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.”

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses,

2 "These are the instructions for the infected person at the time of his cleansing. First, bring him to the priest.

3 The priest will take him outside the camp and make an examination; if the infected person has been healed of the serious skin disease,

4 the priest will order two live, clean birds, some cedar wood, scarlet thread, and hyssop to be brought for the one to be cleansed.

5 The priest will order him to kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.

6 The priest will then take the live bird with the cedar wood, the scarlet thread, and the hyssop and dip them in the blood of the dead bird over fresh water

7 and then sprinkle the person being cleansed from the serious skin disease seven times and pronounce him clean. Finally, he will release the live bird in the open field.

8 The cleansed person, after washing his clothes, shaving off all his hair, and bathing with water, is clean. Afterwards he may again enter the camp, but he has to live outside his tent for seven days.

9 On the seventh day, he must shave off all his hair - from his head, beard, eyebrows, all of it. He then must wash his clothes and bathe all over with water. He will be clean.

10 "The next day, the eighth day, he will bring two lambs without defect and a yearling ewe without defect, along with roughly six quarts of fine flour mixed with oil.

11 The priest who pronounces him clean will place him and the materials for his offerings in the presence of God at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

12 The priest will take one of the lambs and present it and the pint of oil as a Compensation-Offering and lift them up as a Wave-Offering before God.

13 He will slaughter the lamb in the place where the Absolution-Offering and the Whole-Burnt-Offering are slaughtered, in the Holy Place, because like the Absolution-Offering, the Compensation-Offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy.

14 The priest will now take some of the blood of the Compensation-Offering and put it on the right earlobe of the man being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

15 Following that he will take some oil and pour it into the palm of his left hand

16 and then with the finger of his right hand sprinkle oil seven times before God.

17 The priest will put some of the remaining oil on the right earlobe of the one being cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, placing it on top of the blood of the Compensation-Offering.

18 He will put the rest of the oil on the head of the man being cleansed and make atonement for him before God.

19 "Finally the priest will sacrifice the Absolution-Offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness, slaughter the Whole-Burnt-Offering

20 and offer it with the Grain-Offering on the Altar. He has made atonement for him. He is clean.

21 "If he is poor and cannot afford these offerings, he will bring one male lamb as a Compensation-Offering to be offered as a Wave-Offering to make atonement for him, and with it a couple of quarts of fine flour mixed with oil for a Grain-Offering, a pint of oil,

22 and two doves or pigeons which he can afford, one for an Absolution-Offering and the other for a Whole-Burnt-Offering.

23 "On the eighth day he will bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the presence of God.

24 The priest will take the lamb for the Compensation-Offering together with the pint of oil and wave them before God as a Wave-Offering.

25 He will slaughter the lamb for the Compensation-Offering, take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

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

27 and with his right finger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before God.

28 He will put some of the oil that is in his palm on the same places he put the blood of the Compensation-Offering, on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

29 The priest will take what is left of the oil in his palm and put it on the head of the one to be cleansed, making atonement for him before God.

30 "At the last, he will sacrifice the doves or pigeons which are within his means,

31 one as an Absolution-Offering and the other as a Whole-Burnt-Offering along with the Grain-Offering. Following this procedure the priest will make atonement for the one to be cleansed before God."

32 These are the instructions to be followed for anyone who has a serious skin disease and cannot afford the regular offerings for his cleansing.

33 God spoke to Moses and Aaron,

34 "When you enter the land of Canaan, which I'm giving to you as a possession, and I put a serious fungus in a house in the land of your possession,

35 the householder is to go and tell the priest, 'I have some kind of fungus in my house.'

36 The priest is to order the house vacated until he can come to examine the fungus, so that nothing in the house is declared unclean.

37 When the priest comes and examines the house, if the fungus on the walls of the house has greenish or rusty swelling that appears to go deeper than the surface of the wall,

38 the priest is to walk out the door and shut the house up for seven days.

39 On the seventh day he is to come back and conduct another examination; if the fungus has spread in the walls of the house,

40 he is to order that the stones affected by the fungus be torn out and thrown in a garbage dump outside the city.

41 He is to make sure the entire inside of the house is scraped and the plaster that is removed be taken away to the garbage dump outside the city.

42 Then he is to replace the stones and replaster the house.

43 "If the fungus breaks out again in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house has been scraped and plastered,

44 the priest is to come and conduct an examination; if the fungus has spread, it is a malignant fungus. The house is unclean.

45 The house has to be demolished - its stones, wood, and plaster are to be removed to the garbage dump outside the city.

46 Anyone who enters the house while it is closed up is unclean until evening.

47 Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash his clothes.

48 "But if when the priest comes and conducts his examination, he finds that the fungus has not spread after the house has been replastered, the priest is to declare that the house is clean; the fungus is cured.

49 He then is to purify the house by taking two birds, some cedar wood, scarlet thread, and hyssop.

50 He will slaughter one bird over fresh water in a clay pot.

51 Then he will take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet thread, and the living bird, dip them in the blood of the killed bird and the fresh water and sprinkle the house seven times,

52 cleansing the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the living bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet thread.

53 Last of all, he will let the living bird loose outside the city in the open field. He has made atonement for the house; the house is clean.

54 "These are the procedures to be followed for every kind of serious skin disease or itch,

55 for mildew or fungus on clothing or in a house,

56 and for a swelling or blister or shiny spot

57 in order to determine when it is unclean and when it is clean. These are the procedures regarding infectious skin diseases and mildew and fungus."
