Leviticus 14:8-14 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. The person shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and have a bath; he will then be ritually clean. He may enter the camp, but he must live outside his tent for seven days.

9. On the seventh day he shall again shave his head, his beard, his eyebrows, and all the rest of the hair on his body; he shall wash his clothes and have a bath, and then he will be ritually clean.

10. On the eighth day he shall bring two male lambs and one female lamb a year old that are without any defects, three kilogrammes of flour mixed with olive oil, and a third of a litre of olive oil.

11. The priest shall take the person and these offerings to the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence.

12. Then the priest shall take one of the male lambs and together with the one-third of a litre of oil he shall offer it as a repayment offering. He shall present them as a special gift to the Lord for the priest.

13. He shall kill the lamb in the place where the animals for the sin offerings and the burnt offerings are killed. He must do this because the repayment offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest and is very holy.

14. The priest shall take some of the blood of the lamb and put it on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right-hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who is to be declared ritually clean.
