Leviticus 14:27-37

27 and shall sprinkle with his finger of the oyle that is in his lefte hande .vij. tymes before the Lord.

28 And the preast shall put of the oyle that is in his hande (apon the typpe of the righte eare of hi that is clensed, and apo the thombe of his righte hande and apon the great too of his righte fote: euen in the place where the bloude of the trespaceofferynge was put,

29 And the reste of the oyle that is in his hande, he shall poure apon the heede of him that is clensed: to make an attonemet for him before the Lorde.

30 And he shall offer one of the turtyll doues or of the yonge pigeons, soch as he can gett:

31 the one for a synneofferynge and the other for a burntoffrynge apo the alter. And so shall the preast make an attonemet for him that is clensed before the Lorde.

32 This is the lawe of him that hath the plage of leprosye, whose hand is not able to gett that which pertayneth to hys clensynge.

33 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses ad Aaro saynge:

34 when ye be come vnto the lond of Canaan which I geue you to possesse: yf I put the plage of leprosye in any housse of the lande of youre possession,

35 let him that oweth the house go ad tell the preast saynge, me thinke that there is as it were a leprosy in the housse.

36 And the preast shall comaunde them to ryd all thinge out of the housse, before the preaste goo in to se the plage: that he make not all that is in the housse vncleane, and then the preast shall goo in and se the housse.

37 Yf the preast se that the plage is in the walles of the housse ad that there be holowe strakes pale or rede which seme to be lower than the other partes of the wall,
