an old leprosy, it is in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, - he shall not shut him up, for unclean, he is.

But, if the leprosy, cometh quite out, in the skin, and the leprosy covereth all the skin of him that, is plagued, from his head even unto his feet, - so far as appeareth to the eyes of the priest,

then shall the priest takes view and lo! if the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, then shall he pronounce clean him that was plagued, - all of it, hath turned white, clean, he is.

then shall the priest view the scall, on the seventh day, and lo! if the sea hath not spread in the skin, and, the appearance thereof, is not deeper than the skin, then shall the priest pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

But, if in his eyes, the scall is at a stay, and dark hair hath grown up therein, the scall is healed, clean, he is, - and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

And if, in front, his head loseth its hair, though bald in the forehead, he is, clean.

But, should there be, in the baldness behind, or in the baldness in front, a spot that is reddish white, leprosy broken out, it is, in his baldness behind, or in his baldness in front.

So the priest shall view it, and lo! if, the rising-spot, be reddish white in his baldness behind or in his baldness in front, - like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,

a leprous man, is he, unclean, he is, - unclean, shall the priest pronounce him in his head, is his plague.

Now, as for the leper in whom is the plague, His clothes, shall be rent, And, his head, shall be bare, And, his beard, shall he cover, - And, Unclean! Unclean! shall he cry.

All the days that the plague is in him, shall he continue unclean, Unclean, he is, - Alone, shall he remain, Outside the camp, shall be his dwelling.

And he that is to be declared clean shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and bathe in water, and be clean, and, afterwards, shall he come into the camp, - and dwell outside his tent, seven days;

and it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave off all the hair of his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair, shall he shave off, - and shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water so shall he be clean.

Then shall the priest take of the blood of the guilt-bearer, 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;

and the priest shall dip his right finger and take of the oil that is on the palm of his left hand, - and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh:

and of the remainder of the oil which is on the palm of 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-bearer;

Then shall the priest offer the sin-bearer, and shall put a propitiatory-covering over him that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness, - and, afterwards, shall he slay the ascending-sacrifice.

But if he be poor and his hand hath not enough, then shall he take one he-lamb as a guilt-bearer to be waved to put a propitiatory-covering over him, - and one-tenth of fine meal, overflowed with oil for a meal-offering, and a log of oil,

and two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, for which his hand hath enough, - so shall one be a sin-bearer, and the other an ascending-sacrifice.

And he shall bring them in on the eighth day, for his cleansing, unto the priest, - unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh.
