Leviticus 14

New Living Translation NLT

1 And the LORD said to Moses,

2 “The following instructions are for those seeking ceremonial purification from a skin disease. Those who have been healed must be brought to the priest,

3 who will examine them at a place outside the camp. If the priest finds that someone has been healed of a serious skin disease,

4 he will perform a purification ceremony, using two live birds that are ceremonially clean, a stick of cedar, some scarlet yarn, and a hyssop branch.

5 The priest will order that one bird be slaughtered over a clay pot filled with fresh water.

6 He will take the live bird, the cedar stick, the scarlet yarn, and the hyssop branch, and dip them into the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water.

7 The priest will then sprinkle the blood of the dead bird seven times on the person being purified of the skin disease. When the priest has purified the person, he will release the live bird in the open field to fly away.

8 “The persons being purified must then wash their clothes, shave off all their hair, and bathe themselves in water. Then they will be ceremonially clean and may return to the camp. However, they must remain outside their tents for seven days.

9 On the seventh day they must again shave all the hair from their heads, including the hair of the beard and eyebrows. They must also wash their clothes and bathe themselves in water. Then they will be ceremonially clean.

10 “On the eighth day each person being purified must bring two male lambs and a one-year-old female lamb, all with no defects, along with a grain offering of six quarts of choice flour moistened with olive oil, and a cup of olive oil.

11 Then the officiating priest will present that person for purification, along with the offerings, before the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

12 The priest will take one of the male lambs and the olive oil and present them as a guilt offering, lifting them up as a special offering before the LORD .

13 He will then slaughter the male lamb in the sacred area where sin offerings and burnt offerings are slaughtered. As with the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest. It is a most holy offering.

14 The priest will then take some of the blood of the guilt offering and apply it to the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.

15 “Then the priest will pour some of the olive oil into the palm of his own left hand.

16 He will dip his right finger into the oil in his palm and sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the LORD .

17 The priest will then apply some of the oil in his palm over the blood from the guilt offering that is on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.

18 The priest will apply the oil remaining in his hand to the head of the person being purified. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the LORD .

19 “Then the priest must present the sin offering to purify the person who was cured of the skin disease. After that, the priest will slaughter the burnt offering

20 and offer it on the altar along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person who was healed, and the person will be ceremonially clean.

21 “But anyone who is too poor and cannot afford these offerings may bring one male lamb for a guilt offering, to be lifted up as a special offering for purification. The person must also bring two quarts of choice flour moistened with olive oil for the grain offering and a cup of olive oil.

22 The offering must also include two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. One of the pair must be used for the sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

23 On the eighth day of the purification ceremony, the person being purified must bring the offerings to the priest in the LORD ’s presence at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

24 The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering, along with the olive oil, and lift them up as a special offering to the LORD .

25 Then the priest will slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering. He will take some of its blood and apply it to the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.

26 “The priest will also pour some of the olive oil into the palm of his own left hand.

27 He will dip his right finger into the oil in his palm and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD .

28 The priest will then apply some of the oil in his palm over the blood from the guilt offering that is on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.

29 The priest will apply the oil remaining in his hand to the head of the person being purified. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the LORD .

30 “Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford.

31 One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the LORD .

32 These are the instructions for purification for those who have recovered from a serious skin disease but who cannot afford to bring the offerings normally required for the ceremony of purification.”

33 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

34 “When you arrive in Canaan, the land I am giving you as your own possession, I may contaminate some of the houses in your land with mildew.

35 The owner of such a house must then go to the priest and say, ‘It appears that my house has some kind of mildew.’

36 Before the priest goes in to inspect the house, he must have the house emptied so nothing inside will be pronounced ceremonially unclean.

37 Then the priest will go in and examine the mildew on the walls. If he finds greenish or reddish streaks and the contamination appears to go deeper than the wall’s surface,

38 the priest will step outside the door and put the house in quarantine for seven days.

39 On the seventh day the priest must return for another inspection. If he finds that the mildew on the walls of the house has spread,

40 the priest must order that the stones from those areas be removed. The contaminated material will then be taken outside the town to an area designated as ceremonially unclean.

41 Next the inside walls of the entire house must be scraped thoroughly and the scrapings dumped in the unclean place outside the town.

42 Other stones will be brought in to replace the ones that were removed, and the walls will be replastered.

43 “But if the mildew reappears after all the stones have been replaced and the house has been scraped and replastered,

44 the priest must return and inspect the house again. If he finds that the mildew has spread, the walls are clearly contaminated with a serious mildew, and the house is defiled.

45 It must be torn down, and all its stones, timbers, and plaster must be carried out of town to the place designated as ceremonially unclean.

46 Those who enter the house during the period of quarantine will be ceremonially unclean until evening,

47 and all who sleep or eat in the house must wash their clothing.

48 “But if the priest returns for his inspection and finds that the mildew has not reappeared in the house after the fresh plastering, he will pronounce it clean because the mildew is clearly gone.

49 To purify the house the priest must take two birds, a stick of cedar, some scarlet yarn, and a hyssop branch.

50 He will slaughter one of the birds over a clay pot filled with fresh water.

51 He will take the cedar stick, the hyssop branch, the scarlet yarn, and the live bird, and dip them into the blood of the slaughtered bird and into the fresh water. Then he will sprinkle the house seven times.

52 When the priest has purified the house in exactly this way,

53 he will release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. Through this process, the priest will purify the house, and it will be ceremonially clean.

54 “These are the instructions for dealing with serious skin diseases, including scabby sores;

55 and mildew, whether on clothing or in a house;

56 and a swelling on the skin, a rash, or discolored skin.

57 This procedure will determine whether a person or object is ceremonially clean or unclean. “These are the instructions regarding skin diseases and mildew.”

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 This will be the Instruction for anyone with skin disease at the time of purification: When it has been reported to the priest,

3 he will go outside the camp. If the priest sees that the person afflicted with skin disease has been healed of the infection,

4 the priest will order that two birds—wild and clean—and cedarwood, crimson yarn, and hyssop be brought for the person who needs purification.

5 The priest will order that one bird be slaughtered over fresh water in a pottery jar.

6 He will then take the other wild bird, along with the cedarwood, crimson yarn, and hyssop, and will dip all of this into the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water.

7 He will sprinkle the person who needs purification from skin disease seven times and declare that they are clean. Then the priest will release the wild bird into the countryside.

8 The person who needs purification will then wash their clothes, shave off all of their hair, and bathe in water; at that point, they will be clean. After that, they can return to the camp, but they must live outside their tent for seven days.

9 On the seventh day, the person must shave off all their hair again: head, beard, and eyebrows—everything. They must wash their clothes and bathe in water; then they will be clean again.

10 On the eighth day, that person must take two flawless male sheep, one flawless one-year-old ewe, a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of choice flour mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

11 The priest performing the purification will place these and the person needing purification before the LORD at the meeting tent's entrance.

12 The priest will take one of the male sheep and present it as a compensation offering, along with the log of oil, and will lift them as an uplifted offering before the LORD.

13 The priest will slaughter the sheep at the same place where the purification offering and the entirely burned offering are slaughtered: in the holy area. The compensation offering, like the purification offering, belongs to the priest; it is most holy.

14 The priest will take some of the blood from the compensation offering and will put it on the right earlobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of the person needing purification.

15 Then the priest will take some of the log of oil and pour it into his left palm.

16 The priest will then dip his right finger into the oil and sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the LORD.

17 Then the priest will put some of the oil that is left in his hand on the right earlobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of the person needing purification—this oil will be placed on top of the blood of the compensation offering.

18 The priest will put whatever is left of the oil in his hand on the head of the person needing purification. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for the person before the LORD.

19 The priest will then perform the purification offering and make reconciliation for the person needing purification from their uncleanness. After that, the entirely burned offering will be slaughtered.

20 The priest will offer up the entirely burned offering and the grain offering on the altar. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for the person, and they will be clean again.

21 Now if the person is poor and cannot afford these things, they can bring one male sheep as a compensation offering, to be lifted up in order to make reconciliation for them; a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour mixed with oil; a log of oil;

22 and two turtledoves or two pigeons, whatever they can afford—one as a purification offering and the other as an entirely burned offering.

23 On the eighth day, they must bring these items for their purification to the priest at the meeting tent's entrance before the LORD.

24 The priest will take the male sheep for the compensation offering and the log of oil, and will lift them as an uplifted offering before the LORD.

25 The priest will slaughter the sheep for the compensation offering and will take some of its blood and put it on the right earlobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of the person needing purification.

26 The priest will pour some of the oil into his left palm.

27 Next, the priest will sprinkle some of the oil seven times before the LORD using his right finger.

28 The priest will then put some of the oil that is in his hand on the right earlobe, the right thumb, and the right big toe of the person needing purification—on top of the same places as the blood of the compensation offering.

29 The priest will put whatever is left of the oil in his hand on the head of the person needing purification, to make reconciliation for them before the LORD.

30 The person will then offer one of the turtledoves or pigeons, whatever they can afford—

31 one as a purification offering and the other as an entirely burned offering along with the grain offering. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation before the LORD for the person needing purification.

32 This is the Instruction concerning those who have an infection of skin disease but who cannot afford the normal means of purification.

33 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron:

34 When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you as a possession, and I put an infection of skin disease on a house in the land you possess,

35 the homeowner must come and tell the priest, "I think some sort of infection is in my house."

36 The priest will order that the house be emptied before he comes to examine it so that nothing else in the house will become unclean. After that, the priest will come to examine the house.

37 If he examines the infection, and the infection in the walls of the house consists of greenish or reddish depressions, which appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,

38 the priest will exit the house, go to the front door, and quarantine the house for seven days.

39 On the seventh day, the priest will return. If he finds that the infection has spread over the walls of the house,

40 the priest will order the stones in which the infection is found to be pulled out and discarded outside the city in an unclean area.

41 The inside of the house will then be scraped on all sides, and the plaster that has been scraped off must be dumped outside the city in an unclean area.

42 Then different stones will be used in place of the first ones, and new coating will be used to replaster the house.

43 If the infection breaks out again in the house after the stones have been pulled out and the house scraped and replastered,

44 the priest will return. If he finds that the infection has spread throughout the house, it is a case of infectious skin disease in the house; the house is unclean.

45 The house must be destroyed—its stones, wood, and all the plaster in the house. All of it must be taken outside the city to an unclean area.

46 Anyone who enters the house during the entire period when it is quarantined will be unclean until evening.

47 Anyone who lies down in the house must wash their clothes. Anyone who eats in the house must also wash their clothes.

48 But if the priest arrives and finds that the infection has not spread after the house was replastered, the priest will declare the house clean because the infection has been healed.

49 To cleanse the house, the priest will take two birds, cedarwood, crimson yarn, and hyssop.

50 He will slaughter one bird over fresh water in a pottery jar.

51 He will then take the cedarwood, hyssop, and crimson yarn, along with the wild bird, and will dip all of this into the fresh water and into the blood of the bird that was slaughtered. He will then sprinkle the house seven times.

52 In this way, the priest will cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the wild bird, the cedarwood, the hyssop, and the crimson yarn.

53 Then he will release the wild bird outside the city into the countryside. In this way, he will make reconciliation for the house, and it will be clean.

54 This concludes the Instruction concerning every infection of skin disease: for scabies,

55 for skin disease on clothing or in houses,

56 and for swelling, scabs, or shiny spots,

57 in order to determine when it is unclean or clean. This concludes the Instruction concerning skin disease.
