This will be the law of the leper on the day of his being purified and brought to the priest. The priest is to go outside the camp. The priest is to see whether the infection of leprosy in the leper has healed. The priest will command, and he is to take two pure live birds, cedar wood, scarlet-crimson and hyssop for the purification. The priest will command, and he is to slaughter the first bird in a clay vessel over running water. He is to take the live bird, the cedar wood, the scarlet-crimson and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over running water. He is to splash seven times on him who is purified from the leprosy and declare him pure. He is to send the live bird out over the field. The purified one is to wash his clothes, shave all his hair, bathe in water and be purified. And afterwards, he will come to the camp and sit outside his tent for seven days. On the seventh day, he is to shave all the hair of his head, his beard and his eyebrows. Hence, he will shave all his hair, wash his clothes, bathe his flesh in water and be considered pure. And on the eighth day, he is to take two unblemished lambs, one unblemished year-old ewe, three tenths of flour mixed in oil as a meal-offering, and one liter of oil. The priest who is purifying is to stand them and the man to be purified before the Eternal, by the entrance of the tent of meeting. The priest is to take the first lamb and offer it as a guilt-offering - and the liter of oil. He is to wave them as a wave-offering before the Eternal. He is to slaughter the lamb in a place where he would slaughter the sin-offering and the ascension-offering, in a sacred place, because the guilt-offering is like the sin-offering for the priest. It is the holiest of holies. The priest is to take from the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest is to put it on the right ear lobe of the purified one, on the thumb of his right hand and on the thumb of his right foot. The priest is to take from the liter of oil and pour on the priest's left palm. The priest is to dip his right finger into the oil which is on his left palm and splash some of the oil with his finger seven time before the Eternal. And the priest is to put some of the remaining oil, which is on his palm, on the right ear lobe of the purified one, on the right thumb of his hand and on the right thumb of his foot, over the blood of the guilt-offering. And the priest is to put the remainder of the oil, which is on his palm, on the head of the purified one. The priest will atone for him before the Eternal. The priest is to prepare the sin-offering, atone for the purified one from his impurity, and afterwards, slaughter the ascension-offering. The priest is to raise the ascension-offering and the mal-offering on the altar. The priest will atone for him, and he will be rendered pure. But if he is needy and his hand cannot afford, he is to take one lamb, a guilt-offering for waving, as atonement for him, one tenth of flour mixed in oil as a meal-offering, a liter of oil, and two doves or two young pigeons - what he can afford. One will be a sin-offering and one an ascension-offering. He is to brings them on the eighth day of his purification, to the priest, by the entrance of the tent of meeting, before the Eternal. The priest is to take the lamb of the guilt-offering and the liter of oil, and the priest is to wave them as a wave-offering before the Eternal. He is to slaughter the lamb of the guilt-offering. The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt-offering and put it on the right ear lobe of the purified one, on the thumb of his right hand and on the thumb of his right foot. The priest is to pour some of the oil onto the priest's left palm. The priest is to splash, with his right finger, the oil which is on his left palm, seven times before the Eternal. The priest is to put some of the oil, which is on his palm, on the right ear lobe of the purified one, on the thumb of his right hand and on the thumb of his right foot, over the place of the blood of the guilt-offering. And he is to put the remainder of the oil, which is on the priest's palm, on the head of the purified one to atone for him before the Eternal. He is to prepare one from the doves or from the young pigeons, according to what he can afford, according to what he can afford - the one for a sin-offering and the one for an ascension-offering, with the meal-offering. The priest will atone for the purified one before the Eternal. This is the law for whoever has the infection of leprosy, who cannot afford his purification. - Leviticus 14:2-31
