Leviticus 14:19-36 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

19. The priest must sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he will slaughter the burnt offering.

20. The priest is to offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. The priest will make atonement for him, and he will be clean.

21. “But if he is poor and cannot afford these, he is to take one male lamb for a restitution offering to be waved in order to make atonement for him, along with two quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, one-third of a quart of olive oil,

22. and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whatever he can afford, one to be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

23. On the eighth day he is to bring these things for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord.

24. The priest will take the male lamb for the restitution offering and the one-third quart of olive oil, and wave them as a presentation offering before the Lord.

25. After he slaughters the male lamb for the restitution offering, the priest is to take some of the blood of the restitution offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

26. Then the priest will pour some of the oil into his left palm.

27. With his right finger the priest will sprinkle some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the Lord.

28. The priest will also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the same place as the blood of the restitution offering.

29. What is left of the oil in the priest’s palm he is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed to make atonement for him before the Lord.

30. He must then sacrifice one type of what he can afford, either the turtledoves or young pigeons,

31. one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, sacrificing what he can afford together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord for the one to be cleansed.

32. This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing.”

33. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:

34. “When you enter the land of Canaan that I am giving you as a possession, and I place a mildew contamination in a house in the land you possess,

35. the owner of the house is to come and tell the priest: Something like mildew contamination has appeared in my house.

36. The priest must order them to clear the house before he enters to examine the contamination, so that nothing in the house becomes unclean. Afterward the priest will come to examine the house.
