Levitikus 14

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2This is the rite of a leper, when he is to be cleansed: he shall be brought to the priest:

3Who going out of the camp when he shall And that the leprosy is cleansed,

4Shall command him that is to be purified, to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

5And he shall command one of the sparrows to be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters:

6But the other that is alive he shall dip, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet and the hyssop, in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated:

7Wherewith he shall sprinkle him that is to be cleansed seven times, that he may be rightly purified: and he shall let go the living sparrow, that it may fly into the field.

8And when the man hath washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair of his body, and shall be washed with water: and being purified, he shall enter into the camp, yet so that he tarry without his own tent seven days:

9And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard and his eyebrows, and the hair of all his body. And having washed again his clothes, and his body,

10On the eighth day he shall take two lambs without blemish, and an ewe of a year old without blemish, and three tenths of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil apart.

11And when the priest that purifieth the man, hath presented him, and all these things before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,

12He shall take a. lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with the sextary of oil: and having offered all before the Lord,

13He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place: for as that which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth to the priest: it is holy of holies.

14And the priest taking of the blood of the victim that was immolated for trespass, shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot:

15And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left. hand,

16And shall dip his right finger in it, and sprinkle it before the Lord seven times.

17And the rest of the oil in his left band, he shall pour upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, and upon the blood that was shed for trespass,

18And upon his head.

19And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and shall offer the sacrifice for sin: then shall he immolate the holocaust,

20And put it on the altar with the libations thereof, and the man shall be rightly cleansed.

21But if he be poor, and his hand cannot find the things aforesaid: he shall take a lamb for an offering for trespass, that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of hour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil,

22And two turtles or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other for a holocaust:

23And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord.

24And the priest receiving the lamb for trespass, and the sextary of oil, shall elevate them together.

25And the lamb being immolated, he shall put of the blood thereof upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and the great toe of his right foot:

26But he shall pour part of the oil into his own left hand,

27And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord:

28And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, in the place of the blood that was shed for trespass.

29And the other part of the oil that is in his left hand, he shall pour upon the head of the purified person, that he may appease the Lord for him.

30And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon,

31One for trespass, and the other for a holocaust, with their libations.

32This is the sacrifice of a leper, that is not able to have all things that appertain to his cleansing.

33And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

34When you shall be come into the land of Chanaan, which I will give you for a possession, if there be the plague of leprosy in a house,

35He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house,

36And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, lest all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of the house.

37And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all the rest,

38He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days,

39And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread,

40He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place:

41And that the house be scraped on the inside round about, and the dust of the scraping be scattered without the city into an unclean place:

42And that other stones be laid in the place of them that were taken away, and the house be plastered with other mortar.

43But if, after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth,

44The priest going in perceive that the leprosy is returned, and the walls full of spots, it is a lasting leprosy, and the house is unclean:

45And they shall destroy it forthwith, and shall cast the stones and timber thereof, and all the dust without the town into an unclean place.

46He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until evening,

47And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes.

48But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, it being cured,

49And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

50And having immolated one sparrow In an earthen vessel over living waters,

51He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and shall dip all in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated, and in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times:

52And shall purify it as well with the blood of the sparrow, as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and with the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet.

53And when he hath let go the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be rightly cleansed.

54This is the law of every kind of leprosy and stroke.

55Of the leprosy of garments and houses,

56Of a scar and of blisters breaking out, of a shining spot, and when the colours are diversely changed:

57That it may be known when a thing is clean or unclean.

1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

2Hic est ritus leprosi, quando mundandus est. Adducetur ad sacerdotem:

3qui egressus de castris, cum invenerit lepram esse mundatam,

4præcipiet ei, qui purificatur, ut offerat duos passeres vivos pro se, quibus vesci licitum est, et lignum cedrinum, vermiculumque et hyssopum.

5Et unum ex passeribus immolari jubebit in vase fictili super aquas viventes:

6alium autem vivum cum ligno cedrino, et cocco et hyssopo, tinget in sanguine passeris immolati,

7quo asperget illum, qui mundandus est, septies, ut jure purgetur: et dimittet passerem vivum, ut in agrum avolet.

8Cumque laverit homo vestimenta sua, radet omnes pilos corporis, et lavabitur aqua: purificatusque ingredietur castra, ita dumtaxat ut maneat extra tabernaculum suum septem diebus,

9et die septimo radet capillos capitis, barbamque et supercilia, ac totius corporis pilos. Et lotis rursum vestibus et corpore,

10die octavo assumet duos agnos immaculatos, et ovem anniculam absque macula, et tres decimas similæ in sacrificium, quæ conspersa sit oleo, et seorsum olei sextarium.

11Cumque sacerdos purificans hominem, statuerit eum, et hæc omnia coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii,

12tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto, oleique sextarium: et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus,

13immolabit agnum, ubi solet immolari hostia pro peccato, et holocaustum, id est, in loco sancto. Sicut enim pro peccato, ita et pro delicto ad sacerdotem pertinet hostia: Sancta sanctorum est.

14Assumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiæ, quæ immolata est pro delicto, ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus dextræ et pedis:

15et de olei sextario mittet in manum suam sinistram,

16tingetque digitum dextrum in eo, et asperget coram Domino septies.

17Quod autem reliquum est olei in læva manu, fundet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ac pedis dextri, et super sanguinem qui effusus est pro delicto,

18et super caput ejus.

19Rogabitque pro eo coram Domino, et faciet sacrificium pro peccato: tunc immolabit holocaustum,

20et ponet illud in altari cum libamentis suis, et homo rite mundabitur.

21Quod si pauper est, et non potest manus ejus invenire quæ dicta sunt pro delicto, assumet agnum ad oblationem, ut roget pro eo sacerdos, decimamque partem similæ conspersæ oleo in sacrificium, et olei sextarium,

22duosque turtures sive duos pullos columbæ, quorum unus sit pro peccato, et alter in holocaustum:

23offeretque ea die octavo purificationis suæ sacerdoti, ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino.

24Qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei, levabit simul:

25immolatoque agno, de sanguine ejus ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ illius qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ejus ac pedis dextri:

26olei vero partem mittet in manum suam sinistram,

27in quo tingens digitum dextræ manus asperget septies coram Domino:

28tangetque extremum dextræ auriculæ illius qui mundatur, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, in loco sanguinis qui effusus est pro delicto:

29reliquam autem partem olei, quæ est in sinistra manu, mittet super caput purificati, ut placet pro eo Dominum:

30et turturem sive pullum columbæ offeret,

31unum pro delicto, et alterum in holocaustum cum libamentis suis.

32Hoc est sacrificium leprosi, qui habere non potest omnia in emundationem sui.

33Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:

34Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan, quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem, si fuerit plaga lepræ in ædibus,

35ibit cujus est domus, nuntians sacerdoti, et dicet: Quasi plaga lepræ videtur mihi esse in domo mea.

36At ille præcipiet ut efferant universa de domo, priusquam ingrediatur eam, et videat utrum leprosa sit, ne immunda fiant omnia quæ in domo sunt. Intrabitque postea ut consideret lepram domus:

37et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes, et humiliores superficie reliqua,

38egredietur ostium domus, et statim claudet illam septem diebus.

39Reversusque die septimo, considerabit eam: si invenerit crevisse lepram,

40jubebit erui lapides in quibus lepra est, et projici eos extra civitatem in locum immundum:

41domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum, et spargi pulverem rasuræ extra urbem in locum immundum,

42lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint, et luto alio liniri domum.

43Sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides, et pulvis erasus, et alia terra lita,

44ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram, et parietes respersos maculis, lepra est perseverans, et immunda domus:

45quam statim destruent, et lapides ejus ac ligna, atque universum pulverem projicient extra oppidum in locum immundum.

46Qui intraverit domum quando clausa est, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:

47et qui dormierit in ea, et comederit quippiam, lavabit vestimenta sua.

48Quod si introiens sacerdos viderit lepram non crevisse in domo, postquam denuo lita fuerit, purificabit eam reddita sanitate:

49et in purificationem ejus sumet duos passeres, lignumque cedrinum, et vermiculum atque hyssopum:

50et immolato uno passere in vase fictili super aquas vivas,

51tollet lignum cedrinum, et hyssopum, et coccum, et passerem vivum, et tinget omnia in sanguine passeris immolati, atque in aquis viventibus, et asperget domum septies,

52purificabitque eam tam in sanguine passeris quam in aquis viventibus, et in passere vivo, lignoque cedrino et hyssopo atque vermiculo.

53Cumque dimiserit passerem avolare in agrum libere, orabit pro domo, et jure mundabitur.

54Ista est lex omnis lepræ et percussuræ,

55lepræ vestium et domorum,

56cicatricis et erumpentium papularum, lucentis maculæ, et in varias species, coloribus immutatis,

57ut possit sciri quo tempore mundum quid, vel immundum sit.

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2This is the rite for a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest,

3who, departing from the camp, when he has found the leprosy to be cleansed,

4shall instruct him who is to be purified to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and vermillion, and hyssop.

5And he shall order that one of the sparrows be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters.

6But the other living one, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, he shall dip in the blood of the immolated sparrow.

7And he shall sprinkle him who is to be cleansed seven times, so that he may be purified justly. And he shall release the living sparrow, so that it may fly away into the field.

8And when the man will have washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair from his body, and he shall be washed with water. And having been purified, he shall enter into the camp, only to this extent: that he may remain outside his own tent for seven days.

9And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, as well as the hair of his entire body. And having washed his clothes again, and his body,

10on the eighth day, he shall take two immaculate lambs, and a one-year-old female sheep without blemish, and three tenths of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and separately, one twelfth hin of oil.

11And when the priest purifying the man has presented him and all these things in the sight of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,

12he shall take a lamb and offer it for transgression, with the twelfth hin of oil. And having offered all these before the Lord,

13he shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is usually immolated with the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For just as with the one for sin, so also the victim for transgression belongs to the priest. It is the Holy of holies.

14And taking some of the blood of the victim, which was immolated for transgression, the priest shall place it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and likewise the foot.

15And he shall send some of the twelfth hin of oil into his own left hand,

16and he shall dip his right finger in it, and he shall sprinkle it in the sight of the Lord seven times.

17But the oil which remains in his left hand, he shall pour over the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand as well as the foot, and upon the blood which was shed for transgression,

18and upon his head.

19And he shall pray for him in the sight of the Lord, and he shall accomplish the sacrifice on behalf of sin. Then he shall immolate the holocaust,

20and place it upon the altar with its libations, and the man will be duly cleansed.

21But if he is poor, and his hand is not able to find what has been said, he shall take a lamb as an offering for transgression, so that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and a twelfth hin of oil,

22and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other as a holocaust.

23And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord.

24And he, receiving the lamb for transgression, and the twelfth hin of oil, shall lift them up together.

25And when the lamb has been immolated, he shall place some of its blood upon the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, as well as the foot.

26Yet truly, he shall send part of the oil into his own left hand,

27and dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord.

28And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand, as well as the foot, in the place of the blood which was shed for transgression.

29But the remaining part of the oil which is in his left hand, he shall send upon the head of the one being purified, to appease the Lord on his behalf.

30And he shall offer a turtledove or a young pigeon,

31one for transgression, and the other as a holocaust, with their libations.

32This is the sacrifice of a leper, who is not able to obtain all of the things concerning his cleansing.

33And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

34When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, which I will give to you as a possession, if there is the mark of leprosy in a building,

35he whose house it is shall go and report to the priest, saying: “It seems to me that the mark of leprosy is in my house.”

36And he shall instruct them to carry all things out of the house, before he would enter it and see whether it is leprosy, lest all that is in the house become unclean. And after this, he shall enter to examine the leprosy of the house.

37And when he will have seen in its walls something like little hollows, deformed with paleness or redness, and lower than the remaining surface,

38he shall exit by the door of the house, and immediately close it up for seven days.

39And returning on the seventh day, he shall examine it. If he finds that the leprosy has spread,

40he shall order the stones in which the leprosy is, to be dug out and cast outside the city in an unclean place,

41and that the house be scraped on the inside all around, and that the dust of the scrapings be scattered outside the city in an unclean place,

42and that other stones be put back, in place of those which had been taken away, and that the house be plastered with other mortar.

43But if, after the stones have been dug out, and the dust wiped away, and it is plastered with other clay,

44the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has returned, and that the walls are sprinkled with spots, then it is a persistent leprosy and the house is unclean.

45And so they shall promptly destroy it, and shall cast its stones and timber, and also all the dust, outside the town in an unclean place.

46Whoever enters into the house when it is closed up shall be unclean until evening.

47And whoever will have slept in it, or eaten anything, shall wash his clothes.

48But if the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has not spread in the house, after it had been newly plastered, he shall purify it, restoring it to health.

49And for its purification, he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and vermillion, as well as hyssop,

50and, having immolated one sparrow in an earthen vessel over living waters,

51he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and he shall dip all these in the blood of the immolated sparrow, and also in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times.

52And he shall purify it as much with the blood of the sparrow as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the vermillion.

53And when he has released the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be justly cleansed.

54This is the law of every kind of leprosy and plague:

55of the leprosy of garments and houses,

56of scars and erupting pustules, of a shining spot, when the appearance is also variegated,

57so that it can be known at what time a thing is clean or unclean.
