1 Jeová disse a Moisés:

2 Esta será a lei do leproso no dia da sua purificação: será levado ao sacerdote.

3 O sacerdote sairá para fora do arraial, e o examinará. Se a praga da lepra for curada no leproso;

4 o sacerdote ordenará se tomem para aquele que se há de purificar duas aves vivas e limpas, e pau de cedro, e escarlata, e hissopo;

5 e que se mate uma das aves num vaso de barro sobre águas vivas.

6 Quanto à ave viva, tomá-la-á, e o pau de cedro, e a escarlata, e o hissopo, e os molhará juntamente com a ave viva no sangue da ave que for morta sobre as águas vivas.

7 Aspergirá sete vezes sobre aquele que se há de purificar da lepra, e declará-lo-á limpo, e soltará a ave viva sobre a face do campo.

8 Aquele que se há de purificar lavará os seus vestidos, rapará todo o seu pêlo, banhar-se-á e será limpo; depois entrará no arraial, mas ficará sete dias fora da sua tenda.

9 Ao sétimo dia rapará todos os cabelos da cabeça, a barba e as sobrancelhas, sim rapará todo o pêlo, lavará os seus vestidos, banhará o corpo em água e será limpo.

10 Ao oitavo dia tomará dois cordeiros sem defeito, e uma cordeira de um ano sem defeito, e três dízimas de uma efa de flor de farinha, amassada com azeite, como oferta de cereais, e um log de azeite.

11 E o sacerdote que faz a purificação, apresentará, diante de Jeová, à entrada da tenda da revelação o homem que se há de purificar com essas coisas.

12 Tomará um dos cordeiros, e o oferecerá como oferta pela culpa, e o log de azeite, e os oferecerá como oferta movida diante de Jeová.

13 Matará o cordeiro no lugar em que é morta a oferta pelo pecado e o holocausto, a saber, no lugar do santuário; pois, como a oferta pelo pecado pertence ao sacerdote, assim também a oferta pela culpa: coisa santíssima é.

14 O sacerdote tomará do sangue da oferta pela culpa, e pô-lo-á sobre a ponta da orelha direita daquele que se há de purificar, e sobre o dedo polegar da sua mão direita, e sobre o dedo polegar de seu pé direito.

15 Tomará do log de azeite, e o deitará na palma da mão esquerda;

16 molhará o dedo direito no azeite que está na mão esquerda, e com o dedo aspergirá do azeite sete vezes diante de Jeová.

17 Do restante do azeite que está na mão porá sobre a ponta da orelha direita daquele que se há de purificar, e sobre o dedo polegar da sua mão direita, e sobre o dedo polegar do seu pé direito, por cima do sangue da oferta pela culpa.

18 O restante do azeite que está na mão do sacerdote, pô-lo-á sobre a cabeça daquele que se há de purificar, e fará expiação por ele diante de Jeová.

19 Então o sacerdote oferecerá a oferta pelo pecado, e fará expiação por aquele que se há de purificar por causa da sua imundícia. Depois imolará o holocausto,

20 e oferecerá o holocausto e a oferta de cereais sobre o altar; fará expiação por ele, e ele será limpo.

21 Se for pobre, e as suas posses não lhe permitirem trazer tanto, tomará um cordeiro para uma oferta pela culpa como oferta movida, a fim de fazer expiação por ele, e uma dízima de uma efa de flor de farinha amassada com azeite como uma oferta de cereais, e um log de azeite;

22 e duas rolas ou dois pombinhos, conforme as suas posses permitirem, um dos quais será uma oferta pelo pecado, e o outro para o holocausto.

23 Ao oitavo dia os trará pela sua purificação ao sacerdote, à entrada da tenda da revelação, diante de Jeová.

24 O sacerdote tomará o cordeiro da oferta pela culpa, e o log de azeite, e os oferecerá por oferta movida diante de Jeová.

25 Matará o cordeiro da oferta pela culpa, e tomará do sangue da oferta pela culpa, e pô-lo-á sobre a ponta da orelha direita daquele que se há de purificar, e sobre o dedo polegar da sua mão direita, e sobre o dedo polegar do seu pé direito.

26 Deitará do azeite na palma da mão esquerda;

27 e com o dedo direito aspergirá diante de Jeová sete vezes do azeite que está na mão esquerda.

28 Do azeite que está na mão porá sobre a ponta da orelha direita daquele que se há de purificar, e sobre o dedo polegar da sua mão direita, e sobre o dedo polegar de seu pé direito, por cima do sangue da oferta pela culpa.

29 O restante do azeite que está na mão porá sobre a cabeça daquele que se há de purificar, para fazer expiação por ele diante de Jeová.

30 Oferecerá uma das rolas, ou um dos pombinhos, conforme as suas posses lhe permitirem,

31 sim conforme as suas posses: um para oferta pelo pecado, e o outro para holocausto, juntamente com a oferta de cereais; e o sacerdote fará expiação diante de Jeová por aquele que se há de purificar.

32 Esta é a lei daquele em quem está a praga da lepra, e cujas posses não lhe permitirem trazer o que pertence à sua purificação.

33 Disse mais Jeová a Moisés e a Arão:

34 Quando entrardes na terra de Canaã, que eu vos hei de dar a vós em possessão, e eu puser a praga da lepra numa casa da terra da vossa possessão;

35 o dono da casa irá e informará ao sacerdote, dizendo: Parece-me que há como praga em minha casa.

36 O sacerdote ordenará que despejem a casa, antes que entre para examinar a praga, para que não fique imundo tudo o que está na casa. Depois entrará para examinar a casa;

37 examiná-la-á, e, se a praga estiver nas paredes da casa em cavidades verdes ou vermelhas e parecer mais funda que a parede,

38 o sacerdote sairá da casa até a porta dela, e a fechará por sete dias.

39 Voltará ao sétimo dia, e a examinará. Se a praga se tiver espalhado nas paredes da casa,

40 ele ordenará que se arranquem as pedras em que está a praga, e que as lancem fora da cidade num lugar imundo.

41 Fará raspar a casa por dentro ao redor, e a argamassa que houverem raspado deitarão fora da cidade num lugar imundo;

42 tomarão outras pedras, e as porão no lugar dessas pedras; tomará outra argamassa, e rebocará a casa.

43 Se a praga voltar a brotar na casa, depois de arrancadas as pedras, raspada a casa e de novo rebocada;

44 o sacerdote entrará e a examinará. Se a praga se tiver espalhado na casa, é lepra roedora na casa: é imunda.

45 Derrubar-se-á a casa, as suas pedras e a sua madeira, e toda a argamassa da casa; e se levará para fora da cidade a um lugar imundo.

46 Também aquele que entrar na casa, enquanto estiver fechada, será imundo até a tarde.

47 Aquele que se deitar na casa lavará os seus vestidos; e quem comer na casa lavará os seus vestidos.

48 Porém, se o sacerdote entrar e a examinar, e a praga não se tiver espalhado na casa, depois que tiver sido rebocada; declará-la-á limpa, porque a praga está curada.

49 Para purificar a casa, tomará duas aves, e pau de cedro, e escarlata e hissopo.

50 Matará uma das aves num vaso de barro sobre águas vivas;

51 tomará o pau de cedro, e o hissopo, e a escarlata e a ave viva, e os molhará no sangue da ave morta, e nas águas vivas, e aspergirá a casa sete vezes.

52 Purificará a casa com o sangue da ave, com as águas vivas, com a ave viva, com o pau de cedro, com o hissopo e com a escarlata;

53 mas soltará a ave viva para fora da cidade sobre a face do campo. Assim fará expiação pela casa; e será limpa.

54 Esta é a lei de toda a sorte de praga de lepra e de tinha;

55 da lepra dos vestidos e das casas;

56 das inchações, das pústulas e das manchas lustrosas;

57 para ensinar quando for imundo, e quando for limpo: esta é a lei da lepra.

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

2 This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest;

3 And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him,

4 Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop.

5 And the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made of earth, over flowing water.

6 And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water.

7 And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country.

8 And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days.

9 And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean.

10 And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

11 And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting.

12 And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

13 And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

14 And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

15 And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;

16 And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord;

17 And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing;

18 And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the Lord.

19 And the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death.

20 And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean.

21 And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

22 And two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and one will be for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering.

23 And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean.

24 And the priest will take the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

25 And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

26 And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,

27 Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:

28 And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put;

29 And the rest of the oil which is in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean, to take away his sin before the Lord.

30 And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get;

31 And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord.

32 This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean.

33 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

34 When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,

35 Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

36 And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

37 And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

38 Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

39 And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

40 Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:

41 And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

42 And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

43 And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

44 Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.

45 And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.

46 And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

47 And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.

48 And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.

49 And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;

50 And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water;

51 And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

52 And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread.

53 But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean.

54 This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;

55 And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;

56 And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin;

57 To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.
