Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Back to Bible
1 He shall bring them on the eighth day for his [ceremonial] cleansing to the priest at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, before the LORD.
2 The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering, and the log of oil, and shall present them as a wave offering before the LORD.
3 Next he shall kill the lamb of the guilt offering; and the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
4 The priest shall pour some of the oil into his left palm,
5 and with his right finger the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the LORD.
6 The priest shall put some of the oil in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the places where he has put the blood of the guilt offering.
7 The rest of the oil that is in the priest's palm shall be put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
8 Then he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, which are within his means.
9 He shall offer what he can afford, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. The priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the one to be cleansed.
10 This is the law for the one in whom there is an infection of leprosy,[3] whose means are limited for his [ceremonial] cleansing."
11 The LORD further spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
12 "When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as a possession, and I put[4] a mark of leprosy on a house in your land,
13 then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, 'I have seen something that looks like a mark of leprosy in my house.'
14 The priest shall order that they empty the house before he goes in to examine the mark, so that everything in the house will not have to be declared unclean; afterward he shall go in to see the house.
15 He shall examine the mark, and if the mark on the walls of the house has greenish or reddish depressions and appears deeper than the surface,
16 the priest shall go out of the house, to the doorway, and[5] quarantine the house for seven days.
