Leviticus, starting at chapter 13
{13:1} The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, {13:2} "When a
man shall have a rising in his body's skin, or a scab, or a bright
spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy,
then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons,
the priests: {13:3} and the priest shall examine the plague in the
skin of the body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and
the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body's skin, it is the
plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him
unclean. {13:4} If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body,
and its appearance isn't deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn't
turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for
seven days. {13:5} The priest shall examine him on the seventh day,
and, behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague
hasn't spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven
more days. {13:6} The priest shall examine him again on the seventh
day; and behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague hasn't spread
in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab.
He shall wash his clothes, and be clean. {13:7} But if the scab
spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his
cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again. {13:8} The
priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the
skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
{13:9} "When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be
brought to the priest; {13:10} and the priest shall examine him.
Behold, if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the
hair white, and there is raw flesh in the rising, {13:11} it is a
chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall
pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.
{13:12} "If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the
leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even
to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest; {13:13} then the
priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all
his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all
turned white: he is clean. {13:14} But whenever raw flesh appears in
him, he shall be unclean. {13:15} The priest shall examine the raw
flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is
leprosy. {13:16} Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to
white, then he shall come to the priest; {13:17} and the priest shall
examine him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the
priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
{13:18} "When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
{13:19} and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a
bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest;
{13:20} and the priest shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance
is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest
shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has
broken out in the boil. {13:21} But if the priest examines it, and
behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn't deeper than the
skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
{13:22} If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him
unclean. It is a plague. {13:23} But if the bright spot stays in its
place, and hasn't spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest
shall pronounce him clean.
{13:24} "Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the
raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
{13:25} then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in
the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than
the skin; it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the
priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
{13:26} But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white
hair in the bright spot, and it isn't lower than the skin, but is
faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days. {13:27} The
priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the
skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of
leprosy. {13:28} If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn't
spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn,
and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the
burn.
{13:29} "When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the
beard, {13:30} then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold,
if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is
yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an
itch, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. {13:31} If the priest
examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn't
deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the
priest shall isolate him the person infected with itching seven days.
{13:32} On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and
behold, if the itch hasn't spread, and there is no yellow hair in it,
and the appearance of the itch isn't deeper than the skin, {13:33}
then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the
priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days. {13:34} On
the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the
itch hasn't spread in the skin, and its appearance isn't deeper than
the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his
clothes, and be clean. {13:35} But if the itch spreads in the skin
after his cleansing, {13:36} then the priest shall examine him; and
behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look
for the yellow hair; he is unclean. {13:37} But if in his eyes the
itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed,
he is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
{13:38} "When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the
body, even white bright spots; {13:39} then the priest shall examine
them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a
dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he
is clean.
{13:40} "If a man's hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is
clean. {13:41} If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his
head, he is forehead bald. He is clean. {13:42} But if there is in the
bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy
breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead. {13:43} Then the
priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is
reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the
appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh, {13:44} he is a
leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him
unclean. His plague is on his head.
{13:45} "The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes,
and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper
lip, and shall cry, 'Unclean! Unclean!' {13:46} All the days in which
the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall
dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.
{13:47} "The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether
it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment; {13:48} whether it is in
warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a skin, or in anything
made of skin; {13:49} if the plague is greenish or reddish in the
garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything made of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown
to the priest. {13:50} The priest shall examine the plague, and
isolate the plague seven days. {13:51} He shall examine the plague on
the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in
the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is
used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean. {13:52}
He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in
linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it is a
destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
{13:53} "If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn't
spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything of skin; {13:54} then the priest shall command that they wash
the thing in which the plague is, and he shall isolate it seven more
days. {13:55} Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is
washed; and behold, if the plague hasn't changed its color, and the
plague hasn't spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It
is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside. {13:56}
If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is
washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin,
or out of the warp, or out of the woof: {13:57} and if it appears
again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in
anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire that in
which the plague is. {13:58} The garment, either the warp, or the
woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the
plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second
time, and it will be clean."
{13:59} This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool
or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to
pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
{14:1} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
{14:2} "This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his
cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest, {14:3} and the priest
shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and
behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper, {14:4} then
the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed
two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
{14:5} The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an
earthen vessel over running water. {14:6} As for the living bird, he
shall take it, 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 running water. {14:7} He shall sprinkle on him who
is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce
him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
{14:8} "He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave
off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean.
After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his
tent seven days. {14:9} It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall
shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even
all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he
shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.
{14:10} "On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without
blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths
of an [1>]efah[<1] of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with
oil, and one log of oil. {14:11} The priest who cleanses him shall set
the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at
the door of the Tent of Meeting.
{14:12} "The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him
for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave
offering before the LORD. {14:13} He shall kill the male lamb in the
place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the
place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is
the trespass offering. It is most holy. {14:14} The priest shall take
some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put
it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on
the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
{14:15} The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into
the palm of his own left hand. {14:16} The priest shall dip his right
finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of
the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. {14:17} The
priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on
the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the
thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon
the blood of the trespass offering. {14:18} The rest of the oil that
is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be
cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
{14:19} "The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement
for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and
afterward he shall kill the burnt offering; {14:20} and the priest
shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The
priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
{14:21} "If he is poor, and can't afford so much, then he shall take
one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement
for him, and one tenth of an efah of fine flour mingled with oil for a
meal offering, and a log of oil; {14:22} and two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a
sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
{14:23} "On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to
the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the LORD.
{14:24} The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and
the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering
before the LORD. {14:25} He shall kill the lamb of the trespass
offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass
offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be
cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of
his right foot. {14:26} The priest shall pour some of the oil into the
palm of his own left hand; {14:27} and the priest shall sprinkle with
his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times
before the LORD. {14:28} Then the priest shall put some of the oil
that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be
cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of
his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
{14:29} The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put
on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him
before the LORD. {14:30} He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of
the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, {14:31} even such as
he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a
burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make
atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD."
{14:32} This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy,
who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
{14:33} The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, {14:34} "When
you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of
your possession, {14:35} then he who owns the house shall come and
tell the priest, saying, 'There seems to me to be some sort of plague
in the house.' {14:36} The priest shall command that they empty the
house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that
is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go
in to inspect the house. {14:37} He shall examine the plague; and
behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow
streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the
wall; {14:38} then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of
the house, and shut up the house seven days. {14:39} The priest shall
come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in
the walls of the house, {14:40} then the priest shall command that
they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an
unclean place outside of the city: {14:41} and he shall cause the
inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out
the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean
place. {14:42} They shall take other stones, and put them in the place
of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the
house.
{14:43} "If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house,
after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house,
and after it was plastered; {14:44} then the priest shall come in and
look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a
destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean. {14:45} He shall break
down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house's
mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
{14:46} "Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up
shall be unclean until the evening. {14:47} He who lies down in the
house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash
his clothes.
{14:48} "If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold,
the plague hasn't spread in the house, after the house was plastered,
then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is
healed. {14:49} To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and
cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. {14:50} He shall kill one of the
birds in an earthen vessel over running water. {14:51} He shall take
the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird,
and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water,
and sprinkle the house seven times. {14:52} He shall cleanse the house
with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the
living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the
scarlet; {14:53} but he shall let the living bird go out of the city
into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it
shall be clean."
{14:54} This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
{14:55} and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,
{14:56} and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
{14:57} to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean.
This is the law of leprosy.
{15:1} The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, {15:2} "Speak
to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When any man has a
discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.
{15:3} This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his
body runs with his discharge, or his body has stopped from his
discharge, it is his uncleanness.
{15:4} "'Every bed whereon he who has the discharge lies shall be
unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean. {15:5} Whoever
touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening. {15:6} He who sits on anything
whereon the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
{15:7} "'He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
evening.
{15:8} "'If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then
he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the evening.
{15:9} "'Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be
unclean. {15:10} Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be
unclean until the evening. He who carries those things shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
{15:11} "'Whoever he who has the discharge touches, without having
rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
{15:12} "'The earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge
touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in
water.
{15:13} "'When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge,
then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash
his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall
be clean.
{15:14} "'On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the Tent of
Meeting, and give them to the priest: {15:15} and the priest shall
offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering. The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD for
his discharge.
{15:16} "'If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall bathe
all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. {15:17}
Every garment, and every skin, whereon the semen is, shall be washed
with water, and be unclean until the evening. {15:18} If a man lies
with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe
themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
{15:19} "'If a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her flesh
is blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whoever touches
her shall be unclean until the evening.
{15:20} "'Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be
unclean. Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean. {15:21}
Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the evening. {15:22} Whoever touches
anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the evening. {15:23} If it is on the bed,
or on anything whereon she sits, when he touches it, he shall be
unclean until the evening.
{15:24} "'If any man lies with her, and her monthly flow is on him,
he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lies shall be
unclean.
{15:25} "'If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in
the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of
her period; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be
as in the days of her period: she is unclean. {15:26} Every bed
whereon she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the
bed of her period: and everything whereon she sits shall be unclean,
as the uncleanness of her period. {15:27} Whoever touches these things
shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the evening.
{15:28} "'But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall
count to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
{15:29} On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of
Meeting. {15:30} The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make
atonement for her before the LORD for the uncleanness of her discharge.
{15:31} "'Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their
uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness, when they
defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.'"
{15:32} This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him who
has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean thereby; {15:33} and
of her who has her period, and of a man or woman who has a discharge,
and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
