   1) Leviticus 14, Leviticus 15   
      
   LEVITICUS 14   
      
   The Law for Cleansing Lepers   
      
   1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:   
   2 (Lk 17:14; Nu 6:9) This shall be the law of the leper in the day   
   of his cleansing: It shall be reported to the priest,   
   3 (Lev 13:46) and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest   
   shall examine him and see if the disease is healed in the leprous person.   
   4 (Nu 19:6; Lev 14:6) Then the priest shall command that two live clean birds   
   and cedar wood and scarlet fabric and hyssop be brought for him   
   who is to be cleansed.   
   5 The priest shall command that one of the birds be slaughtered   
   in a clay vessel over running water.   
   6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood,   
   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.   
   7 (2Ki 5:10; 5:14) Then he shall sprinkle it seven times on him   
   who is to be cleansed from leprosy, and he shall pronounce him   
   clean and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.   
   8 (Lev 11:25; Nu 8:7) He that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes,   
   and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water,   
   so that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp   
    and shall stay outside of his tent seven days.   
   9 (Nu 6:9) But it shall be on the seventh day that he shall shave   
   all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows,   
   all his hair he shall shave off, and he shall wash his clothes.   
    Also he shall wash his body in water, and he shall be clean.   
   10 (Lev 2:1; 14:12) 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 ephah (Or stranger.) of wheat flour mixed   
    with oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil.   
   (About 1/3 quart, or 0.3 liter; and in vv. 12, 15, 21, and 24.)   
   11 The priest who makes him clean shall present the man   
    who is to be made clean and those things before the Lord   
   at the entrance of the tent of meeting.   
   12 (Ex 29:24; Lev 6:6-7) Then the priest shall take one male lamb   
   and offer it for a guilt offering, along with the log of oil,   
   and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.   
   13 (Ex 29:11; Lev 1:11) Then he shall slaughter the lamb in the place   
   where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering in the holy   
   sanctuary. For as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the guilt offering.   
   It is most holy.   
   14 (Ex 29:20; Lev 8:23-24) And the priest shall take some of the blood   
   of the guilt 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.   
   15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm   
   of his own left hand.   
   16 Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is   
   in his left hand, and shall sprinkle from the oil with his finger   
   seven times before the Lord.   
   17 And some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand the priest   
   shall put 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,   
   and on the blood of the guilt offering.   
   18 (Lev 4:26) And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand   
   he shall pour upon the head of him who is to be cleansed,   
   and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.   
   19 (Lev 14:12) The priest shall offer the sin offering,   
   and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed   
   from his ceremonial uncleanness,   
   and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.   
   20 (Lev 14:10) Then the priest shall offer the burnt offering   
   and the grain offering on the altar, and the priest shall   
   make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.   
   21 (Lev 12:8; 5:7) But if he is poor and cannot afford so much,   
   then he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering to be waved   
   to make atonement for him, and one-tenth of an ephah   
   (Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)   
   of wheat flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil,   
   22 and two turtledoves or two pigeons, such as he is able to afford.   
   The one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.   
   23 (Lev 14:10-11) He shall bring them on the eighth day   
   for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance   
   of the tent of meeting before the Lord.   
   24 The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering,   
   along with the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them   
   for a wave offering before the Lord.   
   25 Then he shall kill the lamb of the guilt offering;   
   and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt 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.   
   26 Next the priest shall pour some 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 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 guilt offering.   
   29 (Lev 14:18) The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand   
   he shall pour on the head of him who is to be cleansed to make   
   atonement for him before the Lord.   
   30 (Lev 14:22) He shall offer one of the turtledoves or the pigeons,   
   such as he can afford,   
   31 even such as he is able to get, one for a sin offering   
   and the other for a burnt offering, along with the grain offering,   
   and the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed   
   before the Lord.   
   32 (Lev 14:10; 14:21)This is the law for a person who has a leprous   
   sore who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing.   
      
   Leviticus 14   
   [1] And the LORD spake 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, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;   
   [4] Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed 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 over running water:   
   [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:   
   [7] And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed 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 cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all
