| 1 | The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, | The LORD said to Moses: | The LORD said to Moses, | |
| 2 | “This shall be the law of the leprous person for the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest, | This is the ritual for someone that had a scaly infection at the time of that person’s purification. The individual shall be brought to the priest, | “These are the regulations for any diseased person at the time of their ceremonial cleansing, when they are brought to the priest: | |
| 3 | and the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall look. Then, if the case of leprous disease is healed in the leprous person, | who is to go outside the camp. If the priest, upon inspection, finds that the scaly infection has healed in the afflicted person, | The priest is to go outside the camp and examine them. If they have been healed of their defiling skin disease, | |
| 4 | the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two live clean birds and cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop. | he shall order that two live, clean birds, as well as some cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be obtained for the one who is to be purified. | the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop be brought for the person to be cleansed. | |
| 5 | And the priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh water. | The priest shall then order that one of the birds be slaughtered over an earthen vessel with fresh water in it. | Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot. | |
| 6 | He shall take the live bird with the cedarwood and the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water. | Taking the living bird with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, the priest shall dip them, including the live bird, in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water, | He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water. | |
| 7 | And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed of the leprous disease. Then he shall pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird go into the open field. | and then sprinkle seven times on the person to be purified from the scaly infection. When he has thus purified that person, he shall let the living bird fly away over the countryside. | Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the defiling disease, and then pronounce them clean. After that, he is to release the live bird in the open fields. | |
| 8 | And 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. And after that he may come into the camp, but live outside his tent seven days. | The person being purified shall then wash his garments, shave off all hair, and bathe in water, and so become clean. After this the person may come inside the camp, but shall still remain outside his or her tent for seven days. | “The person to be cleansed must wash their clothes, shave off all their hair and bathe with water; then they will be ceremonially clean. After this they may come into the camp, but they must stay outside their tent for seven days. | |
| 9 | And on the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair from his head, his beard, and his eyebrows. He shall shave off all his hair, and then he shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean. | On the seventh day this individual shall again shave off all hair, of the head, beard, and eyebrows—all hair must be shaved—and also wash his garments and bathe the body in water, and so become clean. | On the seventh day they must shave off all their hair; they must shave their head, their beard, their eyebrows and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes and bathe themselves with water, and they will be clean. | |
| 10 | “And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and a grain offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, and one log of oil. | On the eighth day the individual shall take two unblemished male lambs, one unblemished yearling ewe lamb, three tenths of an ephah of bran flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil. | “On the eighth day they must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb a year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil. | |
| 11 | And the priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed and these things before the LORD, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. | The priest who performs the purification ceremony shall place the person who is being purified, as well as all these offerings, before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting. | The priest who pronounces them clean shall present both the one to be cleansed and their offerings before the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting. | |
| 12 | And the priest shall take one of the male lambs and offer it for a guilt offering, along with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. | Taking one of the male lambs, the priest shall present it as a reparation offering, along with the log of oil, raising them as an elevated offering before the LORD. | “Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering, along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before the LORD as a wave offering. | |
| 13 | And he shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary. For the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest; it is most holy. | This lamb shall be slaughtered in the sacred place where the purification offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered, because the reparation offering is like the purification offering; it belongs to the priest and is most holy. | He is to slaughter the lamb in the sanctuary area where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy. | |
| 14 | The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the lobe 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. | Then the priest shall take some of the blood of the reparation offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified. | The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. | |
| 15 | Then the priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand | The priest shall also take the log of oil and pour some of it into the palm of his own left hand; | The priest shall then take some of the log of oil, pour it in the palm of his own left hand, | |
| 16 | and dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and sprinkle some oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. | then, dipping his right finger in the oil on his left palm, he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the LORD. | dip his right forefinger into the oil in his palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of it before the LORD seven times. | |
| 17 | And some of the oil that remains in his hand the priest shall put on the lobe 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 top of the blood of the guilt offering. | Of the oil left in his hand the priest shall put some on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified, over the blood of the reparation offering. | The priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering. | |
| 18 | And 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. Then the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD. | The rest of the oil in his hand the priest shall put on the head of the one being purified. Thus shall the priest make atonement for the individual before the LORD. | The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed and make atonement for them before the LORD. | |
| 19 | The priest shall offer the sin offering, to make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. And afterward he shall kill the burnt offering. | The priest shall next offer the purification offering, thus making atonement on behalf of the one being purified from the uncleanness. After this the burnt offering shall be slaughtered. | “Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from their uncleanness. After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering | |
| 20 | And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. | The priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar before the LORD. Thus shall the priest make atonement for the person, and the individual will become clean. | and offer it on the altar, together with the grain offering, and make atonement for them, and they will be clean. | |
| 21 | “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 a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil; | If a person is poor and cannot afford so much, that person shall take one male lamb for a reparation offering, to be used as an elevated offering in atonement, one tenth of an ephah of bran flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, a log of oil, | “If, however, they are poor and cannot afford these, they must take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for them, together with a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of oil, | |
| 22 | also two turtledoves or two pigeons, whichever he can afford. The one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. | and two turtledoves or pigeons, which the individual can more easily afford, the one as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering. | and two doves or two young pigeons, such as they can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. | |
| 23 | And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, before the LORD. | On the eighth day of purification the person shall bring them to the priest, at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD. | “On the eighth day they must bring them for their cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting, before the LORD. | |
| 24 | And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. | Taking the lamb of the reparation offering, along with the log of oil, the priest shall raise them as an elevated offering before the LORD. | The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering, together with the log of oil, and wave them before the LORD as a wave offering. | |
| 25 | And 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 lobe 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. | When the lamb of the reparation offering has been slaughtered, the priest shall take some of its blood, and put it on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified. | He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. | |
| 26 | And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand, | The priest shall then pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand | The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand, | |
| 27 | and shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. | and with his right finger sprinkle some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the LORD. | and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before the LORD. | |
| 28 | And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the lobe 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, in the place where the blood of the guilt offering was put. | Some of the oil in his hand the priest shall also put on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified, where he had sprinkled the blood of the reparation offering. | Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering—on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. | |
| 29 | And 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. | The rest of the oil in his hand the priest shall put on the head of the one being purified. Thus shall he make atonement for the individual before the LORD. | The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the LORD. | |
| 30 | And he shall offer, of the turtledoves or pigeons, whichever he can afford, | Then, of the turtledoves or pigeons, such as the person can afford, | Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford, | |
| 31 | one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, along with a grain offering. And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD for him who is being cleansed. | the priest shall offer one as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering, along with the grain offering.

| 32 | This is the law for him in whom is a case of leprous disease, who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing.” | This is the ritual for one afflicted with a scaly infection who has insufficient means for purification. | These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease and who cannot afford the regular offerings for their cleansing. | |
| 33 | The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, | The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: | The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, | |
| 34 | “When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a case of leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession, | When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you to possess, if I put a fungal infection in any house of the land you occupy, | “When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mold in a house in that land, | |
| 35 | then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘There seems to me to be some case of disease in my house.’ | the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, “Something like an infection has appeared in my house.” | the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’ | |
| 36 | Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all that is in the house be declared unclean. And afterward the priest shall go in to see the house. | The priest shall then order the house to be cleared out before he goes in to examine the infection, lest everything in the house become unclean. Only after this is he to go in to examine the house. | The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house. | |
| 37 | And he shall examine the disease. And if the disease is in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots, and if it appears to be deeper than the surface, | If the priest, upon inspection, finds that the infection on the walls of the house consists of greenish or reddish spots which seem to go deeper than the surface of the wall, | He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall, | |
| 38 | then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days. | he shall go out of the house to the doorway and quarantine the house for seven days. | the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days. | |
| 39 | And the priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the disease has spread in the walls of the house, | On the seventh day the priest shall return. If, upon inspection, he finds that the infection has spread on the walls, | On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls, | |
| 40 | then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the disease and throw them into an unclean place outside the city. | he shall order the infected stones to be pulled out and cast in an unclean place outside the city. | he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town. | |
| 41 | And he shall have the inside of the house scraped all around, and the plaster that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. | The whole inside of the house shall then be scraped, and the mortar that has been scraped off shall be dumped in an unclean place outside the city. | He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town. | |
| 42 | Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house. | Then other stones shall be brought and put in the place of the old stones, and new mortar obtained and plastered on the house. | Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house. | |
| 43 | “If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it, | If the infection breaks out once more in the house after the stones have been pulled out and the house has been scraped and replastered, | “If the defiling mold reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered, | |
| 44 | then the priest shall go and look. And if the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprous disease in the house; it is unclean. | the priest shall come; and if, upon inspection, he finds that the infection has spread in the house, it is a corrosive fungus in the house, and it is unclean. | the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mold has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mold; the house is unclean. | |
| 45 | And he shall break down the house, its stones and timber and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city to an unclean place. | It shall be pulled down, and all its stones, beams and mortar shall be hauled away to an unclean place outside the city. | It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place. | |
| 46 | Moreover, whoever enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening, | Whoever enters a house while it is quarantined shall be unclean until evening. | “Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening. | |
| 47 | and whoever sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes. | Whoever sleeps or eats in such a house shall also wash his garments. | Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes. | |
| 48 | “But if the priest comes and looks, and if the disease has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the disease is healed. | If the priest finds, when he comes to the house, that the infection has in fact not spread in the house after the plastering, he shall declare the house clean, since the infection has been healed. | “But if the priest comes to examine it and the mold has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the defiling mold is gone. | |
| 49 | And for the cleansing of the house he shall take two small birds, with cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop, | To purify the house, he shall take two birds, as well as cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop. | To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop. | |
| 50 | and shall kill one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh water | One of the birds he shall slaughter over an earthen vessel with fresh water in it. | He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. | |
| 51 | and shall take the cedarwood and the hyssop and the scarlet yarn, along with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed and in the fresh water and sprinkle the house seven times. | Then, taking the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn, together with the living bird, he shall dip them all in the blood of the slaughtered bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. | Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. | |
| 52 | Thus he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the fresh water and with the live bird and with the cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn. | Thus he shall purify the house with the bird’s blood and the fresh water, along with the living bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn. | He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. | |
| 53 | And he shall let the live bird go out of the city into the open country. So he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.” | He shall then let the living bird fly away over the countryside outside the city. Thus he shall make atonement for the house, and it will be clean. | Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.” | |
| 54 | This is the law for any case of leprous disease: for an itch, | This is the ritual for every kind of human scaly infection and scall, | These are the regulations for any defiling skin disease, for a sore, | |
| 55 | for leprous disease in a garment or in a house, | and for fungus diseases in garments and houses— | for defiling molds in fabric or in a house, | |
| 56 | and for a swelling or an eruption or a spot, | for marks, lesions and blotches— | and for a swelling, a rash or a shiny spot, | |
| 57 | to show when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law for leprous disease. | to give direction when there is a state of uncleanness and when a state of cleanness. This is the ritual for scaly infection. | to determine when something is clean or unclean. These are the regulations for defiling skin diseases and defiling molds. | |
