21
If you are poor and cannot afford any more, you shall bring for your purification only one male lamb as your repayment offering, a special gift to the Lord for the priest. You shall bring only two pounds of flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering and half a pint of olive oil.
22
You shall also bring two doves or two pigeons, one for the sin offering and one for the burnt offering.
23
On the eighth day of your purification you shall bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent.
24
The priest shall take the lamb and the olive oil and present them as a special gift to the Lord for the priest.
25
He shall kill the lamb and take some of the blood and put it on the lobe of your right ear, on the thumb of your right hand, and on the big toe of your right foot.
26
The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand
27
and with a finger of his right hand sprinkle some of it seven times there in the Lord's presence.
28
He shall put some of the oil on the same places he put the blood: on the lobe of your right ear, on the thumb of your right hand, and on the big toe of your right foot.
29
The rest of the oil that is in his palm he shall put on your head and in this way perform the ritual of purification.
30
Then he shall offer one of the doves or pigeons
31
as the sin offering and the other as the burnt offering with the grain offering. In this way the priest shall perform the ritual of purification.
32
This is the law for those who have a dreaded skin disease but who cannot afford the normal offerings required for his purification.
33
The Lord gave Moses and Aaron
34
the following regulations about houses affected by spreading mildew. (These were to apply after the people of Israel entered the land of Canaan, which the Lord was going to give them as their possession.) If any of you find that the Lord has sent mildew on your house, then you must go and tell the priest about it.
36
The priest shall order everything to be moved out of the house before he goes to examine the mildew; otherwise everything in the house will be declared unclean. Then he shall go to the house
37
and examine the mildew. If there are greenish or reddish spots that appear to be eating into the wall,
38
he shall leave the house and lock it up for seven days.
39
On the seventh day he shall return and examine it again. If the mildew has spread,
40
he shall order that the stones on which the mildew is found be removed and thrown into some unclean place outside the city.
41
After that he must have all the interior walls scraped and the plaster dumped in an unclean place outside the city.
42
Then other stones are to be used to replace the stones that were removed, and new plaster will be used to cover the walls.
