cedar wood and scarlet and hyssop,
50 and he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over living water,
51 and he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the scarlet and the living bird and dip them all in the blood of the slain bird and in the living water and sprinkle the house seven times.
52 And he shall remove the sin from the house with the blood of the bird and with the living water and with the living bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the scarlet.
53 Then he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields; and thus shall he reconcile 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 rising and for a scab and for a bright spot,
57 to teach when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
A Prayer of David.
1 ¶ Hear righteousness, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that does not go out of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold uprightness.
3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast refined me and hast found no iniquity; that which I thought did not pass through my mouth.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have observed the ways of the violent.
5 Sustain my steps in thy ways that my footsteps not slip.
6 I have called upon thee, because thou dost hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me and hear my speech.
7 Show thy mercy to be marvellous, O Saviour of those who put their trust in thee, from those that rise up against thy right hand.
8 ¶ Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me with the shadow of thy wings,
9 from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are closed in with their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes upon throwing us down to the earth
12 like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, with thy sword;
14 from men, with thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, who have their portion in this life and whose belly thou dost fill with thy provision: they satisfy their sons and leave the rest to their family.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness.
28 ¶ The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a young lion.
2 ¶ By the rebellion of the land, many are its princes, but by the man of understanding and wisdom the land shall remain stable.
3 ¶ A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.
4 ¶ Those that forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 ¶ Evil men do not understand judgment, but those that seek the LORD understand all things.
6 ¶ Better is the poor that walks in his perfection than he that is perverse in his ways, though he is rich.
7 ¶ Whosoever keeps the law is a wise son, but he that is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8 ¶ He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 ¶ He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 ¶ Whosoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit, but the perfect shall inherit every good thing.
11 ¶ The rich man is wise in his own conceit, but the poor that has understanding is wiser than he.
12 ¶ When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, the sane man hides himself.
13 ¶ He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesses and forsakes them shall attain mercy.
14 ¶ Blessed is the man that fears God always, but he that hardens his heart shall fall into evil.
15 ¶ As a roaring lion and a hungry bear, so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 ¶ The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor, but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 ¶ A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee all the way to the grave, and no one shall sustain him.
18 ¶ Whosoever walks in integrity shall be saved, but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall into one of them.
19 ¶ He that tills his land shall be filled with bread, but he that follows after vain persons shall be filled with poverty.
20 ¶ The man of truth shall abound with blessings, but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be absolved.
21 ¶ To have respect of persons in judgment is not good; even for a piece of bread, man will transgress.
22 ¶ He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye and does not consider that poverty shall come upon him.
23 ¶ He that rebukes a man, afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
24 ¶ Whosoever robs his father or his mother and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of the destroyer.
25 ¶ He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife, but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
26 ¶ He that trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whosoever walks in wisdom, he shall be saved.
27 ¶ He that gives unto the poor shall never lack, but he that hides his eyes from the poor shall have many a curse.
28 ¶ When the wicked rise, sane men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous multiply.
2 ¶ Now we beseech you, brethren, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together unto him,
2 that ye not be easily shaken in understanding or be troubled neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter as from us, as if the day of Christ is at hand.
3 ¶ Let no one deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
4 opposing and exalting himself against all that is called God, or divinity, so that he as God sits in the temple of God, making himself appear to be God.
5 Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And ye know what impedes this now, that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity is already working, except that he who dominates now will dominate until he is taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth and remove with the clarity of his coming:
9 that wicked one, who shall come by the working of Satan with great power and signs and lying miracles,
10 and with all deception of iniquity working in those that perish because they did not receive the charity of the truth, to be saved.
11 Therefore, for this cause, God shall send the operation of error in them, that they should believe the lie;
12 that they all might be condemned who did not believe the truth, but consented to the iniquity.
13 ¶ But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to saving health through the sanctification of the Spirit and faith in the truth,
14 unto which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and retain the doctrine which ye have been taught, whether by word or our epistle.
16 ¶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, even our Father, who has loved us and has given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace,
17 comfort your hearts and confirm you in every good word and work.
