Leviticus 14:1-57

Making People “Clean” From Skin Diseases

1The Lord spoke to Moses. He told him to say to the people, 2“Here are the rules for making anyone ‘clean’ who has had a skin disease. They apply when the person is brought to the priest. 3The priest must go outside the camp. He must look the person over carefully. Suppose they have been healed of their skin disease. 4Then the priest will order someone to bring him two live ‘clean’ birds. He will also order someone to bring him some cedar wood, bright red yarn and branches of a hyssop plant. All these things will be used to make the person ‘clean.’ 5The priest will order someone to kill one of the birds. It must be killed over fresh water in a clay pot. 6Then the priest must take the live bird. He must dip it into the blood of the bird killed over the fresh water. He must dip it into the blood together with the cedar wood, the bright red yarn and the hyssop plant. 7The priest will sprinkle the blood on the person who had the skin disease. That will make them ‘clean.’ The priest must sprinkle them seven times. Then the priest must announce that they are ‘clean.’ After that, the priest must let the live bird go free in the open fields.

8“The person must also wash their clothes to be made ‘clean.’ They must shave off all their hair. They must take a bath. Then they will be ‘clean.’ After that, they may come into the camp. But they must stay outside their tent for seven days. 9On the seventh day they must shave off all their hair. They must shave their head. They must shave off their beard. They must also shave off their eyebrows and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes. They must take a bath. Then they will be ‘clean.’

10“On the eighth day they must bring two male lambs and one female lamb as an offering. The female must be a year old. The lambs must not have any flaws. They must also bring 11 pounds of the finest flour as a grain offering. They must mix it with olive oil. They must also bring 11 ounces of oil. 11The priest who announces that the person is ‘clean’ must bring them and their offerings to me. He must do it at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

12“Then the priest must take one of the male lambs. He must offer it as a guilt offering. He must offer it along with 11 ounces of oil. He must lift all of it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering. 13He must kill the lamb in the holy area where sin offerings and burnt offerings are killed. The guilt offering belongs to the priest, just as the sin offering does. The guilt offering is very holy. 14The priest must take some of the blood from the guilt offering and put it on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot. 15Then the priest must take some of the oil and pour it into his own left hand. 16He must dip his right forefinger into the oil in his hand. He must use his finger to sprinkle some of the oil in front of me seven times. 17The priest must put some of the oil in his hand on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering. He must put some on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must put some on the big toe of their right foot. 18He must put on their head the rest of the oil in his hand. It will pay for the person’s sin in my sight.

19“Then the priest must sacrifice the sin offering. It will pay for the person’s sin. They will be made ‘clean’ after being ‘unclean.’ After that, the priest will kill the burnt offering. 20He will offer it on the altar. He will offer it together with the grain offering. It will pay for the person’s sin. Then they will be ‘clean.’

21“But suppose they are poor. Suppose they can’t afford all these offerings. Then they must bring one male lamb as a guilt offering. It must be lifted up and waved in front of me to pay for their sin. They must also bring three and a half pounds of the finest flour along with the lamb. They must mix the flour with olive oil. It is a grain offering. They must offer it along with 11 ounces of oil. 22They must also bring two doves or two young pigeons that they can afford. One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering.

23“On the eighth day they must bring them to the priest so they can be made ‘clean.’ They must bring them to the entrance to the tent of meeting. They must do it in my sight. 24The priest must take the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take it together with the 11 ounces of oil. He must lift all of it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering. 25He must kill the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take some of its blood and put it on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot. 26The priest must pour some of the oil into his own left hand. 27He must dip his right forefinger into the oil in his hand. He must use his finger to sprinkle some of it seven times in front of me. 28Here is what he must do with some of the oil in his hand. He must put it on the same places where he put the blood of the guilt offering. He must put some on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot. 29He must put on their head the rest of the oil in his hand. It will pay for the person’s sin in my sight. 30The priest will sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons that the person can afford. 31One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering. The priest must offer them together with the grain offering. In that way he will pay for the person’s sin in my sight. He will do it to make them ‘clean.’ ”

32These are the rules for anyone who has a skin disease. They are for people who can’t afford the regular offerings that are required to make them “clean.”

Making Things “Clean” From Mold

33The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He told them to say to the people, 34“You will enter the land of Canaan. I am giving it to you as your own. When you enter it, suppose I put mold in one of your houses. And suppose the mold spreads. 35Then the owner of that house must go and speak to the priest. He must say, ‘I’ve seen something that looks like mold in my house.’ 36The priest must order everything to be taken out of the house. It must be done before he goes in to look carefully at the mold. If it is not done, the priest must announce that everything in the house is ‘unclean.’ After the house is empty the priest must go in and check it. 37He must look carefully at the mold on the walls. Suppose it looks as if it has green or red dents in it. And suppose the dents look as if they are behind the surface of the wall. 38Then the priest must go out the door. He must close the house up for seven days. 39On the seventh day the priest will return to check the house. Suppose the mold on the walls has spread. 40Then he must order someone to tear out the stones that have mold on them. He must have them thrown into an ‘unclean’ place outside the town. 41He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped. Everything scraped off must be dumped into an ‘unclean’ place outside the town. 42Then other stones must be put in the place of the stones that had mold on them. The inside walls of the house must be coated with new clay.

43“Suppose the stones have been torn out. The house has been scraped. And the walls have been coated with new clay. But the mold appears again. 44Then the priest must go and look things over carefully. Suppose the mold has spread in the house. Then it is the kind of mold that destroys things. The house is not ‘clean.’ 45It must be torn down. The stones, the wood and all the clay coating must be torn out. All of it must be taken out of the town to an ‘unclean’ place.

46“Suppose someone goes into the house while it is closed up. Then they will be ‘unclean’ until evening. 47If they sleep or eat in the house, they must wash their clothes.

48“But suppose the priest comes to look things over carefully. And suppose the mold has not spread after the walls had been coated with new clay. Then he will announce that the house is ‘clean.’ The mold is gone. 49To make the house pure, the priest must get two birds. He must also get some cedar wood, bright red yarn and branches of a hyssop plant. 50He must kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. 51Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop plant, the bright red yarn and the live bird. He must dip all of them into the blood of the dead bird. He must also dip them into the fresh water. He must sprinkle the house seven times. 52The priest will use the blood and the water to make the house pure. He will use the live bird to make it pure. He will also use the cedar wood, the hyssop plant and the bright red yarn to make it pure. 53Then he must let the live bird go free in the open fields outside the town. In that way he will make the house pure. It will be ‘clean.’ ”

54These are the rules for skin diseases. They apply to sores. 55They apply to mold in clothes or in houses. 56They also apply to swellings, rashes or shiny red spots on the skin. 57Use these rules to decide whether something is “clean” or not.

These are the rules for skin diseases and for mold.

Levítico 14:1-57

A Purificação da Lepra

1Disse também o Senhor a Moisés: 2“Esta é a regulamentação acerca da purificação de um leproso: Ele será levado ao sacerdote, 3que sairá do acampamento e o examinará. Se a pessoa foi curada da lepra14.3 O termo hebraico não se refere somente à lepra, mas também a diversas doenças da pele; também no restante do capítulo., 4o sacerdote ordenará que duas aves puras, vivas, um pedaço de madeira de cedro, um pano vermelho e um ramo de hissopo sejam trazidos em favor daquele que será purificado. 5Então o sacerdote ordenará que uma das aves seja morta numa vasilha de barro com água da fonte. 6Então pegará a ave viva e a molhará, com o pedaço de madeira de cedro, com o pano vermelho e com o ramo de hissopo, no sangue da ave morta em água corrente. 7Sete vezes ele aspergirá aquele que está sendo purificado da lepra e o declarará puro. Depois soltará a ave viva em campo aberto.

8“Aquele que estiver sendo purificado lavará as suas roupas, rapará todos os seus pelos e se banhará com água; e assim estará puro. Depois disso poderá entrar no acampamento, mas ficará fora da sua tenda por sete dias. 9No sétimo dia rapará todos os seus pelos: o cabelo, a barba, as sobrancelhas e o restante dos pelos. Lavará suas roupas e banhará o corpo com água; então ficará puro.

10“No oitavo dia pegará dois cordeiros sem defeito e uma cordeira de um ano sem defeito, com três jarros14.10 Hebraico: 3/10 de efa. O efa era uma medida de capacidade para secos. As estimativas variam entre 20 e 40 litros. da melhor farinha amassada com óleo, como oferta de cereal, e uma caneca14.10 Hebraico: 1 logue. O logue era uma medida de capacidade. As estimativas variam entre 1/4 de litro e 1/2 litro. de óleo. 11O sacerdote que faz a purificação apresentará ao Senhor, à entrada da Tenda do Encontro, tanto aquele que estiver para ser purificado como as suas ofertas.

12“Então o sacerdote pegará um dos cordeiros e o sacrificará como oferta pela culpa, com a caneca de óleo; ele os moverá perante o Senhor como gesto ritual de apresentação e 13matará o cordeiro no Lugar Santo, onde são sacrificados a oferta pelo pecado e o holocausto. Como se dá com a oferta pelo pecado, também a oferta pela culpa pertence ao sacerdote; é santíssima. 14O sacerdote porá um pouco do sangue da oferta pela culpa na ponta da orelha direita daquele que será purificado, no polegar da sua mão direita e no polegar do seu pé direito. 15Então o sacerdote pegará um pouco de óleo da caneca e o derramará na palma da sua própria mão esquerda, 16molhará o dedo direito no óleo que está na palma da mão esquerda e com o dedo o aspergirá sete vezes perante o Senhor. 17O sacerdote ainda porá um pouco do óleo restante na palma da sua mão, na ponta da orelha direita daquele que está sendo purificado, no polegar da sua mão direita e no polegar do seu pé direito, em cima do sangue da oferta pela culpa. 18O óleo que restar na palma da sua mão, o sacerdote derramará sobre a cabeça daquele que está sendo purificado e fará propiciação por ele perante o Senhor.

19“Então o sacerdote sacrificará a oferta pelo pecado e fará propiciação em favor daquele que está sendo purificado da sua impureza. Depois disso, o sacerdote matará o animal do holocausto 20e o oferecerá sobre o altar com a oferta de cereal; e assim fará propiciação pelo ofertante, o qual estará puro.

21“Se, todavia, o ofertante for pobre, sem recursos para isso, pegará um cordeiro como oferta pela culpa, o qual será movido para fazer propiciação pelo ofertante, com um jarro da melhor farinha, amassada com óleo, como oferta de cereal, uma caneca de óleo 22e duas rolinhas ou dois pombinhos, conforme os seus recursos, um como oferta pelo pecado e o outro como holocausto.

23“No oitavo dia o ofertante os trará, para a sua purificação, ao sacerdote, à entrada da Tenda do Encontro, perante o Senhor. 24O sacerdote pegará o cordeiro da oferta pela culpa, com uma caneca de óleo, e os moverá perante o Senhor como gesto ritual de apresentação. 25Matará o cordeiro da oferta pela culpa e pegará um pouco do sangue e o porá na ponta da orelha direita daquele que está sendo purificado, no polegar da sua mão direita e no polegar do seu pé direito. 26O sacerdote derramará um pouco do óleo na palma da sua mão esquerda, 27e com o dedo indicador direito aspergirá um pouco do óleo da palma da sua mão esquerda sete vezes perante o Senhor. 28Ele porá o óleo da palma da sua mão nos mesmos lugares em que pôs o sangue da oferta pela culpa: na ponta da orelha direita daquele que está sendo purificado, no polegar da sua mão direita e no polegar do seu pé direito. 29O que restar do óleo na palma da sua mão, o sacerdote derramará sobre a cabeça daquele que está sendo purificado, para fazer propiciação por ele perante o Senhor. 30Depois sacrificará uma das rolinhas ou um dos pombinhos, conforme os seus recursos, 31um como oferta pelo pecado e o outro como holocausto, com a oferta de cereal. Assim o sacerdote fará propiciação perante o Senhor em favor daquele que está sendo purificado”.

32Essa é a regulamentação para todo aquele que tem lepra e não tem recursos para fazer a oferta da sua purificação.

A Purificação do Mofo

33O Senhor disse a Moisés e a Arão: 34“Quando vocês entrarem na terra de Canaã, que dou a vocês como propriedade, e eu puser mancha de mofo numa casa, na terra que lhes pertence, 35o dono da casa irá ao sacerdote e dirá: Parece-me que há mancha de mofo em minha casa. 36Antes de examinar o mofo, o sacerdote ordenará que desocupem a casa para que nada que houver na casa se torne impuro. Depois disso, o sacerdote irá examinar a casa. 37Examinará as manchas nas paredes e, se elas forem esverdeadas ou avermelhadas e parecerem mais profundas do que a superfície da parede, 38o sacerdote sairá da casa e a deixará fechada por sete dias. 39No sétimo dia voltará para examinar a casa. Se as manchas se houverem espalhado pelas paredes da casa, 40ordenará que as pedras contaminadas pelas manchas sejam retiradas e jogadas num local impuro, fora da cidade. 41Fará que a casa seja raspada por dentro e que o reboco raspado seja jogado num local impuro, fora da cidade. 42Depois colocarão outras pedras no lugar das primeiras e rebocarão a casa com barro novo.

43“Se as manchas tornarem a alastrar-se na casa depois de retiradas as pedras e de raspada e rebocada a casa, 44o sacerdote irá examiná-la e, se as manchas se espalharam pela casa, é mofo corrosivo; a casa está impura. 45Ela terá que ser demolida: as pedras, as madeiras e todo o reboco da casa; tudo será levado para um local impuro, fora da cidade.

46“Quem entrar na casa enquanto estiver fechada estará impuro até a tarde. 47Aquele que dormir ou comer na casa terá que lavar as suas roupas.

48“Mas, se o sacerdote for examiná-la e as manchas não se houverem espalhado depois de rebocada a casa, declarará pura a casa, pois as manchas de mofo desapareceram. 49Para purificar a casa, ele pegará duas aves, um pedaço de madeira de cedro, um pano vermelho e hissopo. 50Depois matará uma das aves numa vasilha de barro com água da fonte. 51Então pegará o pedaço de madeira de cedro, o hissopo, o pano vermelho e a ave viva, e os molhará no sangue da ave morta e na água da fonte, e aspergirá a casa sete vezes. 52Ele purificará a casa com o sangue da ave, com a água da fonte, com a ave viva, com o pedaço de madeira de cedro, com o hissopo e com o pano vermelho. 53Depois soltará a ave viva em campo aberto, fora da cidade. Assim fará propiciação pela casa, e ela ficará pura”.

54Essa é a regulamentação acerca de qualquer tipo de lepra, de sarna, 55de mofo nas roupas ou numa casa 56e de inchaço, erupção ou mancha brilhante, 57para se determinar quando uma coisa é pura ou impura.

Essa é a regulamentação acerca de qualquer tipo de lepra e de mofo.
