King James Version, Updated™

(1) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

(2) "This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing; He shall be brought to the priest.

(3) The priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

(4) then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two live clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

(5) 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) He shall sprinkle it on him who 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 who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean; and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall remain outside of his tent seven days.

(9) It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows; he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his body in water, and he shall be clean.

(10) And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a grain offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

(11) The priest that makes him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

(12) And the priest shall take one male lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

(13) He shall kill the lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering; it is most holy.

(14) And 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 that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great 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) 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.

(17) And from the rest of the oil that is in his hand the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering.

(18) The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour on the head of him that is to be cleansed; the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.

(19) And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.

(20) The priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar, and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

(21) But if he is poor, and cannot afford so much, then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil,

(22) and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

(23) He shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.

(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.

(25) And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

(26) 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) 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 great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.

(29) The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.

(30) And he shall offer one of the turtledoves, or young pigeons, such as he is able to obtain,

(31) such as he is able to obtain, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the grain offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD.

(32) This is the law for him who has the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to obtain the offering for his cleansing."

(33) The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

(34) "When YOU come into the land of Canaan, which I give to YOU as a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house in the land of YOUR possession,

(35) and he that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'It seems to me there is a plague in the house.'

(36) Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house is not made unclean, and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.

(37) And he shall look at the plague, and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with a greenish or reddish depression, which in sight are deeper than the wall’s surface,

(38) then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

(39) The priest shall return on the seventh day, and shall look, and, behold, if the plague is spread in the walls of the house,

(40) then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is found, and they shall cast them in an unclean place outside the city.

(41) He shall cause the house to be scraped inside all around, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city in an unclean place.

(42) They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other morter, and shall plaster the house.

(43) If the plague returns, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered,

(44) then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague is spread in the house, it is a corroding leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

(45) And he shall break down the house, its stones, and timber, and all the morter of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city to an unclean place.

(46) Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

(47) He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

(48) If the priest shall come in, and look at it, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

(49) To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

(50) He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water,

(51) and he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, 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.

(52) He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.

(53) Then he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

(54) This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and scab,

(55) and for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

(56) and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot,

(57) to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean; this is the law of leprosy."
