Leviticus 14:1-11 ▼

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. And he shall be brought to the priest,

3 and the priest shall go out to the outside of the camp. And the priest shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of the leprosy is healed in the leper,

4 then the priest shall command, and he shall take for the one being cleansed two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop.

5 And the priest shall command, and he shall slaughter one of the birds in an earthen vessel over living water.

6 The living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the living water.

7 And he shall sprinkle it on the one being cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and he shall send out the living bird upon the face of the field.

8 And the one being cleansed shall wash his clothes and he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash himself in the water, and he shall be clean. And afterward he shall come into the camp, and he shall dwell outside of his tent seven days.

9 And on the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair—his head and his beard and his eyebrows—and all his hair he shall shave off. And he shall wash his clothes, and he shall wash his flesh in the water, and he shall be clean.

10 And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs, unblemished, and one ewe lamb, a daughter of a year, unblemished, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with the oil, and one log of oil.

11 And the priest, the one cleansing, shall present the man, the one being cleansed, and together with these before the face of YHWH at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
