痲瘋病患者的潔淨條例
1耶和華對摩西說： 2「以下是有關痲瘋病患者的潔淨條例。
「痲瘋病患者痊癒後，要通知祭司。 3祭司要到營外去檢查，如果發現他的病已痊癒， 4要吩咐人為他拿來兩隻潔淨的鳥、香柏木、朱紅色線和牛膝草。 5祭司要吩咐人在一個盛清水的陶器上宰殺一隻鳥， 6然後祭司要把另一隻鳥，連同香柏木、朱紅色線和牛膝草一起蘸在摻了清水的鳥血裡。 7祭司要用鳥血在他身上灑七次，宣佈他是潔淨的，然後放走那隻活鳥，讓牠飛向田野。 8他要洗淨衣服，剃去所有毛髮，沐浴之後便潔淨了，可以回到營內，但要住在自己的帳篷外七天。 9第七天，他要再次剃掉頭髮、鬍鬚和眉毛等各處毛髮，並洗衣、沐浴，之後便潔淨了。
10「第八天，他要帶來兩隻毫無殘疾的公羊羔、一隻毫無殘疾的一歲母羊羔、三公斤作素祭的調油的細麵粉和一杯油。 11主持潔淨禮的祭司要把他及其祭物帶到會幕門口、耶和華面前， 12並獻上一隻公羊羔和一杯油作贖過祭，作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖。 13他要在殺贖罪祭牲和燔祭牲的聖潔之處宰公羊羔。贖過祭的祭物要歸祭司，像贖罪祭一樣，這是至聖之物。 14祭司要拿一些贖過祭祭牲的血抹在求潔淨者的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右腳大腳趾上。 15祭司要拿那杯油，倒一些在自己左手掌中， 16用一根右手指蘸左手掌裡的油，在耶和華面前彈灑七次， 17然後用手掌中剩下的油抹求潔淨者的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右腳大腳趾，就是抹了贖過祭祭牲血的地方。 18祭司要把手掌裡剩下的油抹在求潔淨者的頭上。這樣，祭司在耶和華面前為他贖了罪。 19祭司要獻上贖罪祭，為求潔淨者贖罪。然後，祭司要宰殺燔祭牲， 20在祭壇上獻燔祭和素祭，為他贖罪，他就潔淨了。
21「他如果貧窮，獻不起那麼多祭物，可以獻一隻公羊羔作贖過祭，用搖祭的方式贖罪；也要獻一公斤作素祭的調油的細麵粉和一杯油； 22還要按自己的能力獻兩隻斑鳩或雛鴿，一隻作贖罪祭，一隻作燔祭。 23第八天，他必須把這些祭物帶到會幕門口，在耶和華面前交給祭司。 24祭司要用作贖過祭的羊羔和一杯油作搖祭，在耶和華面前搖一搖。 25接著，祭司要宰殺作贖過祭的羊羔，拿一些羊血抹在他的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右腳大腳趾上。 26祭司也要把一些油倒在自己左手掌中， 27用一根右手指蘸左手掌中的油，在耶和華面前彈灑七次， 28然後把手掌中的一些油抹在他的右耳垂、右手大拇指和右腳大腳趾上，就是抹了贖過祭祭牲血的地方。 29祭司要把手掌裡剩下的油抹在他頭上，在耶和華面前為他贖罪。 30然後獻上那人按自己能力帶來的兩隻斑鳩或雛鴿， 31一隻作贖罪祭，一隻作燔祭。這樣，祭司在耶和華面前為他贖了罪。 32這是獻不起潔淨禮所需祭物的痲瘋病患者應當遵守的條例。」
處理房子發黴的條例
33耶和華對摩西和亞倫說：
34「你們到了我賜給你們作產業的迦南以後，如果我使那裡的房屋中有發黴現象， 35屋主必須去告訴祭司，『我的房子裡好像有發黴現象。』 36祭司進去檢查前，要吩咐人把房子騰空，免得房子裡的一切都變得不潔淨。之後，祭司要進去檢查， 37如發現牆壁上出現紅色或綠色黴斑，並且侵入牆中， 38就要封閉房子七天。 39第七天，祭司要回去檢查。若發現牆壁上的黴斑蔓延， 40就要下令拆掉有黴斑的石塊，丟到城外不潔淨的地方， 41然後命人刮掉屋內牆壁上的灰泥，倒在城外不潔淨的地方。 42要另找石塊補被拆掉的地方，並用灰泥重新粉刷房子。
43「如果拆掉石塊、刮掉灰泥、重新粉刷以後，黴斑再度出現並蔓延， 44祭司要去檢查，若發現黴斑已蔓延，那房子就不潔淨。 45房主要拆掉房子，把石塊、木料和所有灰泥都丟到城外不潔淨的地方。 46房子封閉期間，任何人進去，都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 47凡在房內睡覺或吃飯的人，都必須洗淨衣服。
48「祭司檢查粉刷後的房子，若發現房內沒有再度出現黴斑，就要宣佈房子是潔淨的。 49為潔淨房子，祭司要取兩隻鳥、香柏木、朱紅色線和牛膝草， 50在一個盛清水的陶器上宰殺一隻鳥， 51然後用香柏木、牛膝草、朱紅色線和另一隻活鳥蘸摻了清水的鳥血，向房子灑七次。 52祭司用鳥血、清水、活鳥、香柏木、牛膝草和朱紅色線潔淨那房子後， 53要放走那隻活鳥，讓牠飛到城外的田野。這樣，祭司為那房子贖了罪，房子就潔淨了。」
54以上是有關痲瘋病、疥癬、 55衣物或房子發黴、 56腫包、皮疹或白斑的條例。 57根據這些條例，可以分辨有關的人或物何時潔淨、何時不潔淨。
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: 3And 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; 4Then 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:14.4 birds: or, sparrows 5And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: 6As 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: 7And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.14.7 into…: Heb. upon the face of the field 8And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. 9But 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, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
10And 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 deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.14.10 of the…: Heb. the daughter of her year 11And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 12And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: 13And he shall slay 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 trespass offering: it is most holy: 14And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass 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: 15And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand: 16And 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: 17And 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 trespass offering: 18And 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 an atonement for him before the LORD. 19And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering: 20And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;14.21 cannot…: Heb. his hand reach not14.21 to be…: Heb. for a waving 22And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. 23And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD. 24And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: 25And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and 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: 26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: 27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD: 28And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand 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 place of the blood of the trespass offering: 29And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD. 30And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 31Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD. 32This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
33¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 34When ye be 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; 35And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house: 36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it 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:14.36 empty: or, prepare 37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall; 38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: 39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; 40Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city: 41And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place: 42And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house. 43And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered; 44Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean. 45And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. 46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. 48And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.14.48 shall come…: Heb. in coming in shall come in, etc 49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: 51And 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: 52And 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: 53But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 55And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: 57To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.14.57 when it is unclean…: Heb. in the day of the unclean, and in the day of the clean
