1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2Hic est ritus leprosi, quando mundandus est. Adducetur ad sacerdotem:
2This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto the priest.
3qui egressus de castris, cum invenerit lepram esse mundatam,
3And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
4præcipiet ei, qui purificatur, ut offerat duos passeres vivos pro se, quibus vesci licitum est, et lignum cedrinum, vermiculumque et hyssopum.
4then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
5Et unum ex passeribus immolari jubebit in vase fictili super aquas viventes:
5And the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
6alium autem vivum cum ligno cedrino, et cocco et hyssopo, tinget in sanguine passeris immolati,
6As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar-wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
7quo asperget illum, qui mundandus est, septies, ut jure purgetur: et dimittet passerem vivum, ut in agrum avolet.
7And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird into the open field.
8Cumque laverit homo vestimenta sua, radet omnes pilos corporis, et lavabitur aqua: purificatusque ingredietur castra, ita dumtaxat ut maneat extra tabernaculum suum septem diebus,
8And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and he shall be clean; and after that he may come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
9et die septimo radet capillos capitis, barbamque et supercilia, ac totius corporis pilos. Et lotis rursum vestibus et corpore,
9And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
10die octavo assumet duos agnos immaculatos, et ovem anniculam absque macula, et tres decimas similæ in sacrificium, quæ conspersa sit oleo, et seorsum olei sextarium.
10And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11Cumque sacerdos purificans hominem, statuerit eum, et hæc omnia coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii,
11And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting.
12tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto, oleique sextarium: et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus,
12And the priest shall take one of the he-lambs, and offer him for a guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave-offering before the LORD.
13immolabit agnum, ubi solet immolari hostia pro peccato, et holocaustum, id est, in loco sancto. Sicut enim pro peccato, ita et pro delicto ad sacerdotem pertinet hostia: Sancta sanctorum est.
13And he shall kill the he-lamb in the place where they kill the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin-offering is the priest's, so is the guilt-offering; it is most holy.
14Assumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiæ, quæ immolata est pro delicto, ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus dextræ et pedis:
14And the priest shall take of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
15et de olei sextario mittet in manum suam sinistram,
15And the priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
16tingetque digitum dextrum in eo, et asperget coram Domino septies.
16And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.
17Quod autem reliquum est olei in læva manu, fundet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ac pedis dextri, et super sanguinem qui effusus est pro delicto,
17And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the guilt-offering.
18et super caput ejus.
18And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
19Rogabitque pro eo coram Domino, et faciet sacrificium pro peccato: tunc immolabit holocaustum,
19And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt-offering.
20et ponet illud in altari cum libamentis suis, et homo rite mundabitur.
20And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the meal-offering upon the altar; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21Quod si pauper est, et non potest manus ejus invenire quæ dicta sunt pro delicto, assumet agnum ad oblationem, ut roget pro eo sacerdos, decimamque partem similæ conspersæ oleo in sacrificium, et olei sextarium,
21And if he be poor, and his means suffice not, then he shall take one he-lamb for a guilt-offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering, and a log of oil;
22duosque turtures sive duos pullos columbæ, quorum unus sit pro peccato, et alter in holocaustum:
22and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, such as his means suffice for; and the one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering.
23offeretque ea die octavo purificationis suæ sacerdoti, ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino.
23And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tent of meeting, before the LORD.
24Qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei, levabit simul:
24And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before the LORD.
25immolatoque agno, de sanguine ejus ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ illius qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ejus ac pedis dextri:
25And he shall kill the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall take of the blood of the guilt-offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
26olei vero partem mittet in manum suam sinistram,
26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand.
27in quo tingens digitum dextræ manus asperget septies coram Domino:
27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD.
28tangetque extremum dextræ auriculæ illius qui mundatur, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, in loco sanguinis qui effusus est pro delicto:
28And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the guilt-offering.
29reliquam autem partem olei, quæ est in sinistra manu, mittet super caput purificati, ut placet pro eo Dominum:
29And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD.
30et turturem sive pullum columbæ offeret,
30And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as his means suffice for;
31unum pro delicto, et alterum in holocaustum cum libamentis suis.
31even such as his means suffice for, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meal-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
32Hoc est sacrificium leprosi, qui habere non potest omnia in emundationem sui.
32This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose means suffice not for that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
33Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
33And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
34Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan, quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem, si fuerit plaga lepræ in ædibus,
34When ye are come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
35ibit cujus est domus, nuntians sacerdoti, et dicet: Quasi plaga lepræ videtur mihi esse in domo mea.
35then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying: 'There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house.'
36At ille præcipiet ut efferant universa de domo, priusquam ingrediatur eam, et videat utrum leprosa sit, ne immunda fiant omnia quæ in domo sunt. Intrabitque postea ut consideret lepram domus:
36And the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go in to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.
37et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes, et humiliores superficie reliqua,
37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the wall;
38egredietur ostium domus, et statim claudet illam septem diebus.
38then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
39Reversusque die septimo, considerabit eam: si invenerit crevisse lepram,
39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40jubebit erui lapides in quibus lepra est, et projici eos extra civitatem in locum immundum:
40then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city.
41domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum, et spargi pulverem rasuræ extra urbem in locum immundum,
41And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place.
42lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint, et luto alio liniri domum.
42And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
43Sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides, et pulvis erasus, et alia terra lita,
43And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that the stones have been taken out, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it is plastered;
44ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram, et parietes respersos maculis, lepra est perseverans, et immunda domus:
44then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
45quam statim destruent, et lapides ejus ac ligna, atque universum pulverem projicient extra oppidum in locum immundum.
45And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
46Qui intraverit domum quando clausa est, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:
46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47et qui dormierit in ea, et comederit quippiam, lavabit vestimenta sua.
47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48Quod si introiens sacerdos viderit lepram non crevisse in domo, postquam denuo lita fuerit, purificabit eam reddita sanitate:
48And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49et in purificationem ejus sumet duos passeres, lignumque cedrinum, et vermiculum atque hyssopum:
49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
50et immolato uno passere in vase fictili super aquas vivas,
50And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
51tollet lignum cedrinum, et hyssopum, et coccum, et passerem vivum, et tinget omnia in sanguine passeris immolati, atque in aquis viventibus, et asperget domum septies,
51And he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52purificabitque eam tam in sanguine passeris quam in aquis viventibus, et in passere vivo, lignoque cedrino et hyssopo atque vermiculo.
52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.
53Cumque dimiserit passerem avolare in agrum libere, orabit pro domo, et jure mundabitur.
53But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open field; so shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.
54Ista est lex omnis lepræ et percussuræ,
54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for a scall;
55lepræ vestium et domorum,
55and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house;
56cicatricis et erumpentium papularum, lucentis maculæ, et in varias species, coloribus immutatis,
56and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
57ut possit sciri quo tempore mundum quid, vel immundum sit.
57to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean; this is the law of leprosy.
