Leviticus 14:18-29 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

25. And when the lamb has been immolated, he shall place some of its blood upon 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.

26. Yet truly, he shall send part of the oil into his own left hand,

27. and dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord.

28. And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand, as well as the foot, in the place of the blood which was shed for transgression.

29. But the remaining part of the oil which is in his left hand, he shall send upon the head of the one being purified, to appease the Lord on his behalf.
