This is the law of the leper, in whatever day he may be cleansed; and he shall be brought to the priest
ἐξελεύσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ὄψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἰδοὺ ἰᾶται ἡ ἁφὴ τῆς λέπρας ἀπὸ τοῦ λεπροῦ
And the priest shall go out outside the camp, and the priest shall see, and behold, the plague of the leprosy is being healed from the leper.
προστάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ λήμψονται τῷ κεκαθαρισμένῳ δύο ὀρνίθια ζῶντα καθαρὰ καὶ ξύλον κέδρινον καὶ κεκλωσμένον κόκκινον καὶ ὕσσωπον
and the priest shall command, and they shall take for the one having been cleansed two living clean birds and cedar wood and scarlet yarn and hyssop
And the priest shall command, and they shall slaughter the one bird in an earthen vessel over living water
τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν λήμψεται αὐτὸ καὶ τὸ ξύλον τὸ κέδρινον καὶ τὸ κλωστὸν κόκκινον καὶ τὸν ὕσσωπον καὶ βάψει αὐτὰ καὶ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν εἰς τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ὀρνιθίου τοῦ σφαγέντος ἐφ᾿ ὕδατι ζῶντι
And the live bird he shall take it and the cedar wood and the scarlet thread and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the live bird into the blood of the bird that was slain over living water
περιρρανεῖ ἐπὶ τὸν καθαρισθέντα ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας ἑπτάκις καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται καὶ ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν εἰς τὸ πεδίον
And he shall sprinkle upon the one having been cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and he shall be clean, and he shall send away the living bird into the field
πλυνεῖ ὁ καθαρισθεὶς τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ξυρηθήσεται αὐτοῦ πᾶσαν τὴν τρίχα καὶ λούσεται ἐν ὕδατι καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ διατρίψει ἔξω τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας
And the one being cleansed shall wash his garments, and he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall bathe in water, and he shall be clean; and after these things he shall enter into the camp, and he shall stay outside his house seven days.
ἔσται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ξυρηθήσεται πᾶσαν τὴν τρίχα αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν πώγωνα καὶ τὰς ὀφρύας καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν τρίχα αὐτοῦ ξυρηθήσεται καὶ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λούσεται τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ὕδατι καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται
And it shall be, on the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair, his head and his beard and his eyebrows, and all his hair he shall shave off, and he shall wash his garments and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean.
τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ λήμψεται δύο ἀμνοὺς ἐνιαυσίους ἀμώμους καὶ πρόβατον ἐνιαύσιον ἄμωμον καὶ τρία δέκατα σεμιδάλεως εἰς θυσίαν πεφυραμένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ καὶ κοτύλην ἐλαίου μίαν
And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs a year old without blemish, and one female sheep a year old without blemish, and three tenths of fine flour for a grain offering mixed with oil, and one log of oil
στήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ καθαρίζων τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν καθαριζόμενον καὶ ταῦτα ἔναντι κυρίου ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου
And the priest who is cleansing the man being cleansed shall set him and these things before the Lord at the door of the tent of witness.
λήμψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν ἀμνὸν τὸν ἕνα καὶ προσάξει αὐτὸν τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ τὴν κοτύλην τοῦ ἐλαίου καὶ ἀφοριεῖ αὐτὸ ἀφόρισμα ἔναντι κυρίου
And the priest shall take the one lamb and shall bring it for the offense offering, and the log of oil, and he shall set it apart as a separate portion before the Lord
σφάξουσιν τὸν ἀμνὸν ἐν τόπῳ οὗ σφάζουσιν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ ἔστιν γὰρ τὸ περὶ ἁμαρτίας ὥσπερ τὸ τῆς πλημμελείας ἔστιν τῷ ἱερεῖ ἅγια ἁγίων ἐστίν
And they shall slaughter the lamb in the place where they slaughter the whole burnt offerings and the sin offerings, in a holy place; for the sin offering is like the guilt offering, it is for the priest, holy of holies it is.
λήμψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ
And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and the priest shall put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed and on the tip of the right hand and on the tip of the right foot
And the priest, having taken from the log of the oil, shall pour it upon the left hand of the priest.
βάψει τὸν δάκτυλον τὸν δεξιὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ ὄντος ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς ἀριστερᾶς καὶ ῥανεῖ ἑπτάκις τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔναντι κυρίου
And he shall dip the right finger from the oil that is on the left hand and shall sprinkle seven times with the finger before the Lord
δὲ καταλειφθὲν ἔλαιον τὸ ὂν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας
And the remaining oil that is in the hand the priest shall put on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, and on the tip of the right hand, and on the tip of the right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
δὲ καταλειφθὲν ἔλαιον τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ ἱερέως ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ καθαρισθέντος καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔναντι κυρίου
And the remaining oil that is on the hand of the priest the priest shall put on the head of the one who has been cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord
ποιήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τοῦ ἀκαθάρτου τοῦ καθαριζομένου ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο σφάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα
And the priest shall make the sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the unclean one being cleansed from his sin, and afterward the priest shall slaughter the whole burnt offering
ἀνοίσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ τὴν θυσίαν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ καθαρισθήσεται
And the priest shall offer up the whole burnt offering and the sacrifice upon the altar before the Lord, and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be cleansed.
δὲ πένηται καὶ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ μὴ εὑρίσκῃ λήμψεται ἀμνὸν ἕνα εἰς ὃ ἐπλημμέλησεν εἰς ἀφαίρεμα ὥστε ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ δέκατον σεμιδάλεως πεφυραμένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ εἰς θυσίαν καὶ κοτύλην ἐλαίου μίαν
But if he is poor and his hand does not find, he shall take one lamb for what he has trespassed, for a removal, so as to make atonement for him, and one tenth of fine flour mixed with oil for a sacrifice, and one log of oil.
δύο τρυγόνας ἢ δύο νεοσσοὺς περιστερῶν ὅσα εὗρεν ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται ἡ μία περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἡ μία εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα
and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, as much as his hand found, and the one shall be for sin offering and the one for a whole burnt offering
προσοίσει αὐτὰ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ εἰς τὸ καθαρίσαι αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἔναντι κυρίου
And he shall bring them on the eighth day, for his cleansing, to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of testimony, before the Lord.
λαβὼν ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸν ἀμνὸν τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ τὴν κοτύλην τοῦ ἐλαίου ἐπιθήσει αὐτὰ ἐπίθεμα ἔναντι κυρίου
And the priest, having taken the ram of the trespass offering and the log of the oil, shall place them as a special offering before the Lord
σφάξει τὸν ἀμνὸν τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ λήμψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας καὶ ἐπιθήσει ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς τοῦ δεξιοῦ
And he shall slaughter the ram of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt-offering and shall put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, and on the tip of the right hand, and on the tip of the right foot
And from the oil the priest shall pour onto the priest’s left hand.
ῥανεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τῷ δακτύλῳ τῷ δεξιῷ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τῇ ἀριστερᾷ ἑπτάκις ἔναντι κυρίου
And the priest shall sprinkle with the right finger from the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord
ἐπιθήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν λοβὸν τοῦ ὠτὸς τοῦ καθαριζομένου τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ ποδὸς αὐτοῦ τοῦ δεξιοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ τῆς πλημμελείας
And the priest shall put some of the oil that is on his hand on the lobe of the ear of the one being cleansed, the right one, and on the tip of his right hand, and on the tip of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering
δὲ καταλειφθὲν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐλαίου τὸ ὂν ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ ἱερέως ἐπιθήσει ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ καθαρισθέντος καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔναντι κυρίου
And the remainder from the oil, that which is on the hand of the priest, he shall put on the head of the one who has been cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord
and he shall make one of the turtledoves or from the young of the pigeons, according as his hand found it
μίαν περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ τὴν μίαν εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα σὺν τῇ θυσίᾳ καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τοῦ καθαριζομένου ἔναντι κυρίου
the one for sin and the one for a whole burnt offering, together with the sacrifice, and the priest shall make atonement for the one being cleansed before the Lord
This is the law in which is the affliction of leprosy and of him who does not find with his hand for his cleansing
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying
ἂν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων ἣν ἐγὼ δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἐν κτήσει καὶ δώσω ἁφὴν λέπρας ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις τῆς γῆς τῆς ἐγκτήτου ὑμῖν
When you enter into the land of the Canaanites, which I am giving to you as a possession, and I will give a touch of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession.
and the one whose house it is shall come and report to the priest, saying, Like a mark has appeared to me in the house
προστάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀποσκευάσαι τὴν οἰκίαν πρὸ τοῦ εἰσελθόντα ἰδεῖν τὸν ἱερέα τὴν ἁφὴν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκάθαρτα γένηται ὅσα ἐὰν ᾖ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καταμαθεῖν τὴν οἰκίαν
And the priest shall order the house to be emptied before the priest enters to see the infection, and all that may be in the house shall not become unclean; and after these things the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
ὄψεται τὴν ἁφὴν ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις τῆς οἰκίας κοιλάδας χλωριζούσας ἢ πυρριζούσας καὶ ἡ ὄψις αὐτῶν ταπεινοτέρα τῶν τοίχων
and he shall see the mark in the walls of the house, hollow places being greenish or reddish, and their appearance lower than the walls
And the priest shall go out from the house to the door of the house, and the priest shall isolate the house for seven days.
ἐπανήξει ὁ ἱερεὺς τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ ὄψεται τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐ διεχύθη ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τοῖς τοίχοις τῆς οἰκίας
And the priest shall come back on the seventh day and shall see the house, and behold, the spreading has not spread in the walls of the house.
προστάξει ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἐξελοῦσιν τοὺς λίθους ἐν οἷς ἐστιν ἡ ἁφή καὶ ἐκβαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς τόπον ἀκάθαρτον
And the priest shall give orders, and they shall remove the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them outside the city into an unclean place.
And they shall scrape the house inside all around, and they shall pour out the dust outside the city into an unclean place.
λήμψονται λίθους ἀπεξυσμένους ἑτέρους καὶ ἀντιθήσουσιν ἀντὶ τῶν λίθων καὶ χοῦν ἕτερον λήμψονται καὶ ἐξαλείψουσιν τὴν οἰκίαν
And they shall take other scraped stones and shall set them in place of the stones, and they shall take other plaster and shall plaster the house.
δὲ ἐπέλθῃ πάλιν ἁφὴ καὶ ἀνατείλῃ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μετὰ τὸ ἐξελεῖν τοὺς λίθους καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀποξυσθῆναι τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι
But if the plague comes again and rises in the house after the stones have been taken out and after the house has been scraped and after it has been plastered
εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ὄψεται εἰ διακέχυται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ λέπρα ἔμμονός ἐστιν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἀκάθαρτός ἐστιν
And the priest shall go in and shall see whether the mark has spread in the house; it is a persistent leprosy in the house, it is unclean.
καθελοῦσιν τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς λίθους αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα τὸν χοῦν ἐξοίσουσιν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς τόπον ἀκάθαρτον
And they shall tear down the house and its timbers and its stones and all the dust of it, and they shall carry out outside the city to an unclean place.
And he who enters into the house all the days during which it is set apart shall be unclean until evening
ὁ κοιμώμενος ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ὁ ἔσθων ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας
And the one sleeping in the house shall wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening; and the one eating in the house shall wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening
δὲ παραγενόμενος εἰσέλθῃ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἴδῃ καὶ ἰδοὺ διαχύσει οὐ διαχεῖται ἡ ἁφὴ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μετὰ τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ καθαριεῖ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν οἰκίαν ὅτι ἰάθη ἡ ἁφή
But if the priest, having come, enters and sees, and behold, the infection has not spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall cleanse the house, because the infection has been healed.
λήμψεται ἀφαγνίσαι τὴν οἰκίαν δύο ὀρνίθια ζῶντα καθαρὰ καὶ ξύλον κέδρινον καὶ κεκλωσμένον κόκκινον καὶ ὕσσωπον
And he shall take, to cleanse the house, two living clean birds and cedar wood and scarlet yarn and hyssop.
And he shall slaughter the one bird into an earthen vessel over running water.
λήμψεται τὸ ξύλον τὸ κέδρινον καὶ τὸ κεκλωσμένον κόκκινον καὶ τὸν ὕσσωπον καὶ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν καὶ βάψει αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ αἷμα τοῦ ὀρνιθίου τοῦ ἐσφαγμένου ἐφ᾿ ὕδατι ζῶντι καὶ περιρρανεῖ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν ἑπτάκις
And he shall take the cedar wood and the twisted scarlet and the hyssop and the living bird, and he shall dip it into the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over living water, and he shall sprinkle the house with them seven times
ἀφαγνιεῖ τὴν οἰκίαν ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ὀρνιθίου καὶ ἐν τῷ ὕδατι τῷ ζῶντι καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀρνιθίῳ τῷ ζῶντι καὶ ἐν τῷ ξύλῳ τῷ κεδρίνῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ ὑσσώπῳ καὶ ἐν τῷ κεκλωσμένῳ κοκκίνῳ
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 yarn.
ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸ ὀρνίθιον τὸ ζῶν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως εἰς τὸ πεδίον καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ τῆς οἰκίας καὶ καθαρὰ ἔσται
And he shall send the living bird away outside the city into the field, and he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
This is the law for every case of leprosy and for a scab
and of the leprosy of a garment and of a house
and of a scar, and of a mark, and of what shines forth
and to explain on what day unclean and on what day he shall be cleansed: this is the law of the leprosy
