Leviticus 14:27-46 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

27. and with his right finger the priest shall spatter some of the oil that is on his left palm seven times before Yahweh.

28. Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is on his palm on the right ear’s lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe on the place of the guilt offering’s blood.

29. And the remaining oil that is on the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one who presents himself for cleansing to make atonement for him before Yahweh.

30. And he shall sacrifice one of the turtledoves or the young doves that he can afford,

31. even what he can afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering in addition to the grain offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the one who presents himself for cleansing before Yahweh.

32. This is the regulation of the one on whom is an infectious skin disease who cannot afford the cost for his cleansing.”

33. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

34. “When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am about to give to you as your possession, and I put mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

35. then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘It appears to me that an infection is in the house.’

36. And the priest shall issue a command, and they shall clear out the house before the priest comes to examine the infection, so that all that is in the house might not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go to examine the house.

37. And he shall examine the infection, and if the infection on the house’s wall has yellowish-green or reddish spots and its appearance is deeper than the surface of the wall,

38. then the priest shall go out from the house to the house’s entrance, and he shall confine the house for seven days.

39. And the priest shall return on the seventh day, and he shall examine the infection, and if the infection has spread on the house’s wall,

40. the priest shall issue a command and they shall remove the stones on which is the infection, and they shall throw them outside the city on an unclean place.

41. Then they shall scrape off the plaster from all around the house, and they shall pour out the plaster, which they scraped off, outside the city on an unclean place.

42. And they shall take other stones, and they shall put them in place of those stones, and they shall take other plaster, and they shall replaster the house.

43. “But if the infection should return and it breaks out in the house after they have removed the stones and after scraping off the plaster of the house and after it has been replastered,

44. then the priest shall come, and he shall examine the infection, and if the infection has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house—it is unclean.

45. So he shall break down the house, its stones and its wood and all of the house’s plaster, and he shall bring it all outside the city to an unclean place.

46. And the person who enters into the house during all the days that he confined it shall become unclean until the evening.
