Leviticus 23:0; 10:1–14:57

M S Sam

V

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before YHWH, which He had not commanded them.

Lv10:1  And the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abiud, took each his censer, and put fire therein, and threw incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which the Lord did not command them,

And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, picking up their censers, placed fire in them and incense upon them, offering in the sight of the Lord a strange fire, such as was not instructed of them.

And there came forth fire from before YHWH, and devoured them, and they died before the YHWH.

Lv10:2  and fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them, and they died in the sight of the Lord.

Then Moses said unto Aaron: 'This is it that YHWH spoke, saying: Through them that are nigh unto Me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.' And Aaron held his peace.

Lv10:3  And Moses said to Aaron, This is the thing which the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified among them that draw night to me, and I will be glorified in the whole congregation; and Aaron was pricked in his heart.

And Moses said to Aaron: “This is what the Lord has spoken: ‘I will be sanctified in those who approach me, and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people.’ ” And upon hearing this, Aaron was silent.

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them: 'Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.'

Lv10:4  And Moses called Misadae, and Elisaphan, sons of Oziel, sons of the brother of Aaron’s father, and said to them, Draw near and take your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

Then Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the paternal uncle of Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and take your brothers from the sight of the Sanctuary, and carry them beyond the camp.”

So they drew near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

Lv10:5  And they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses said.

And moving quickly, they took them as they lay, vested with linen tunics, and cast them outside, just as had been commanded them.

M Sam G V

And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons: 'Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither tend your clothes, that ye die not, and that He be not wroth with all the congregation; but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which YHWH hath kindled.

And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of YHWH is upon you.' And they did according to the word of Moses.

But you shall not depart from the door of the tabernacle; otherwise, you shall perish. For certainly the oil of holy anointing is upon you.” And they did all things according to the precept of Moses.

And you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

And YHWH spoke unto Aaron, saying

Lv10:8  And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,

The Lord also said to Aaron

M Sam V S Sam
G

'Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

Lv10:9  Ye shall not drink wine nor strong drink, thou and thy sons with thee, whensoever ye enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when ye approach the altar, so shall ye not die; it is a perpetual statute for your generations,

M Sam V

10  And that ye may put difference between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

Lv10:10  to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,

10  That you may make a distinction between holy and unholy, and between clean and unclean;

M S Sam
G
V

11  and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which YHWH hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.'

Lv10:11  and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.

11  And so may you teach the sons of Israel all my ordinances, which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.”

M V S Sam

12  And Moses spoke unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left: 'Take the meal-offering that remaineth of the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy.

Lv10:12  And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who survived, Take the sacrifice that is left of the burnt-offerings of the Lord, and ye shall eat unleavened bread by the altar: it is most holy.

M S Sam
G
V

13  And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the offerings of YHWH made by fire; for so I am commanded.

Lv10:13  And ye shall eat it in the holy place; for this is a statute for thee and a statute for thy sons, of the burnt-offerings to the Lord; for so it has been commanded me.

13  For you shall eat it in a holy place, which is given to you and to your sons, from the oblations of the Lord, just as has been instructed me.

M Sam
G
V

14  And the breast of waving and the thigh of heaving shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for they are given as thy due, and thy sons' due, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

Lv10:14  And ye shall eat the breast of separation, and the shoulder of the choice-offering in the holy place, thou and thy sons and thy house with thee; for it has been given as an ordinance for thee and an ordinance for thy sons, of the sacrifices of peace-offering of the children of Israel.

14  Likewise, the breast which is offered, and the shoulder which is separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, you and your sons, and your daughters with you. For these have been set aside for you and your children from the victims which benefit the sons of Israel.

M S Sam
G
V

15  The thigh of heaving and the breast of waving shall they bring with the offerings of the fat made by fire, to wave it for a wave- offering before YHWH; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, as a due for ever; as the YHWH hath commanded.'

Lv10:15  They shall bring the shoulder of the choice-offering, and the breast of the separation upon the burnt-offerings of the fat, to separate for a separation before the Lord; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for thee and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as the Lord commanded Moses.

15  Since they have lifted up in the sight of the Lord, the shoulder, and the breast, and the fat that is burned on the altar, these also belong to you and to your sons as a perpetual law, just as the Lord has instructed.”

M G S Sam
V

16  And Moses diligently inquired for the goat of the sin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt; and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying

16  Meanwhile, when Moses was searching for the he-goat, which had been offered for sin, he discovered it burned up. And being angry against Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were remaining, he said

M Sam G
V

17  'Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and He hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before YHWH?

17  “Why did you not eat the sacrifice for sin in the holy place, which is the Holy of holies, and which was given to you, so that you might carry the iniquity of the people, and might pray for them in the sight of the Lord,

M S Sam
G
V

18  Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within; ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.'

Lv10:18  For the blood of it was not brought into the holy place: ye shall eat it within, before the Lord, as the Lord commanded me.

18  especially since none of its blood has been brought into the holy places, and since you should have eaten it in the Sanctuary, as was instructed me?”

M S G Sam
V

19  And Aaron spoke unto Moses: 'Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before YHWH, and there have befallen me such things as these; and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of the YHWH?

19  Aaron responded: “This day, the victim for sin has been offered, and the holocaust in the sight of the Lord. But you see what has happened to me. How could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful mind?”

M S Sam
G
V

20  And when Moses heard that, it was well-pleasing in his sight.

Lv10:20  And Moses heard it, and it pleased him.

20  But when Moses had heard this, he was satisfied.

11:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them

Lv11:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

M Sam
G
V

11:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

Lv11:2  Speak ye to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.

Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth.

11:3  Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is wholly cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

Lv11:3  Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat.

All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall eat.

M S Sam
G
V

11:4  Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

Lv11:4  But of these ye shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean.

M Sam
G S
V

11:5  And the rock-badger, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

Lv11:5  And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean,

M G S Sam
V

11:6  And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.

and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,

M Sam G
V

11:7  And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.

and also the swine, which, though its hoof is divided, does not chew over again.

M G S Sam

11:8  Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.

The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.

11:9  These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them may ye eat.

Lv11:9  And these are what ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these ye shall eat.

These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat.

M Sam G

11:10  And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are a detestable thing unto you,

13  These are those things among the birds which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,

13  And these you shall abhor among the birds; they shall not be eaten, because they are unclean: the eagle and the vulture

11:21  Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;

Lv11:21  But these ye shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.

21  But whatever certainly walks upon four feet, and also has longer legs behind, with which it hops upon the earth,

12:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a woman be delivered, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean.

Lv12:2  Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whatsoever woman shall have conceived and born a male child shall be unclean seven days, she shall be unclean according to the days of separation for her monthly courses.

Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A woman, if she has received the seed to bear a male, shall be unclean for seven days, just as in the days of separation due to menstruation.

12:3  And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

M S Sam

12:4  And she shall continue in the blood of purification three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.

Lv12:4  And for thirty-three days she shall continue in her unclean blood; she shall touch nothing holy, and shall not enter the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.

Yet truly, she herself shall remain for thirty-three days in the blood of her purification. She shall not touch anything holy, nor shall she enter into the Sanctuary, until the days of her purification are completed.

12:5  But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and she shall continue in the blood of purification threescore and six days.

Lv12:5  But if she should have born a female child, then she shall be unclean twice seven days, according to the time of her monthly courses; and for sixty-six days shall she remain in her unclean blood.

But if she will bear a female, she shall be unclean for two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly flow, and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days.

M G V S Sam

12:6  And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest.

M G S Sam
V

12:7  And he shall offer it before YHWH, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female.

He shall offer them in the sight of the Lord, and he shall pray for her. And so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for one who bears a male or a female.

12:8  And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons: the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

And if her hand has not obtained or been able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a holocaust, and the other for sin. And the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.

13:1  And YHWH spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying

Lv13:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

M G S Sam

13:2  When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests.

The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among his sons.

13:3  And the priest shall look upon the plague in the skin of the flesh; and if the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

And if he sees that leprosy is in his skin, and that the hair has turned a white color, and that the place where the leprosy appears is lower than the rest of the skin and the flesh, then it is the mark of leprosy, and at his judgment he shall be separated.

M S Sam

13:4  And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days.

Lv13:4  But if the spot be clear and white in the skin of his flesh, yet the appearance of it be not deep below the skin, and its hair have not changed itself for white hair, but it is dark, then the priest shall separate him that has the spot seven days;

But if there will be a shining whiteness in the skin, but it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is of unaffected color, the priest shall seclude him for seven days.

M G S Sam
V

13:5  And the priest shall look on him the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague stay in its appearance, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more.

And on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, for another seven days.

13:6  And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab; and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.

M S Sam

13:7  But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.

Lv13:7  But if the bright spot should have changed and spread in the skin, after the priest has seen him for the purpose of purifying him, then shall he appear the second time to the priest,

But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,

M G S Sam

13:8  And the priest shall look, and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.

13:9  When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest.

Lv13:9  And if a man have a plague of leprosy, then he shall come to the priest;

If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,

M G S Sam

13:10  And the priest shall look, and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising,

10  and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive,

M S Sam

13:11  it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; he shall not shut him up; for he is unclean.

Lv13:11  it is a leprosy waxing old in the skin of the flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall separate him, because he is unclean.

11  it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because he is clearly unclean.

13:12  And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appeareth to the priest;

Lv13:12  And if the leprosy should have come out very evidently in the skin, and the leprosy should cover all the skin of the patient from the head to the feet, wheresoever the priest shall look;

12  But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes,

M G S Sam

13:13  then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague; it is all turned white: he is clean.

13  the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean.

M Sam

13:14  But whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

Lv13:14  But on whatsoever day the quick flesh shall appear on him, he shall be pronounced unclean.

14  Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him,

M G S Sam

13:15  And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy.

15  then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean.

M S G Sam

13:16  But if the raw flesh again be turned into white, then he shall come unto the priest;

16  And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man,

M G S Sam

13:17  and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.

Lv13:18  And if the flesh should have become an ulcer in his skin, and should be healed,

M V S Sam

13:19  and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.

Lv13:19  and there should be in the place of the ulcer a white sore, or one looking white and bright, or fiery, and it shall be seen by the priest;

M G S Sam

13:21  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be dim, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.

21  But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days.

M S Sam

13:22  And if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.

Lv13:22  But if it manifestly spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy; it has broken out in the ulcer.

22  And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.

M G S Sam
V

13:23  But if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

23  But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.

13:24  Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish- white, or white;

Lv13:24  And if the flesh be in his skin in a state of fiery inflammation, and there should be in his skin the part which is healed of the inflammation, bright, clear, and white, suffused with red or very white;

24  But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,

M G S Sam

13:25  then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

25  the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.

13:26  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days.

26  But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,

13:27  And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day; if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

27  and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.

13:28  And if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim, it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the burning.

28  But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn.

M Sam G S Sam

13:29  And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard,

29  If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them,

M G S Sam

13:30  then the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.

30  and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard.

M G Sam

13:31  And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days.

31  But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him for seven days,

31  And if the priest look on the disease, and it does not appear deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall observe it seven days;

M G S Sam

13:32  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin,

32  and on the seventh day he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh,

M Sam

V

13:33  then he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more.

Lv13:33  then the skin shall be shaven, but the scurf shall not be shaven; and the priest shall set aside the person having the scurf the second time for seven days.

33  the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded for another seven days.

M S Sam

13:34  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall; and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

Lv13:34  And the priest shall see the scurf on the seventh day; and, behold, if the scurf is not spread in the skin after the man’s being shaved, and the appearance of the scurf is not hollow beneath the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean.

34  On the seventh day, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean.

13:35  But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing,

Lv13:35  But if the scurf be indeed spread in the skin after he has been purified,

35  But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin,

M G S Sam
V

13:36  then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair: he is unclean.

36  he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean.

M S Sam

13:37  But if the scall stay in its appearance, and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

Lv13:37  But if the scurf remain before him in its place, and a dark hair should have arisen in it, the scurf is healed: he is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

37  Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.

M G Sam

13:38  And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

38  If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman,

38  If a man or a woman have in the skin of the body shiny spots, bright or white spots,

M G S Sam

13:39  then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white, it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin: he is clean.

39  the priest shall examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean.

13:40  And if a man's hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

Lv13:40  And if any one’s head should lose the hair, he is only bald, he is clean.

40  The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean.

M G V S Sam

13:41  And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead-bald; yet is he clean.

M Sam

13:42  But if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

Lv13:42  And if there should be in his baldness of head, or his baldness of forehead, a white or fiery plague, it is leprosy in his baldness of head, or baldness of forehead.

42  But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color,

M S Sam
G
V

13:43  Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,

Lv13:43  And the priest shall look upon him, and, behold, if the appearance of the plague be white or inflamed in his baldness of head or baldness in front, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of his flesh,

43  and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness.

M G S Sam

13:44  he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean: his plague is in his head.

44  Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest,

M G Sam

13:45  And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry: 'Unclean, unclean.'

45  shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy.

45  And he who has the plague, his clothes shall be rent and his head shaved, and he shall cover his lips and call himself unclean.

M S Sam

V

13:46  All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean; he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling be.

Lv13:46  All the days in which the plague shall be upon him, being unclean, he shall be esteemed unclean; he shall dwell apart, his place of sojourn shall be without the camp.

46  The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp.

13:47  And when the plague of leprosy is in a garment, whether it be a woolen garment, or a linen garment;

Lv13:47  And if a garment have in it the plague of leprosy, a garment of wool, or a garment of flax,

47  A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy,

13:48  or in the warp, or in the woof, whether they be of linen, or of wool; or in a skin, or in any thing made of skin.

Lv13:48  either in the warp or in the woof, or in the linen, or in the woollen threads, or in a skin, or in any workmanship of skin,

48  in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin,

M S Sam

13:49  If the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown unto the priest.

Lv13:49  and the plague be greenish or reddish in the skin, or in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any utensil of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and he shall show it to the priest.

49  if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.

M G S Sam
V

13:50  And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up that which hath the plague seven days.

50  And he, having examined it, shall close it up for seven days.

M S Sam
G
V

13:51  And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for, the plague is a malignant leprosy: it is unclean.

Lv13:51  And the priest shall look upon the plague on the seventh day; and if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, in whatsoever things skins may be used in their workmanship, the plague is a confirmed leprosy; it is unclean.

51  And on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found.

M Sam G
V

13:52  And he shall burn the garment, or the warp, or the woof, whether it be of wool or of linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is; for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

52  And because of this, it shall be burned in flames.

M G S Sam
V

13:53  And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;

53  But if he will have seen that it has not increased,

M S Sam
G
V

13:54  then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more.

Lv13:54  then the priest shall give directions, and one shall wash that on which there may have been the plague, and the priest shall set it aside a second time for seven days.

54  he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days.

M G Sam
V
S

13:55  And the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague have not changed its colour, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without.

55  And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole.

55  And the priest shall look on the plague after it is washed; and if the plague has not changed its appearance and the disease has not changed its color and the plague has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire; it has been diseased when it was new or when old.

M S Sam
G
V

13:56  And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after the washing thereof, then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof.

Lv13:56  And if the priest should look, and the spot be dark after it has been washed, he shall tear it off from the garment, either from the warp or from the woof, or from the skin.

56  But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound.

13:57  And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is breaking out, thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.

Lv13:57  And if it should still appear in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it is a leprosy bursting forth: that wherein is the plague shall be burnt with fire.

57  But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire.

M G S Sam
V

13:58  And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.

58  If it will have ceased, he shall wash with water the parts which are pure for a second time, and they shall be clean.

13:59  This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

59  This is the law about leprosy for any woolen or linen garment, in the weave and in the threads, and for all items made from skins, how it must be declared either clean or contaminated.

Lv14:2  This is the law of the leper: in whatsoever day he shall have been cleansed, then shall he be brought to the priest.

This is the rite for a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest,

M G S Sam

14:3  And 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;

who, departing from the camp, when he has found the leprosy to be cleansed,

M S Sam

14:4  then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

Lv14:4  And the priest shall give directions, and they shall take for him that is cleansed two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

shall instruct him who is to be purified to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and vermillion, and hyssop.

M G S Sam

14:5  And the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

And he shall order that one of the sparrows be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters.

14:6  As 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.

But the other living one, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, he shall dip in the blood of the immolated sparrow.

Lv14:8  and the man that has been cleansed shall wash his garments, and shall shave off all his hair, and shall wash himself in water, and shall be clean; and after that he shall go into the camp, and shall remain out of his house seven days.

And when the man will have washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair from his body, and he shall be washed with water. And having been purified, he shall enter into the camp, only to this extent: that he may remain outside his own tent for seven days.

M G S Sam

14:9  And 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.

And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, as well as the hair of his entire body. And having washed his clothes again, and his body,

14:10  And 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.

10  on the eighth day, he shall take two immaculate lambs, and a one-year-old female sheep without blemish, and three tenths of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and separately, one twelfth hin of oil.

M G Sam

14:11  And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be cleansed, and those things, before YHWH, at the door of the tent of meeting.

11  And when the priest purifying the man has presented him and all these things in the sight of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,

11  And the priest who does the cleansing shall present the man who is to be cleansed and those things before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;

M G S Sam
V

14:12  And 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 YHWH.

12  he shall take a lamb and offer it for transgression, with the twelfth hin of oil. And having offered all these before the Lord,

M S Sam
G
V

14:13  And 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.

Lv14:13  and they shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the whole-burnt-offerings, and the sin-offerings, in the holy places; for it is a sin-offering: as the trespass-offering, it belongs to the priest, it is most holy.

13  he shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is usually immolated with the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For just as with the one for sin, so also the victim for transgression belongs to the priest. It is the Holy of holies.

M G S Sam

14:34  When 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;

34  When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, which I will give to you as a possession, if there is the mark of leprosy in a building,

34  Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you 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,

M G Sam
V S

14:35  then 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.'

35  he whose house it is shall go and report to the priest, saying: “It seems to me that the mark of leprosy is in my house.”

M Sam G V

14:36  And 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.

M G S Sam

14:37  And 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;

37  And when he will have seen in its walls something like little hollows, deformed with paleness or redness, and lower than the remaining surface,

14:38  then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

38  he shall exit by the door of the house, and immediately close it up for seven days.

14:39  And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

39  And returning on the seventh day, he shall examine it. If he finds that the leprosy has spread,

14:40  then 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.

40  he shall order the stones in which the leprosy is, to be dug out and cast outside the city in an unclean place,

43  But if, after the stones have been dug out, and the dust wiped away, and it is plastered with other clay,

14:44  then 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.

44  the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has returned, and that the walls are sprinkled with spots, then it is a persistent leprosy and the house is unclean.

M G S Sam

14:48  And 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.

48  But if the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has not spread in the house, after it had been newly plastered, he shall purify it, restoring it to health.

14:49  And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

49  And for its purification, he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and vermillion, as well as hyssop,

14:50  And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

50  and, having immolated one sparrow in an earthen vessel over living waters,

14:51  And 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.

51  he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and he shall dip all these in the blood of the immolated sparrow, and also in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times.

14:52  And 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.

52  And he shall purify it as much with the blood of the sparrow as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the vermillion.

14:53  But 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.

53  And when he has released the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be justly cleansed.
