And Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

And the L-rd spoke to Moses, saying:

This shall be the law regarding the person with tzoraas on the day of his purification, he shall be brought to the kohein.

This shall be the Tora of the one stricken with żara῾at in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest:

This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his cleansing [(whence it is derived that he is not cleansed at night)]; he shall be brought to the Cohein.

The kohein shall go out beyond the encampment. The kohein shall see; and behold! the skin-eruption of tzoraas has healed from the person with tzoraas.

and the priest shall go out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of żara῾at be healed in the one afflicted;

And the Cohein shall go outside the camp [(outside the three camps, where the leper was sent in the days of his confirmed leprosy)], and the Cohein shall see, and, behold, if the plague-spot of leprosy is healed from the leper,

The kohein shall command to take for the person undergoing purification two live, pure [kosher] birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop.

then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

Then the Cohein shall command that there be taken for the one to be cleansed two clean, living [(excluding treifah)] birds. ([Leprosy, coming upon one because of slander, birds ("chirpers") are brought)], and cedar-wood [(leprosy coming upon one (also) because of pride)], and [a tongue of] wool (dyed) scarlet (sh'ni tola'ath), and hyssop. [What is his "remedy"? Let him "lower" himself, like a worm (tola'ath) and like hyssop.]

The kohein shall command to slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel, over running water.

and the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

And the Cohein shall command and he shall slaughter one bird into an earthen vessel over living water [He places the water (a quarter of a log) in the vessel first so that the blood of the bird be discernible in it.]

[As for] the living bird, he shall take it; and the cedar wood, the crimson thread and the hyssop and immerse them and the live bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water.

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:

The living bird, he shall take it [by itself] and the cedar-wood, and the scarlet wool, and the hyssop [(all three bound together)], and he shall dip them and the living bird [together] in the blood of the slaughtered bird over the living water.

He shall sprinkle on the person undergoing purification from the tzoraas, seven times and make him pure; and send the live bird into the open field.

and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the żara῾at seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

And he shall sprinkle upon the one to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and he shall cleanse him, and he shall send the living bird over the face of the field.

The person undergoing purification shall wash his garments, and shave off all of his hair, and bathe in water, and he will become purified. After [this], he may come into the encampment. He must remain, outside of his tent, for seven days.

And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water, and be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, but he shall remain outside his tent seven days.

And the one to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and he shall shave all of his hair, and he shall bathe in water, and he shall be clean; and he shall come into the camp. And he shall sit outside his tent [(i.e., he shall abstain from marital relations)] for seven days.

It shall be, that on the seventh day, he shall shave off all of his hair, [that of] his head, his beard and his eyebrows; he shall shave off all of his hair. He shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water and become purified.

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 bathe his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

And it shall be on the seventh day that he shall shave all of his hair. His head, his beard, and the brows of his eyes — all of his [visible, "gathered"] hair shall he shave. And he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

On the eighth day, he shall take two unblemished lambs and one ewe in her first year, unblemished, and three tenths fine flour, for a meal-offering, mixed with oil and one log of oil.

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 measures of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year, without blemish [for a sin-offering], and three tenth parts of (an ephah of) fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with oil, [for the libations of these three lambs], and one log of oil [for the seven sprinklings and the applications on ear and thumbs].

The kohein doing the purification, shall place the man undergoing the purification and the [aforementioned] items, before Adonoy, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

And the priest that makes him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the Tent of Meeting:

And the Cohein that cleanses shall stand the man who is to be cleansed and those (things) before the L-rd [(at the gate of Nikanor, not in the azarah itself, for he lacks atonement)], at the door of the tent of meeting.

The kohein shall take one lamb and bring it as a guilt-offering, and (with) the log of oil and wave them as a wave-offering before Adonoy.

and the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer it for a guilt offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:

And the Cohein shall take one of the he-lambs, and he shall bring it near [into the azarah] as a guilt-offering [to be waved (live)], and the log of oil, and he shall wave them [the guilt-offering and the log] before the L-rd.

He shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the sacred place; for, just as the sin-offering—is the guilt-offering; it belongs to the kohein, it is most holy.

and he shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the guilt offering: it is most holy:

And he shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin-offering and the burnt-offering [(on the side of the altar in the north)], in the holy place. For as the sin-offering [i.e., as all sin-offerings], the guilt-offering [i.e., this guilt-offering] is the Cohein's [i.e., it is subject to all of the Cohein's services for a sin-offering. But (unlike a sin-offering, its blood is not applied on the altar above (but it is dashed roundabout the altar below, for)] it is holy of holies. [see 7:2].

The kohein shall take from the blood of the guilt-offering and the kohein shall put it on the middle ridge of the right ear of the person being purified, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

and the priest shall take some 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:

The kohein shall immerse his right finger in some of the oil that is on his left palm and he shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Adonoy.

and 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:

And the Cohein shall dip his right finger from the oil on his left palm, and he shall sprinkle from the oil with his finger seven times before the L-rd [i.e., opposite the holy of holies].

From the remaining oil that is on his palm, the kohein shall put on the middle ridge of the right ear of the person being purified, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot; on [over] the blood of the guilt-offering.

and 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:

And from the rest of the oil which is on his palm, the Cohein shall place on the tnuch of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the guilt-offering.

Whatever oil remains that is on the palm of the kohein, he shall put on the head of the person undergoing purification. The kohein will atone for him before Adonoy.

and the remnant of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.

And what is left over of the oil which is on the palm of the Cohein, he shall place on the head of the one who is to be cleansed, and the Cohein shall atone for him before the L-rd.

And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterwards he shall kill the burnt offering:

And the Cohein shall offer up the sin-offering, and he shall atone for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanliness, and then he shall slaughter the burnt-offering.

The kohein shall raise up the burnt-offering and the meal-offering onto the altar and the kohein will atone for him and he will be purified.

and 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.

And the Cohein shall offer up on the altar the burnt-offering and the [libation] meal-offering [which accompanies an animal sacrifice], and the Cohein shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

And if he be poor, and his means do not suffice; then he shall take one lamb for a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth measure of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

And if he is poor and his means do not suffice, then he shall take one he-lamb as a guilt-offering to be waved to make atonement for him, and one tenth-part of fine flour mixed with oil as a meal-offering, and a log of oil [for application on the thumbs].

And two turtledoves or two young pigeons such as his means suffice. One shall be for a sin-offering and one shall be for a burnt-offering.

and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as his means permit; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

And two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, such as his means suffice for; and one shall be a sin-offering, and the other, a burnt-offering.

He shall bring them on the eighth day of his purification, to the kohein, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before Adonoy.

And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord.

And he shall bring them to the Cohein on the eighth day of his cleansing [i.e., the eighth day after the bringing of the birds and the sprinkling from the (dipping of the) cedar-wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet] to the door of the tent of meeting before the L-rd.

The kohein shall take the guilt-offering sheep and the log of oil and the kohein shall wave them as a wave-offering before Adonoy.

And 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:

And the Cohein shall take the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the Cohein shall wave them, a wave-offering before the L-rd.

He shall slaughter the guilt-offering lamb. The kohein shall take some blood of the guilt-offering and put it on the middle ridge of the right ear of the person undergoing purification, and on the thumb of his right hand and the big toe of his right foot.

And the Cohein shall place from the oil that is on his palm upon the tnuch of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the guilt-offering [(even if the blood has been wiped off, the "place" being the crucial factor)].

What remains of the oil that is on the palm of the kohein, he shall put on the head of the person undergoing purification, to achieve his atonement before Adonoy.

Adonoy spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,

And the L-rd spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

When you will come into the land of Canaan that I will give to you for a possession, and I shall put the eruption of tzoraas in the house of the land of your possession.

When you come into the land of Kena῾an, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of żara῾at in a house of the land of your possession;

When you come to the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a plague-spot of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession [(a "glad tiding." All forty years that Israel was in the desert the Amorites stored treasure in the walls of their houses. The L-rd here apprises them that He will send plague upon these houses. When they raze the house (as per the halachah) they will find it.)] —

Whoevers house it is, shall come and tell to the kohein, saying, Something like an eruption has appeared to me in the house.

and he that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

Then he whose house it is shall come, and he shall tell the Cohein, saying: As a plague-spot [(Even if he is a sage, and knows it to be a plague-spot, he should say only "As a plague spot")] there has appeared to me in the house.

The kohein shall command, and they shall empty the house [of its contents] before the kohein will come to see the eruption so everything in the house shall not become impure. Afterwards, the kohein shall come to see the house.

then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, so that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

And the Cohein shall command, and they shall empty out the house before the Cohein comes in to see the plague-spot, so that there not be made unclean all that is in the house [(Scripture being solicitous even of earthen vessels, which if unclean, cannot be cleansed in a mikveh (but must be broken)]; and then the Cohein shall come to see the house.

He shall see the eruption and behold! The eruption is in the walls of the house; impressions, of greenest green or of reddest red and they appear to be lower than the [surface of] the wall.

and he shall look at the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house in greenish or reddish depressions, which in sight are lower than the wall;

And he shall see the plague-spot, and, behold, if the plague-spot is in the walls of the house, embedded, deep green or deep red, and their appearance is lower than the (level of the) wall,

The kohein shall go out of the house to the entrance of the house, and place the house under quarantine for seven days.

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

Then the Cohein shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and he shall shut up the house for seven days.

The kohein shall return on the seventh day and shall see; and behold! the eruption has spread in the walls of the house.

and the priest shall come back on the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

And the Cohein shall return on the seventh day and he shall see: If the plague-spot is spread in the walls of the house,

The kohein shall command and they shall remove the stones in which there is the eruption and cast them away, beyond the city to an impure place.

then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city:

Then the Cohein shall command, and they shall remove the stones containing the plague-spot, and they shall cast them outside the city into an unclean place [i.e., a place not used for (ritually) clean things (Scripture apprising us that these stones render their place unclean while they are in it)].

He shall scrape the house from the inside, all around, and they shall throw away the earth that they scraped, beyond the city, to an impure place.

and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city in an unclean place:

And the house he shall scrape from inside roundabout [the plague-spot (i.e., he shall scrape the plaster around the plague-spot stones)], and they shall spill the mortar scrapings outside the city into an unclean place.

They shall take other stones, and they shall bring them to replace the stones, and he shall take other earth and plaster the house.

and 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.

And they shall take other stones, and they shall bring them in place of the stones; and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.

If the eruption returns and sprouts in the house after the stones were removed, and after the house was scraped, and after it was plastered,

And if the plague come back, and break out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered;

And if the plague-spot returns and blossoms in the house [at the end of a week] after he removed the stones and after the house has been scraped and after it has been plastered, [This verse continues (45): "Then he shall break down the house," until (47): "and he shall wash his clothes."]

the kohein shall come and see; and behold! the eruption has spread in the house; prickly tzoraas is in the house, it is impure.

then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a malignant żara῾at in the house: it is unclean.

[This verse is to be understood as following (verse 47)] And if the Cohein shall come and see [at the end of the second week (if it remained the same at the end of the first week)] and, behold, the plague-spot has spread in the house, it is "pricking" leprosy in the house; it is unclean [and he "removes, scrapes, plasters" and shuts it up another week. If it returns, he razes it; if it does not return, it requires birds (for cleansing — see 49). Verse 48 is to be understood as following at this point.]

He shall dismantle the house; its stones and its wood and all the earth of the house. He shall take it out beyond the city, to an impure place.

And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

[See 43] Then he shall break down the house — its stones, its wood, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.

Whoever will come inside the house [during] all the days of its confinement, shall be impure until the evening.

Moreover he that goes into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.

And he who comes into the house all the days [(in a "confirmed" house, even after scraping)] that he has shut it up [(but not while it is undergoing scraping)] shall be unclean until the evening. [The clothes of one who merely "enters," however, are not rendered unclean.]

Whoever will lie down inside the house shall wash his garments. Whoever will eat inside the house shall wash his garments.

And he that lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

And he who lies in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes [i.e., one who remains in the house the amount of time it takes to eat a p'ras (a half-loaf) shall wash his clothes].

If the kohein shall come and see; and behold! the eruption did not spread in the house after the house was plastered, the kohein shall pronounce the house [to be] pure, for the eruption has been healed.

And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

[See 44] And if the Cohein comes [at the end of the second week], and he sees, and, behold, the plague-spot has not spread in the house, [he removes, scrapes, and plasters], and after plastering the house, the Cohein shall declare the house clean [if the plague-spot has not reappeared at the end of the week], for the plague spot has been healed.

He shall take, to purify the house, two birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop.

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

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

He shall slaughter one bird in an earthenware vessel, over running water.

and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

And he shall slaughter one bird into a vessel over living water.

He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the crimson thread and the live bird and immerse them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

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 slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

And he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and he shall dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and in the living water, and he shall sprinkle upon the house seven times.

He shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the crimson thread.

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:

And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the living water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.

He shall send the living bird, beyond the city into the open field, and atone for the house and it shall be purified.

but he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

And he shall send the living bird outside the city over the face of the field, and he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

This is the law for all the eruptions of tzoraas and for the nesek.

This is the Tora for all manner of plague of żara῾at, and the patch,

This is the law for all plague-spots of leprosy and for a nethek.

For tzoraas of the garment and of the house.

and for the żara῾at of a garment, and of a house,

And for the leprosy of a garment and of a house.

For the spot white as wool, for the spot that is nearly as white and for the spot white as snow.

and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

And for a se'eth and for a sapachath and for a bahereth.

To teach [the law] of the day of becoming impure and of the day of becoming pure; this is the law of tzoraas.

to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the Tora of żara῾at.

To teach concerning the day it is declared unclean and the day it is declared clean. This is the law of leprosy.
