14Then^a Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²“This is the regulation of the person afflicted with a skin disease at the time of^b his cleansing. And he shall be brought to the priest, ³and the priest shall go outside the camp,^c and the priest shall examine him,^d and if^e the skin disease’s infection is healed on^f the afflicted person, ⁴then^g the priest shall command, and he shall take two living, clean birds and cedar wood^h and a crimson threadⁱ and hyssop for the one who presents himself for cleansing. ⁵Then^j the priest shall command someone^k to slaughter one bird over fresh water in a clay vessel. ⁶He must take the living bird and the cedar wood^l and the crimson thread^m and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird in the bird’s blood slaughtered over the fresh water. ⁷And he shall spatter the bloodⁿ seven times on the one who presents himself for cleansing from the infectious skin disease, and he shall declare him clean, and he shall send the living bird into the open field.^o ⁸Then^p the one who presents himself for cleansing shall wash his garments, and he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash himself in the water; thus^q he shall be clean, and afterward he shall enter the camp, but^r he shall stay outside his tent^s for seven days. ⁹And then^t on the seventh day he must shave off all his hair—he must shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows^u and all the rest^v of his hair—and he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his body in the water; thus^w he shall be clean.

¹⁰“And on the eighth day he must take two male lambs without defect and one ewe-lamb in its first year^x without defect and three-tenths of an ephah^y of finely milled flour mixed with oil as a grain offering and one log of oil. ¹¹And the priest who cleanses him^z shall present the man who presents himself for cleansing and these things^a before^b Yahweh at the entrance of the tent of assembly. ¹²Then^c the priest shall take the one male lamb, and he shall present it as a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and he shall wave them as a wave offering before^d Yahweh. ¹³And he shall slaughter the male lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin offering and the burnt offering in the sanctuary’s space,^e because as the sin offering belongs to the priest, so also the guilt offering—it is a most holy thing.^f ¹⁴And the priest shall take some of^g the guilt offering’s blood, and the priest shall put it^h on the right ear’s lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe. ¹⁵And the priest shall take some ofⁱ the log of oil, and he shall pour it^j on his^k left palm; ¹⁶and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is on his left palm, and he shall spatter some of^l the oil with his finger seven times before^m Yahweh. ¹⁷Thenⁿ the priest shall put some of^o the remaining oil, which is on his palm, on the right ear’s lobe of the one to be cleansed and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe, on top of the guilt offering’s blood.^p ¹⁸And the remaining oil that is on the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one who presents himself for cleansing, and the priest shall make atonement for him before^q Yahweh. ¹⁹Thus^r the priest shall sacrifice^s the sin offering, and he shall make atonement for the one who presents himself for cleansing from his uncleanness, and afterward he shall slaughter the burnt offering. ²⁰Then^t the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar, and the priest shall make atonement for him, and so he shall be clean.

²¹“But^u if he is poor and he cannot afford^v it,^w then^x he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering as a wave offering to make atonement for himself and one-tenth of an ephah^y of finely milled flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil, ²²and two turtledoves or two young doves^z that he can afford,^a and one shall be a sin offering and the other^b a burnt offering. ²³And he shall bring them to the priest at the tent of assembly’s entrance before^c Yahweh on the eighth day for his cleansing. ²⁴And the priest shall take the male lamb for the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before^d Yahweh; ²⁵and he shall slaughter the male lamb of the guilt offering, and the priest shall take some of^e the guilt offering’s blood, and he shall put it^f on the right ear’s lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe. ²⁶Then^g the priest shall pour out some of^h the oil on his ownⁱ left palm, ²⁷and with his right finger the priest shall spatter some of^j the oil that is on his left palm seven times before^k Yahweh. ²⁸Then^l the priest shall put some of^m the oil that is on his palm on the right ear’s lobe of the one who presents himself for cleansing and on his right hand’s thumb and on his right foot’s big toe on the place of the guilt offering’s blood. ²⁹And the remaining oil that is on the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one who presents himself for cleansing to make atonement for him beforeⁿ Yahweh. ³⁰And he shall sacrifice^o one of the turtledoves or the young doves^p that he can afford,^q ³¹even^r what he can afford,^s the one as a sin offering and the other^t as a burnt offering in addition to the grain offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the one who presents himself for cleansing before^u Yahweh. ³²This is the regulation of the one on whom is an infectious skin disease who cannot afford^v the cost^w for his cleansing.”
