Leviticus 13-15

Leviticus 13

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

²‘When a man hath in the skin of his flesh a rising, or scab, or bright spot, and it hath become in the skin of his flesh a leprous plague, then he hath been brought in unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests;

³and the priest hath seen the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague hath turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his flesh -- it is a plague of leprosy, and the priest hath seen him, and hath pronounced him unclean.

⁴‘And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair hath not turned white, then hath the priest shut up him who hath the plague seven days.

⁵‘And the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, and lo, the plague hath stood in his eyes, the plague hath not spread in the skin, and the priest hath shut him up a second seven days.

⁶‘And the priest hath seen him on the second seventh day, and lo, the plague is become weak, and the plague hath not spread in the skin -- and the priest hath pronounced him clean, it is a scab, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean.

⁷‘And if the scab spread greatly in the skin, after his being seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he hath been seen a second time by the priest;

⁸and the priest hath seen, and lo, the scab hath spread in the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is leprosy.

⁹‘When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he hath been brought in unto the priest,

¹⁰and the priest hath seen, and lo, a white rising in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a quickening of raw flesh is in the rising, --

¹¹an old leprosy it is in the skin of his flesh, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; he doth not shut him up, for he is unclean.

¹²‘And if the leprosy break out greatly in the skin, and the leprosy hath covered all the skin of him who hath the plague, from his head even unto his feet, to all that appeareth to the eyes of the priest,

¹³then hath the priest seen, and lo, the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, and he hath pronounced him who hath the plague clean; it hath all turned white; he is clean.

¹⁴‘And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him he is unclean;

¹⁵and the priest hath seen the raw flesh, and hath pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.

¹⁶Or when the raw flesh turneth back, and hath been turned to white, then he hath come in unto the priest,

¹⁷and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the plague hath been turned to white, and the priest hath pronounced clean him who hath the plague; he is clean.

¹⁸‘And when flesh hath in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it hath been healed,

¹⁹and there hath been in the place of the ulcer a white rising, or a bright white spot, very red, then it hath been seen by the priest,

²⁰and the priest hath seen, and lo, its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair hath turned white, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy -- in an ulcer it hath broken out.

²¹‘And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and is become weak, then hath the priest shut him up seven days;

²²and if it spread greatly in the skin, then hath the priest pronounced him unclean, it is a plague;

²³and if in its place the bright spot stay -- it hath not spread -- it is an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest hath pronounced him clean.

²⁴‘Or when flesh hath in its skin a fiery burning, and the quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, hath been very red or white,

²⁵and the priest hath seen it, and lo, the hair hath turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; leprosy it is, in the burning it hath broken out, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is a plague of leprosy.

²⁶‘And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it is become weak, then the priest hath shut him up seven days;

²⁷and the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, if it spread greatly in the skin, then the priest hath pronounced him unclean; a plague of leprosy it is.

²⁸‘And if the bright spot stay in its place, it hath not spread in the skin, and is become weak; a rising of the burning it is, and the priest hath pronounced him clean; for it is inflammation of the burning.

²⁹‘And when a man (or a woman) hath in him a plague in the head or in the beard,

³⁰then hath the priest seen the plague, and lo, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and in it a thin shining hair, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it is a scall -- it is a leprosy of the head or of the beard.

³¹‘And when the priest seeth the plague of the scall, and lo, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then hath the priest shut up him who hath the plague of the scall seven days.

³²‘And the priest hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread, and a shining hair hath not been in it, and the appearance of the scall is not deeper than the skin,

³³then he hath shaved himself, but the scall he doth not shave; and the priest hath shut up him who hath the scall a second seven days.

³⁴And the priest hath seen the scall on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him clean, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean.

³⁵‘And if the scall spread greatly in the skin after his cleansing,

³⁶and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest seeketh not for the shining hair, he is unclean;

³⁷and if in his eyes the scall hath stayed, and black hair hath sprung up in it, the scall hath been healed -- he is clean -- and the priest hath pronounced him clean.

³⁸‘And when a man or woman hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots,

³⁹and the priest hath seen, and lo, in the skin of their flesh white weak bright spots, it is a freckled spot broken out in the skin; he is clean.

⁴⁰‘And when a man's head is polished, he is bald, he is clean;

⁴¹and if from the corner of his face his head is polished, he is bald of the forehead; he is clean.

⁴²‘And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, a very red white plague, it is a leprosy breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead;

⁴³and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the rising of the very red white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, is as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh,

⁴⁴he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest doth pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

⁴⁵‘As to the leper in whom is the plague, his garments are rent, and his head is uncovered, and he covereth over the upper lip, and ‘Unclean! unclean!' he calleth;

⁴⁶all the days that the plague is in him he is unclean; he is unclean, alone he doth dwell, at the outside of the camp is his dwelling.

⁴⁷‘And when there is in any garment a plague of leprosy, -- in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,

⁴⁸or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of skin,

⁴⁹and the plague hath been very green or very red in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and it hath been shewn the priest.

⁵⁰‘And the priest hath seen the plague, and hath shut up that which hath the plague, seven days;

⁵¹and he hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and the plague hath spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work; the plague is a fretting leprosy, it is unclean.

⁵²‘And he hath burnt the garment, or the warp, or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague is; for it is a fretting leprosy; with fire it is burnt.

⁵³‘And if the priest see, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin,

⁵⁴then hath the priest commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague is, and he hath shut it up a second seven days.

⁵⁵And the priest hath seen that which hath the plague after it hath been washed, and lo, the plague hath not changed its aspect, and the plague hath not spread, -- it is unclean; with fire thou dost burn it; it is a fretting in its back-part or in its front-part.

⁵⁶‘And if the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague is become weak after it hath been washed, then he hath rent it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;

⁵⁷and if it still be seen in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it is a fretting; with fire thou dost burn it -- that in which the plague is.

⁵⁸‘And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel of skin which thou dost wash when the plague hath turned aside from them, then it hath been washed a second time, and hath been clean.

⁵⁹‘This is the law of a plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or of any vessel of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.'

Leviticus 14

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²‘This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing, that he hath been brought in unto the priest,

³and the priest hath gone out unto the outside of the camp, and the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague of leprosy hath ceased from the leper,

⁴and the priest hath commanded, and he hath taken for him who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵‘And the priest hath commanded, and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

⁶as to the living bird, he taketh it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and hath dipped them and the living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water,

⁷and he hath sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and hath pronounced him clean, and hath sent out the living bird on the face of the field.

⁸‘And he who is to be cleansed hath washed his garments, and hath shaved all his hair, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean, and afterwards he doth come in unto the camp, and hath dwelt at the outside of his tent seven days.

⁹‘And it hath been, on the seventh day -- he shaveth all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair he doth shave, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and hath been clean.

¹⁰‘And on the eighth day he taketh two lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three tenth deals of flour for a present, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

¹¹‘And the priest who is cleansing hath caused the man who is to be cleansed to stand with them before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,

¹²and the priest hath taken the one he-lamb, and hath brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and hath waved them -- a wave offering before Jehovah.

¹³‘And he hath slaughtered the lamb in the place where he slaughtereth the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering the guilt-offering is to the priest; it is most holy.

¹⁴‘And the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath 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 great toe of his right foot;

¹⁵and the priest hath taken of the log of oil, and hath poured on the left palm of the priest,

¹⁶and the priest hath dipped his right finger in the oil which is on his left palm, and hath sprinkled of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.

¹⁷‘And of the residue of the oil which is on his palm, the priest putteth 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 blood of the guilt-offering;

¹⁸and the remnant of the oil which is on the palm of the priest, he putteth on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah.

¹⁹‘And the priest hath made the sin-offering, and hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterwards he doth slaughter the burnt-offering;

²⁰and the priest hath caused the burnt-offering to ascend, also the present, on the altar, and the priest hath made atonement for him, and he hath been clean.

²¹‘And if he is poor, and his hand is not reaching these things, then he hath taken one lamb -- a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth deal of flour mixed with oil for a present, and a log of oil,

²²and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand reacheth to, and one hath been a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering;

²³and he hath brought them in on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah.

²⁴‘And the priest hath taken the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest hath waved them -- a wave-offering before Jehovah;

²⁵and he hath slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and hath 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 great toe of his right foot;

²⁶and the priest doth pour of the oil on the left palm of the priest;

²⁷and the priest hath sprinkled with his right finger of the oil which is on his left palm, seven times before Jehovah.

²⁸‘And the priest hath put of the oil which is on his palm, 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 guilt-offering;

²⁹and the remnant of the oil which is on the palm of the priest he doth put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him, before Jehovah.

³⁰‘And he hath made the one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons (from that which his hand reacheth to,

³¹even that which his hand reacheth to), the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt offering, besides the present, and the priest hath made atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Jehovah.

³²This is a law of him in whom is a plague of leprosy, whose hand reacheth not to his cleansing.'

³³And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴‘When ye come in unto the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house in the land of your possession;

³⁵then hath he whose the house is come in and declared to the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the house;

³⁶and the priest hath commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest cometh in to see the plague (that all which is in the house be not unclean), and afterwards doth the priest come in to see the house;

³⁷and he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague is in the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red, and their appearance is lower than the wall,

³⁸and the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days.

³⁹‘And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰and the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague is, and have cast them unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place;

⁴¹and the house he doth cause to be scraped within round about, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;

⁴²and they have taken other stones, and brought them in unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath daubed the house.

⁴³‘And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the daubing;

⁴⁴then hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the house; it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

⁴⁵‘And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought them forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place.

⁴⁶‘And he who is going in unto the house all the days he hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening;

⁴⁷and he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments; and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments.

⁴⁸‘And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean, for the plague hath been healed.

⁴⁹‘And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

⁵⁰and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

⁵¹and he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath sprinkled upon the house seven times.

⁵²‘And he hath cleansed 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;

⁵³and he hath sent away the living bird unto the outside of the city unto the face of the field, and hath made atonement for the house, and it hath been clean.

⁵⁴‘This is the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scall,

⁵⁵and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

⁵⁶and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, --

⁵⁷to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this is the law of the leprosy.'

Leviticus 15

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

²‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, and ye have said unto them, When there is an issue out of the flesh of any man, for his issue he is unclean;

³and this is his uncleanness in his issue -- his flesh hath run with his issue, or his flesh hath stopped from his issue; it is his uncleanness.

⁴‘All the bed on which he lieth who hath the issue is unclean, and all the vessel on which he sitteth is unclean;

⁵and any one who cometh against his bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

⁶‘And he who is sitting on the vessel on which he sitteth who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

⁷‘And he who is coming against the flesh of him who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean till the evening.

⁸‘And when he who hath the issue spitteth on him who is clean, then he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

⁹‘And all the saddle on which he rideth who hath the issue is unclean;

¹⁰and any one who is coming against anything which is under him is unclean till the evening, and he who is bearing them doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹¹‘And anyone against whom he cometh who hath the issue (and his hands hath not rinsed with water) hath even washed his garments, and bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹²‘And the earthen vessel which he who hath the issue cometh against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with water.

¹³‘And when he who hath the issue is clean from his issue, then he hath numbered to himself seven days for his cleansing, and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with running water, and been clean.

¹⁴‘And on the eighth day he taketh to himself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath come in before Jehovah unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath given them unto the priest;

¹⁵and the priest hath made them, one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering; and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah, because of his issue.

¹⁶‘And when a man's seed of copulation goeth out from him, then he hath bathed with water all his flesh, and been unclean till the evening.

¹⁷‘And any garment, or any skin on which there is seed of copulation, hath also been washed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹⁸‘And a woman with whom a man lieth with seed of copulation, they also have bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

¹⁹‘And when a woman hath an issue -- blood is her issue in her flesh -- seven days she is in her separation, and any one who is coming against her is unclean till the evening.

²⁰‘And anything on which she lieth in her separation is unclean, and anything on which she sitteth is unclean;

²¹and any one who is coming against her bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

²²‘And any one who is coming against any vessel on which she sitteth doth wash his garments, and hath washed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

²³‘And if it is on the bed, or on the vessel on which she is sitting, in his coming against it, he is unclean till the evening.

²⁴‘And if a man really lie with her, and her separation is on him, then he hath been unclean seven days, and all the bed on which he lieth is unclean.

²⁵‘And when a woman's issue of blood floweth many days within the time of her separation, or when it floweth over her separation -- all the days of the issue of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she is unclean.

²⁶‘All the bed on which she lieth all the days of her issue is as the bed of her separation to her, and all the vessel on which she sitteth is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation;

²⁷and any one who is coming against them is unclean, and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

²⁸‘And if she hath been clean from her issue, then she hath numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards she is clean;

²⁹and on the eighth day she taketh to herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath brought them in unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting;

³⁰and the priest hath made the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for her before Jehovah, because of the issue of her uncleanness.

³¹‘And ye have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they die not in their uncleanness, in their defiling My tabernacle which is in their midst.

³²‘This is the law of him who hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, for uncleanness thereby,

³³and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who hath an issue, the issue of a male or of a female, and of a man who lieth with an unclean woman.'
