And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

This shall be the instruction for the one with skin-disease on the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought to the priest,

and the priest shall go out to the outside of the camp, and the priest shall see, and behold, the affliction of skin-disease has been healed from the afflicted person.

Then the priest shall command, and for the one being cleansed there shall be taken two live clean birds, and cedar wood and scarlet yarn and hyssop. And the priest shall command, and one bird shall be slaughtered in an earthenware vessel over fresh water.

As for the live bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood and the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water. And he shall sprinkle on the one being cleansed from the skin-disease seven times, and he shall declare him clean; and he shall send the live bird into the open field. And the one being cleansed shall wash his garments and shave off all his hair and bathe in water and shall be clean; and afterward he shall come into the camp and shall remain outside his tent seven days. And it shall be on the seventh day: he shall shave all his hair—his head and his beard and his eyebrows; all his hair he shall shave—and he shall wash his garments and wash his body in water and shall be clean. And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a grain-offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. And the priest who cleanses shall set the man being cleansed and them before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the priest shall take one of the male lambs and present it for a guilt-offering, and the log of oil; and he shall wave them as a wave-offering before the LORD. And he shall slaughter the male lamb in the place where they slaughter the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering, the guilt-offering is the priest’s; it is most holy. And the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, 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 log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is on his left palm, and he shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. And of the rest of the oil that is on his palm the priest shall put on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt-offering. And the remainder of the oil that is in the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one being cleansed; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD. And the priest shall offer the sin-offering and make atonement for the one being cleansed from his impurity; and afterward he shall slaughter the burnt-offering. And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the grain-offering on the altar; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. But if he is poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb for a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain-offering, and one log of oil;

and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he can afford; and one shall be a sin-offering and the other a burnt-offering. And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, before the LORD. And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt-offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave-offering before the LORD. And he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt-offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand. And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is on his left palm seven times before the LORD. And the priest shall put some of the oil that is on his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one being cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering. And the remainder of the oil that is in the priest’s palm he shall put on the head of the one being cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD. And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, such as he can afford.

Such as he can afford—the one for a sin-offering and the other for a burnt-offering—together with the grain-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for the one being cleansed before the LORD.

This is the instruction for the one in whom there is an affliction of skin-disease, whose means do not suffice for his cleansing.
