"These are the instructions for making a person clean after a skin disease. He must be taken to the priest.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
3
The priest will go outside the camp and examine him. If the person is healed,
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
4
the priest will order someone to get two living, clean birds, some cedar wood, red yarn, and a hyssop sprig to use for the cleansing.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
5
Then the priest will order someone to kill one bird over a clay bowl containing fresh water.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
6
The priest will take the living bird, the cedar wood, the red yarn, and the hyssop sprig and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
7
He will sprinkle the blood seven times on the one to be cleansed and will declare that person clean. Then he will let the living bird fly away into the open country.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
8
"The one to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash. Then he will be clean. After that he may go into the camp. However, for seven days he will live outside his tent.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
9
On the seventh day he must shave off all the hair on his head, his beard, and his eyebrows, and he must wash his clothes and body. Then he will be clean.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
10
"On the eighth day he must take two male lambs that have no defects and a one-year-old female lamb that has no defects. He must also take eight cups of flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering along with a quart of olive oil.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
11
The priest who will declare him clean must bring the person and his offerings into the LORD's presence at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
12
The priest will take one of the male lambs and the quart of olive oil and present them to the LORD as a guilt offering.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
13
He will slaughter the lamb in the holy place where he slaughters the offering for sin and the burnt offering. He will do this because the guilt offering, like the offering for sin, belongs to the priest. It is very holy.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
14
Then the priest will take some of the blood from the guilt offering and put it on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
15
The priest will also take some of the olive oil and pour it into his own left hand.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
16
He will dip his right finger in the oil in his left hand, and with his finger sprinkle some of the oil seven times in the LORD's presence.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
17
The priest will put some of the oil that is still in his hand on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed. These are the same places he had put the blood of the guilt offering.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
18
The priest will put the rest of the oil in his hand on the head of the one to be cleansed. So he will make peace with the LORD for that person in the LORD's presence.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
19
The priest will also sacrifice the offering for sin to make peace with the LORD for the one who is being cleansed from his impurity. After that, he will slaughter the burnt offering.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
20
The priest will sacrifice the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest will make peace with the LORD for that person, and the person who had the skin disease will be clean.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
21
"But if the one to be cleansed is poor and cannot afford that much, he must take one male lamb, present it to make peace with the LORD for himself, and use it for his guilt offering. He will take only eight cups of flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering, a quart of olive oil,
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
22
and two mourning doves or two pigeons (whatever he can afford). The one will be an offering for sin and the other a burnt offering.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
23
On the eighth day he will take them to the priest for his cleansing at the entrance to the tent of meeting in the LORD's presence.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
24
The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering and the quart of olive oil and present them to the LORD.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
25
He will slaughter the lamb as a guilt offering. Then the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
26
The priest will pour some of the olive oil into his own left hand.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
27
With his right finger he will sprinkle some of the oil seven times in the LORD's presence.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
28
The priest will put some of the oil that is in his hand on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed. These are the same places he had put the blood of the guilt offering.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
29
In the LORD's presence, the priest will pour the rest of the oil in his hand on the head of the one to be cleansed in order to make a payment for him.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
30
Then the one to be cleansed must take one of the mourning doves or pigeons (whichever he can afford),
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
31
and sacrifice it as an offering for sin. He will take the other and sacrifice it as a burnt offering together with the grain offering. So in the LORD's presence the priest will make peace with the LORD for the one who is being cleansed.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
32
These are the instructions for one who has an infectious skin disease but cannot afford what is needed for his cleansing."
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
34
"When you come to Canaan that I am going to give to you, mildew may appear in a house.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
35
The owner of that house must come and tell the priest that there is something that looks like mildew in his house.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
36
"Before the priest examines the house, he will order everything taken out of it so that nothing in the house will become unclean. Then the priest will go inside to examine the house.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
37
He will examine the mildew area on the walls. If it is green and red in sunken areas that are deeper than the rest of the wall,
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
38
the priest will go out to the door of the house and close up the house for seven days.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
39
On the seventh day the priest will go back and examine it again. If the mildew in the walls of the house has spread,
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
40
the priest must order the stones that have the mildew to be torn out and thrown outside the city in an unclean place.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
41
He must have the entire inside of the house scraped. The plaster dust scraped off the walls must be dumped in an unclean place outside the city.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
42
The stones must be replaced, and the house must be plastered again.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
43
If the mildew develops again in the house after all this,
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
44
the priest will examine it one more time. If it is a spreading type of mildew, the house is unclean.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
45
The house-stones, wood, and all the plaster-must be torn down and taken to an unclean place outside the city.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
46
Whoever goes into the house any time it is closed up will be unclean until evening.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
47
Whoever sleeps or eats in the house must wash his clothes.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
48
But if the priest comes and makes an examination and the mildew has not spread in the house after it is plastered again, the priest must declare the house clean. The mildew is gone.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
49
"The priest must take two birds, cedar wood, red yarn, and a hyssop sprig and use them to make the house clean.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
50
He must kill the one bird over a clay bowl containing fresh water.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
51
He must take the cedar wood, the hyssop sprig, the red yarn, and the living bird and dip them in the fresh water containing the blood of the bird that was killed. He must sprinkle the house seven times.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
52
So he must use the bird's blood, the fresh water, the living bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the red yarn to make the house clean.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
53
Then he will let the living bird fly from the city into the open country. He will make peace with the LORD for the house, and it will be clean.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
54
"These are the instructions for any kind of mildew or fungus
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
56
and for skin diseases where there is a sore, a rash, or an irritated area.
(GWT)
Leviticus
14
:
57
These instructions for skin diseases and mildew help you distinguish between what is clean and what is unclean."
