Leviticus 14

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

The Lord passionately communicated to Moses, expressing,

This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:

On the day a leper is healed, they must present themselves to the priest, as per the law.

And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;

The priest will step out of the camp, and if he sees that the leper's disease has indeed healed, he will rejoice.

Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

The priest will instruct the one seeking purification to bring two live, pure birds, cedar wood, scarlet cloth, and hyssop.

And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

The priest will instruct for one bird to be sacrificed in a clay pot above flowing water, with a heavy heart.

As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:

He shall gently grasp the living bird, along with the cedar wood, the vibrant scarlet, and the humble hyssop. Then, with a heavy heart, he will immerse them all, including the living bird, in the lifeblood of the sacrificed bird, all above the flowing river.

And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

He will gently splash the one being healed from leprosy seven times, declare them pure, and then set the living bird free into the vast field.

And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.

The one seeking purification must cleanse his clothes, shave all his hair, and bathe himself in water to achieve cleanliness. After this, he can rejoin the community, but must stay outside his tent for seven days.

But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

On the seventh day, he must shave every hair from his head, beard, and eyebrows. After washing his clothes and bathing, he will be purified.

And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

On the eighth day, he should bring two flawless male lambs, a perfect young female lamb, and a small portion of the finest flour mixed with oil, along with a little more oil, as an offering.

And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

The priest who purifies him will bring the man who needs cleansing, along with his offerings, before God, right at the entrance of the sacred tent.

And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:

The priest shall present a young lamb as an apology to God, along with a measure of oil. He shall raise them high, in a symbolic gesture of surrender and devotion to the Lord.

And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:

In the sacred space where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered, he will also sacrifice the lamb. Just as the sin offering belongs to the priest, so does the trespass offering. It is of utmost sanctity.

And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

The priest, filled with solemn duty, will gently apply the offering's blood to the right ear, thumb, and big toe of the person seeking purification.

And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:

The priest, with reverence, will gently pour a portion of the sacred oil into the cradle of his own left hand.

And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD:

The priest, with a heart full of reverence, will immerse his right finger in the sacred oil held in his left hand. He will then, with a gentle flick of his finger, scatter the oil seven times in the presence of the LORD, each sprinkle echoing a silent prayer.

And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:

The priest will gently apply the remaining oil on the right ear, thumb, and big toe of the person being cleansed, on top of the blood of the forgiveness offering.

And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.

The remaining oil in the priest's hand will be gently poured on the head of the one seeking purification. The priest will then seek forgiveness for him in the presence of the Lord.

And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:

The priest, with a heavy heart, will present the offering for sin, seeking forgiveness for the one tainted by impurity. Once this is done, he will then, with solemnity, sacrifice the burnt offering.

And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

The priest, with deep reverence, will present the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. Through this act, he will seek forgiveness for the individual, and they will be clean.

And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;

If he is poor and can't afford much, he should bring a lamb as an apology offering, to seek forgiveness. He should also bring a small amount of fine flour mixed with oil as a food offering, and a bit of oil.

And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

Bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whatever you can afford. One will serve as an apology for your wrongs, and the other as a gift of dedication to God.

And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.

On the eighth day, filled with hope and anticipation, he will bring them to the priest at the entrance of the sacred meeting tent, presenting them before the Lord for his purification.

And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:

The priest, with deep reverence, shall present the lamb meant for the trespass offering and the jar of oil. He shall then gently sway them as an offering before the Lord, expressing his devotion and humility.

And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

The lamb meant for the trespass offering will be sacrificed. The priest will then take some of its blood and gently apply it to the right ear, right thumb, and right big toe of the person seeking purification.

And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:

The priest, with a heart full of reverence, shall gently pour the sacred oil into the comforting cradle of his own left hand.

And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:

With a heart full of reverence, the priest shall gently flick droplets of oil from his left hand using his right finger, seven times, in the presence of the LORD.

And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:

The priest, filled with solemn duty, will gently anoint the right ear, right thumb, and right big toe of the one seeking purification, using the sacred oil in his hand, on the same spots where the blood of the guilt offering was put.

And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.

The remaining oil in the priest's hand is gently applied to the head of the one seeking purification, symbolizing their reconciliation with God.

And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;

He must present either a turtledove or a young pigeon, whatever he can afford.

Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.

Even if all he can afford is a sin offering and a burnt offering, along with a meat offering, the priest will seek forgiveness on his behalf before God.

This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

This rule applies to the one suffering from leprosy, who is unable to afford the means for his own purification.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

The Lord passionately communicated to Moses and Aaron, expressing,

When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

When you finally arrive in Canaan, the land I've gifted you, and you find a house plagued with leprosy, know that it's my doing.

And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

The homeowner will approach the priest, expressing his fear, "I believe there's a sickness in my house."

Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

The priest will instruct everyone to clear out the house before he enters to inspect the disease. This is to prevent everything inside from becoming contaminated. Once the house is empty, the priest will then proceed to examine it.

And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

He will examine the affliction, and if he sees the disease has seeped into the house walls, leaving behind hollow, green or red marks that appear sunken compared to the rest of the wall.

Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

The priest will then leave the home, closing its doors, and for seven days, the house will remain untouched.

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

On the seventh day, the priest will return. If he sees that the disease has spread across the house walls, his heart will sink.

Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

The priest will instruct to remove the stones infected by the disease, and they will be thrown into a dirty area outside the city.

And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

He will have the inside of the house scraped all around. The dust and plaster scraped off will be discarded outside the city, in a place deemed impure.

And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

They will replace the old stones with new ones, and use fresh mortar to rebuild the house.

And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

If the disease returns and spreads in the house, even after the stones have been removed, the house has been cleaned, and it has been repaired;

Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

When the priest arrives and sees that the disease has spread throughout the house, it's clear that a destructive leprosy has infected the home, making it impure.

And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

He will tear down the house, its stones, wood, and all its plaster. He will then remove them from the city to a dirty place.

Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

Anyone who enters the house while it's closed off will be considered impure until evening.

And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

Whoever rests in the house must cleanse their attire; similarly, the one who dines there must also purify their garments.

And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

If the priest enters and sees that the disease hasn't spread after the house was repaired, he will declare the house healthy because the disease is gone.

And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

He must gather two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop to purify the home with a sense of solemn reverence and hope.

And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

He will compassionately end the life of one bird, within a clay pot, above flowing water.

And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

He will gather the cedar wood, hyssop, scarlet, and a living bird, immerse them in the blood of a sacrificed bird and fresh water, then bless the house with this mixture seven times.

And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

He will purify the home using the bird's blood, flowing water, a living bird, cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, infusing it with a sense of renewal and sanctity.

But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

He must release the living bird into the open countryside, symbolizing freedom and purity. This act will bring peace and cleansing to the house.

This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

This is the rule for all types of leprosy and skin diseases:

And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

When a clothing or a house is touched by the disease of leprosy,

And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

For every swelling, every scab, and every bright spot on the skin:

To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.

Guiding you to discern what's pure and what's tainted: this is the rule of leprosy.
