CHAPTER
14 1
YHWH said to Mosheh, 2
These are the regulations for the person with leprosy at the time
of his cleansing, when he is brought to the priest: 3
The priest is to go outside the camp and examine him. If the
person has been healed of his leprosy, a communicable skin disease, 4
the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar
wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop be brought for the one to be cleansed. 5
Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over
fresh water in a clay pot. 6
He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the
cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop into the blood of the bird
that was killed over the fresh water. 7
Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the
infectious disease and pronounce him clean. Then he is to release the
live bird in the open fields. 8
The person to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all
his hair and bathe with water; then he will be ceremonially clean. After
this he may come into the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for
seven days. 9
On the seventh day he must shave off all his hair; he must shave
his head, his beard, his eyebrows and the rest of his hair. He must wash
his clothes and bathe himself with water and he will be clean. 10
On the eighth day he must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb a
year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah of
fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering and one log of oil. 11
The priest who pronounces him clean shall present both the one to
be cleansed and his offerings before YHWH at the entrance to the Tent of
Meeting (Ohel Mow-ed). 12
Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as
a guilt offering, along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before
YHWH as a wave offering.
14
The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering 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. 15
The priest shall then take some of the log of oil, pour it in the
palm of his own left hand, 16
dip his right forefinger into the oil in his palm and with his
finger sprinkle some of it before YHWH seven times. 17
The priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm 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 and on top of the blood
of the guilt offering. 18
The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head
of the one to be cleansed and make atonement for him before YHWH. 19
Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make
atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. After that,
the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering 20
and offer it on the altar (mizbeach=miz-bay-ach’), together
with the grain offering and make atonement for him and he will be clean.
21
If, however, he is poor and cannot afford these, he must take one
male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for him,
together with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a
grain offering, a log of oil, 22
two doves or two young pigeons which he can afford, one for a sin
offering and the other for a burnt offering. 23
On the eighth day he must bring them for his cleansing to the
priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting (ohel mow-ed), before
YHWH. 24
The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering, together
with the log of oil, and wave them before YHWH as a wave offering. 25
He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and 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 is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own
left hand, 27
and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his
palm seven times before YHWH. 28
Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he
put the blood of the guilt 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 rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head
of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before YHWH. 30
Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons which the
person can afford. 31
Offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering
together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make
atonement before YHWH on behalf of the one to be cleansed. 32
These are the regulations for anyone who has an infectious skin
disease and who cannot afford the regular offerings for his cleansing. 33
YHWH said to Mosheh and Aharon, 34
When you enter the 35
the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, I have seen
something that looks like mildew in my house. 36
The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in
to examine the mildew, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced
unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house. 37
He is to examine the mildew on the walls and if it has greenish
or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the
wall, 38
the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up
for seven days. 39
On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house.
If the mildew has spread on the walls, 40
he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and
thrown into an unclean place outside the town. 41
He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the
material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the
town. 42
Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new
clay and plaster the house. 43
If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been
torn out and the house scraped and plastered, 44
the priest is to go and examine it and if the mildew has spread
in the house, it is a destructive mildew and the house is unclean. 45
It must all be torn down, all its stones, timbers and all the
plaster are to be taken out of the town to an unclean place. 46
Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be
unclean till evening. 47
Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash his clothes. 48
But if the priest comes to examine it and the mildew has not
spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house
clean, because the mildew is gone. 49
To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood,
scarlet yarn and hyssop. 50
He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. 51
Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn
and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the
fresh water and sprinkle the house seven times. 52
He shall purify the house with the bird's blood, the fresh water,
the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. 53
Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside
the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will
be clean." 54
These are the regulations for any infectious skin disease, for an
itch, 55
for mildew in clothing or in a house, 56
and for a swelling, a rash or a bright spot, 57
and how to determine when something is clean or unclean. These
are the regulations for infectious skin diseases and mildew. CHAPTER
15 1
YHWH said to Mosheh and Aharon, 2
Speak to B’nei Yisrael and say to them: When any man has a
bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean. 3
Whether it continues flowing from his body or is blocked, it will
make him unclean. This is how his discharge will bring about
uncleanness: 4
Any bed the man with a discharge lies on will be unclean and
anything he sits on will be unclean. 5
Anyone who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe with
water and he will be unclean till evening. 6
Whoever sits on anything that the man with a discharge sat on
must wash his clothes and bathe with water and he will be unclean until
the evening. 7
Whoever touches the man who has a discharge must wash his clothes
and bathe with water and he will be unclean till evening. 8
If the man with the discharge spits on someone who is clean, that
person must wash his clothes and bathe with water and he will be unclean
till evening. 9
Everything the man sits on when riding will be unclean, 10
and whoever touches any of the things that were under him will be
unclean until the evening. Whoever picks up those things must wash his
clothes and bathe with water and he will be unclean until the evening. 11
Anyone the man with a discharge touches without rinsing his hands
with water must wash his clothes and bathe with water and he will be
unclean until the evening. 12
A clay pot that the man touches must be broken and any wooden
article is to be rinsed with water. 13
When a man is cleansed from his discharge, he is to count off
seven days for his ceremonial cleansing and then he must wash his
clothes and bathe himself with fresh water and he will be clean. 14
On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons and
come before YHWH to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting (Ohel Mow-ed)
and give them to the priest. 15
The priest is to sacrifice them, the one for a sin offering and
the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement
before YHWH for the man because of his discharge. 16
When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body
with water and he will be unclean until the evening. 17
Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with
water and it will be unclean till evening. 18
When a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen,
both must bathe with water and they will be unclean till evening. 19
When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her
monthly period will last seven days and anyone who touches her will be
unclean until the evening. 20
Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean and
anything she sits on will be unclean. 21
Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with
water and he will be unclean until the evening. 22
Whoever touches anything she sits on must wash his clothes and
bathe with water and he will be unclean until the evening. 23
Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on when anyone
touches it, he will be unclean until the evening. 24
If a man lies with her and her monthly flow touches him, he will
be unclean for seven days and any bed he lies on will be unclean. 25
When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time
other than her monthly period or has a discharge that continues beyond
her period, she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge, just
as in the days of her period. 26
Any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be
unclean, as is her bed during her monthly period and anything she sits
on will be unclean, as during her period. 27
Whoever touches them will be unclean and he must wash his clothes
and bathe with water and he will be unclean till evening. 28
When she is cleansed from her discharge, she must count off seven
days and after that she will be ceremonially clean. 29
On the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons
and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting
(Ohel Mow-ed). 30
The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other
for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before
YHWH for the uncleanness of her discharge. 31
You must keep B’nei Yisrael separate from things that make them
unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling My
dwelling place, which is among them. 32
These are the regulations for a man with a discharge, for anyone
made unclean by an emission of semen, 33
and for a woman in her monthly period, for a man or a woman with
a discharge and for a man who lies with a woman who is ceremonially
unclean.
