¹⁰On the eighth day he shall bring two male lambs and one female lamb a year old that are without any defects, three kilogrammes of flour mixed with olive oil, and a third of a litre of olive oil. ¹¹The priest shall take the person and these offerings to the entrance of the Tent of the Lord’s presence. ¹²Then the priest shall take one of the male lambs and together with the one-third of a litre of oil he shall offer it as a repayment offering. He shall present them as a special gift to the Lord for the priest. ¹³He shall kill the lamb in the place where the animals for the sin offerings and the burnt offerings are killed. He must do this because the repayment offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest and is very holy. ¹⁴The priest shall take some of the blood of the lamb and put it on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who is to be declared ritually clean. ¹⁵The priest shall take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand, ¹⁶dip a finger of his right hand in it, and sprinkle some of it seven times there in the Lord’s presence. ¹⁷He shall take some of the oil that is in the palm of his hand and some of the blood of the lamb and put them on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who is to be declared ritually clean. ¹⁸He shall put the rest of the oil that is in the palm of his hand on the person’s head. In this way he shall perform the ritual of purification.

¹⁹Then the priest shall offer the sin offering and perform the ritual of purification. After that, he shall kill the animal for the burnt offering ²⁰and offer it with the grain offering on the altar. In this way the priest shall perform the ritual of purification, and the person will be ritually clean.
