Leviticus 14:12-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. he shall take a lamb and offer it for transgression, with the twelfth hin of oil. And having offered all these before the Lord,

13. he shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is usually immolated with the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For just as with the one for sin, so also the victim for transgression belongs to the priest. It is the Holy of holies.

14. And taking some of the blood of the victim, which was immolated for transgression, the priest shall place it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and likewise the foot.

15. And he shall send some of the twelfth hin of oil into his own left hand,

16. and he shall dip his right finger in it, and he shall sprinkle it in the sight of the Lord seven times.

17. But the oil which remains in his left hand, he shall pour over the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand as well as the foot, and upon the blood which was shed for transgression,

18. and upon his head.

19. And he shall pray for him in the sight of the Lord, and he shall accomplish the sacrifice on behalf of sin. Then he shall immolate the holocaust,

20. and place it upon the altar with its libations, and the man will be duly cleansed.

21. But if he is poor, and his hand is not able to find what has been said, he shall take a lamb as an offering for transgression, so that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and a twelfth hin of oil,

22. and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other as a holocaust.

23. And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord.

24. And he, receiving the lamb for transgression, and the twelfth hin of oil, shall lift them up together.
