14:1 The Lord spoke to Moses: 14:2 “This is the law of the diseased person on the day of his purification, when 1 he is brought to the priest. 2 14:3 The priest is to go outside the camp and examine the infection. 3 If the infection of the diseased person has been healed, 4 14:4 then the priest will command that two live clean birds, a piece of cedar wood, a scrap of crimson fabric, 5 and some twigs of hyssop 6 be taken up 7 for the one being cleansed. 8 14:5 The priest will then command that one bird be slaughtered 9 into a clay vessel over fresh water. 10 14:6 Then 11 he is to take the live bird along with the piece of cedar wood, the scrap of crimson fabric, and the twigs of hyssop, and he is to dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird slaughtered over the fresh water, 14:7 and sprinkle it seven times on the one being cleansed 12 from the disease, pronounce him clean, 13 and send the live bird away over the open countryside. 14
14:8 “The one being cleansed 15 must then wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe in water, and so be clean. 16 Then afterward he may enter the camp, but he must live outside his tent seven days. 14:9 When the seventh day comes 17 he must shave all his hair – his head, his beard, his eyebrows, all his hair – and he must wash his clothes, bathe his body in water, and so be clean. 18
14:10 “On the eighth day he 19 must take two flawless male lambs, one flawless yearling female lamb, three-tenths of an ephah of choice wheat flour as a grain offering mixed with olive oil, 20 and one log of olive oil, 21 14:11 and the priest who pronounces him clean will have the man who is being cleansed stand along with these offerings 22 before the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.
14:12 “The priest is to take one male lamb 23 and present it for a guilt offering 24 along with the log of olive oil and present them as a wave offering before the Lord. 25 14:13 He must then slaughter 26 the male lamb in the place where 27 the sin offering 28 and the burnt offering 29 are slaughtered, 30 in the sanctuary, because, like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; 31 it is most holy. 14:14 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one being cleansed, 32 on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe 33 of his right foot. 14:15 The priest will then take some of the log of olive oil and pour it into his own left hand. 34 14:16 Then the priest is to dip his right forefinger into the olive oil 35 that is in his left hand, and sprinkle some of the olive oil with his finger seven times before the Lord. 14:17 The priest will then put some of the rest of the olive oil that is in his hand 36 on the right earlobe of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt offering, 14:18 and the remainder of the olive oil 37 that is in his hand the priest is to put on the head of the one being cleansed. So the priest is to make atonement for him before the Lord.
14:19 “The priest must then perform the sin offering 38 and make atonement for the one being cleansed from his impurity. After that he 39 is to slaughter the burnt offering, 14:20 and the priest is to offer 40 the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest is to make atonement for him and he will be clean.
14:21 “If the person is poor and does not have sufficient means, 41 he must take one male lamb as a guilt offering for a wave offering to make atonement for himself, one-tenth of an ephah of choice wheat flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of olive oil, 42 14:22 and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, 43 which are within his means. 44 One will be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. 45
14:23 “On the eighth day he must bring them for his purification to the priest at the entrance 46 of the Meeting Tent before the Lord, 14:24 and the priest is to take the male lamb of the guilt offering and the log of olive oil and wave them 47 as a wave offering before the Lord. 14:25 Then he is to slaughter the male lamb of the guilt offering, and the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one being cleansed, 48 on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe 49 of his right foot. 14:26 The priest will then pour some of the olive oil into his own left hand, 50 14:27 and sprinkle some of the olive oil that is in his left hand with his right forefinger 51 seven times before the Lord. 14:28 Then the priest is to put some of the olive oil that is in his hand 52 on the right earlobe of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering, 14:29 and the remainder of the olive oil that is in the hand 53 of the priest he is to put 54 on the head of the one being cleansed to make atonement for him before the Lord.
14:30 “He will then make one of the turtledoves 55 or young pigeons, which are within his means, 56 14:31 a sin offering and the other a burnt offering along with the grain offering. 57 So the priest is to make atonement for the one being cleansed before the Lord. 14:32 This is the law of the one in whom there is a diseased infection, 58 who does not have sufficient means for his purification.” 59
14:33 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 14:34 “When you enter the land of Canaan which I am about to give 60 to you for a possession, and I put 61 a diseased infection in a house in the land you are to possess, 62 14:35 then whoever owns the house 63 must come and declare to the priest, ‘Something like an infection is visible to me in the house.’ 14:36 Then the priest will command that the house be cleared 64 before the priest enters to examine the infection 65 so that everything in the house 66 does not become unclean, 67 and afterward 68 the priest will enter to examine the house. 14:37 He is to examine the infection, and if 69 the infection in the walls of the house consists of yellowish green or reddish eruptions, 70 and it appears to be deeper than the surface of the wall, 71 14:38 then the priest is to go out of the house to the doorway of the house and quarantine the house for seven days. 72 14:39 The priest must return on the seventh day and examine it, and if 73 the infection has spread in the walls of the house,
