Numbers 11

1 ତା'ପରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଅଭିଯୋଗ କରିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାହା ଶୁଣିବାରୁ ତାଙ୍କର କୋରଧ ପ୍ରଜ୍ବଳିତ ହେଲା। ତହିଁରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଅଗ୍ନି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମଧିଅରେ ପ୍ରଜ୍ବଳିତ ହାଇେ ଛାଉଣୀର ପ୍ରାନ୍ତଭାଗ ଗ୍ରାସ କଲା।

2 ତେଣୁ ଲୋକମାନେ ମାଶାଙ୍କେ ନିକଟରେ ସାହାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ କ୍ରନ୍ଦନ କଲେ। ତହୁଁ ମାଶାେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରନ୍ତେ ସହେି ଅଗ୍ନି ଥମିଗଲା।

3 ତେଣୁ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନର ନାମ ତବିଯରୋ ହେଲା କାରଣ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଅଗ୍ନି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମଧିଅରେ ଦହନ କଲା।

4 ତା'ପରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଅସୁବିଧା ସୃଷ୍ଟିକାରୀଗଣଙ୍କର ଉତ୍ତମ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଖାଇବାକୁ ପ୍ରବଳଇଚ୍ଛା ହେଲା। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ୟୋଗ ଦେଲେ ଏବଂ ପାଟି କଲେ, କିଏ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାଂସ ଖାଇବାକୁ ଦବେ?

5 ଆମ୍ଭେ ମାନେ ମିଶର ଦେଶ ରେ ବିନା ମୂଲ୍ଯ ରେ ଯେଉଁ ମାଛ ଖାଉଥିଲୁ, ତାହା ମନେ ପଡେ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ମଧ୍ଯ ଉତ୍ତମ ପନିପରିବା ଯଥା: କାକୁଡି, ତରଭୁଜ, ପିଆଜ ଓ ରସୁଣ କଥା ମନେ ପଡେ।

6 ମାତ୍ର ଏବେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଦୁର୍ବଳ ହାଇେ ଯାଉଅଛୁ, ଏଠି ଖାଇବାକୁ କିଛି ନାହିଁ, ଏହି ମାନ୍ନା ଛଡା ଆଉ ଦେଖିବାକୁ କିଛି ନାହିଁ,।

7 ଆଉ ସହେି ମାନ୍ନା ଧନିଆ ବୀଜଗୁଡିକ ସଦୃଶ ହବେ।

8 ଲୋକମାନେ ଏଣେ ତଣେେ ବୁଲି ମାନ୍ନା ସଂଗ୍ରହ କଲେ, ଚକି ରେ ତାକୁ ପଷେିଲେ, କିମ୍ବା କୁଟଣୀ ରେ ତାହା ଚୂର୍ଣ କରି କରଇେ ରେ ସିଦ୍ଧକରି ପିଠା ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କଲେ, ଆଉ ଜୀତ ତୈଳ ରେ ପକ୍ବ ପିଠାପରି ତା'ର ସ୍ବାଦ ହେଲା।

9 ରାତ୍ରି ରେ ଛାଉଣୀ ଉପରେ କାକର ପଡିଲା ବେଳେ ତା ସହିତ ମାନ୍ନା ଝଡିଲା।

10 ଏହାପରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ସମୁଦାଯ ପରିବାର ସହିତ ନିଜନିଜ ତମ୍ବୁଦ୍ବାରା ନିକଟରେ ରୋଦନ କରିବାର ମାଶାେ ଶୁଣିଲେ; ତହିଁରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର କୋରଧ ଅତିଶଯ ପ୍ରଜ୍ବଳିତ ହେଲା। ଆଉ ମଧ୍ଯ ମାଶାେ ଅସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟ ହେଲେ।

11 ତହୁଁ ମାଶାେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କାହିଁକି ଆପଣା ଦାସ ପ୍ରତି ଅସୁବିଧା କରୁଛ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ କାହିଁକି ମାେ ଉପରେ କୋର୍ଧ ଦଖାେଉଛ? କାହିଁକି ଆପଣା ମାେ ଉପରେ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ଭାର ଦେଉଅଛ?

12 କ'ଣ ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ମାଠାରୁେ ଜନ୍ମ ହାଇେଛନ୍ତି? ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଯେଉଁ ଦେଶ ବିଷଯ ରେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଥିଲ ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଶିଶୁ ପରି କ'ଣ ବୋହି ନବେି?

13 ମୁଁ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ମାଂସ ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ କେଉଁଠା ରେ ପାଇବି? କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ମାେ ନିକଟରେ କାନ୍ଦି କହୁଛନ୍ତି, ସମାନେେ ପାଟି କରନ୍ତି, 'ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାଂସ ଦିଅ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାଂସ ଦିଅ।'

14 ମୁଁ ଏକାକୀ ଏତେ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ଭାର ବହନ କରିପାରିବି ନାହିଁ, କାରଣ ଏହା ମାେ ପାଇଁ ଅସହ୍ଯ ଅଟେ।

15 ଆଉ ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ଏପରି ପଥରେ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିବାକୁ ଯାଉଅଛ, ତବେେ ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛି, ମୁଁ ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହର ପାତ୍ର, ତବେେ ମାେତେ ମାରିଦିଅ ପେଛ, ଏପରି ଦୁର୍ଗତି ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ।

16 ଅନନ୍ତର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଏପରି ସତୁରି ଜଣ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଡାକ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସମାଗମ ତମ୍ବୁ ନିକଟକୁ ଆଣ। ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଛିଡା ହବୋ ଉଚିତ୍।

17 ମୁଁ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ଆସି ତୁମ୍ଭ ସଙ୍ଗେ କଥା କହିବି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭଠା ରେ ଯେଉଁ ଆତ୍ମା ଅଛି ତହିଁରୁ ନଇେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଦବୋ, ତହିଁରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେପରି ଏକାକୀ ଭାର ବହନ କରିବନାହିଁ, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ସମାନେେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଦାଯିତ୍ବ ଭାର ବହନ କରିବେ।

18 ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କୁହ, କାଲିପାଇଁ ନିଜକୁ ପବିତ୍ର କର। ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାଂସ ଖାଇବ, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଗୋଚର ରେ କହିଅଛ, 'କିଏ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାଂସ ଖାଇବାକୁ ଦବେ? ବରଂ ମିଶର ଦେଶ ରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ମଙ୍ଗଳ ଥିଲା!' ଏଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାଂସ ଖାଇବାକୁ ଦବେେ।

19 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଦିନେ କି ଦୁଇଦିନ କି ପାଞ୍ଚଦିନ କି ଦଶଦିନ କି କୋଡିଏ ଦିନ ଖାଇବ ତାହା ନୁହେଁ।

20 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଏକମାସ ମାଂସ ଭକ୍ଷଣ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାଂସକୁ ଭକ୍ଷଣ କରିବ, ଘୃଣା ଯୋଗ୍ଯ ନ ହବୋ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ। ଆଉ ଯେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନାସିକାରୁ ନିର୍ଗତ ନହୁଏ। କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତ୍ଯାଖ୍ଯାନ କରିଛ, ୟିଏ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଆପତ୍ତି କରିବ ଏହା କହି, 'ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ କାହିଁକି ମିଶରରୁ ବାହାରି ଆସିଲୁ?'

21 ତବେେ ମାଶାେ କହିଲେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୁଁ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ଅଛି ସମାନେେ ଛଅ ଲକ୍ଷ ପଦାତିକ। ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭେ କହୁଅଛ, 'ଆମ୍ଭେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମାଂସ ଦବୋ, ସମାନେେ ତାହା ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ ଏକ ମାସ ଖାଇବେ!'

22 ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଯୋଗଇବାପାଇଁ ପଲ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ସମସ୍ତ ଗୋମଷେ ବଧ କଲେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଏକମାସ ପାଇଁ ଅଣ୍ଟିବ ନାହିଁ। ଆଉ ସମୁଦ୍ରର ସମସ୍ତ ମାଛ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ନୁହେଁ!

23 ତହୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, କ'ଣ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତି ସିମୀତ? ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଦେଖିବ, ଯଦି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତି ସତ ହବେ।

24 ତବେେ ମାଶାେ ବାହାରକୁ ୟାଇ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଯାହା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଥିଲେ। ପୁଣି ସେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ପ୍ରାଚୀନବର୍ଗ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ସତୁରି ଜଣଙ୍କୁ ଏକତ୍ର କରି ତମ୍ବୁର ଚତୁର୍ଦ୍ଦିଗ ରେ ଛିଡା କରାଇଲେ।

25 ତା'ପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମେଘରୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ଆଉ ଯେଉଁ ଆତ୍ମା ତାଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଥିଲା, ତହିଁରୁ ନଇେ ସତୁରି ପ୍ରାଚୀନବର୍ଗଙ୍କୁ ଦେଲେ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ ଆତ୍ମା ଅବସ୍ଥାନ କଲା, ସମାନେେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ କଥା ପ୍ରଚାର ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲେ, ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ଆଉ ବନ୍ଦ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।

26 ମାତ୍ର ଛାଉଣୀ ମଧିଅରେ ଦୁଇଜଣ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ଇଲଦଦ୍ ଓ ମଦେଦ୍ ରହିଲେ, ଯଦିଓ ସମାନେେ ତାଲିକା ରେ ଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ତମ୍ବୁ ବାହାରକୁ ଆସି ନ ଥିଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ ସହେି ଆତ୍ମା ଅବସ୍ଥାନ କଲା ଓ ସମାନେେ ଛାଉଣୀ ମଧିଅରେ ରହି ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ କଥା ପ୍ରଚାର ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲେ।

27 ତହୁଁ ଜଣେ ୟୁବକ ଦୌଡି ୟାଇ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲା, ଇଲଦଦ୍ ଓ ମଦେଦ୍ ଛାଉଣୀ ଭିତ ରେ ରହି ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ କଥା ପ୍ରଚାର କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି।

28 ତହିଁରେ ନୂନର ପୁତ୍ର ଯିହାଶୂେୟ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ମାହେର ମୁନିବ ମାଶାେ, ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସ୍ଥଗିତ କରନ୍ତୁ। ୟିହୋଶୂଯ ୟୁବକ ସମୟରୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେର ଜଣେ ମନୋନୀତ ସହକାରୀ ଥିଲେ।

29 ମାଶାେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ସକାଶୁ କ'ଣ ଈର୍ଷା କରୁଅଛୁ? ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବାଣୀ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ ଆପଣା ଆତ୍ମା ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।

30 ଏହାପରେ ମାଶାେ ଓ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ପ୍ରାଚୀନଗଣ ଛାଉଣୀକି ଗମନ କଲେ।

31 ଅନନ୍ତର ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟରୁ ବାଯୁ ବହିଲା ଓ ତାହା ସମୁଦ୍ରରୁ ଭଟୋଇ ପକ୍ଷୀ ଆଣିଲା। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସଂଖ୍ଯା ଏତେ ଅଧିକ ହେଲା ଯେ ସମାନେେ ଛାଉଣୀର ଚତୁର୍ବ୍ଦିଗ ରେ ଏପାଖେ ଦିନକର ପଥ ଓ ସେ ପାଖେ ଦିନକର ପଥ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବ୍ଯାପି ରହିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଭୂମିଠାରୁ ପ୍ରାଯ ଦୁଇ ପୁଟ ବହଳ ରେ ଗଦା ହଇେ ଗଲେ।

32 ତହିଁରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଛିଡା ହାଇେ ସହେି ସମସ୍ତ ଦିବାରାତ୍ର ଓ ପରଦିନ ସମସ୍ତ ଦିବସ ସହେି ଭାଟୋଇ ପକ୍ଷୀ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କଲେ। କହେି ଦଶ ବୁଶଲରେୁ ଊଣା ସଂଗ୍ରହ କଲାନାହିଁ। ଆଉ ସମାନେେ ନିଜପାଇଁ ଛାଉଣୀର ଚାରିଆଡେ ତାହା ବିଛାଇ ରଖିଲେ।

33 ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଦନ୍ତ ମଧିଅରେ ମାଂସ ଥିଲା ବେଳେ ତାହା ଚର୍ବଣ କରିବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ କୋର୍ଧ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପରେ ପ୍ରଜ୍ବଳିତ ହେଲା। ତହୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମହାମାରୀ ରେ ସଂହାର କଲେ ଓ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ସମାନେେ କବର ନେଲେ।

34 ତେଣୁ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନର ନାମ କିବ୍ରୋତ୍-ହତ୍ତାବା ହେଲା। କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଲୋଭୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ କବର ଦେଲେ।

35 ଲୋକମାନେ କିବ୍ରୋତ-ହତ୍ତାବାଠାରୁ ହତ ସରେୋତକୁ ୟାତ୍ରା କରି ସହେିଠା ରେ ରହିଲେ।

1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.

3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.

7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

11 And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.

22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?

23 And the Lord said unto Moses, Is the Lord’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.

25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!

30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.

34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

35 And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:

3 And 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;

4 Then 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:

5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

6 As 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:

7 And 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.

8 And 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.

9 But 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.

10 And 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.

11 And 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:

12 And 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:

13 And 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:

14 And 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:

15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:

16 And 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:

17 And 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:

18 And 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.

19 And 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:

20 And 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.

21 And 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;

22 And 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.

23 And 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.

24 And 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:

25 And 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:

26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:

27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord:

28 And 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:

29 And 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.

30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;

31 Even 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.

32 This 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,

34 When 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;

35 And 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:

36 Then 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:

37 And 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;

38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

40 Then 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:

41 And 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:

42 And 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.

43 And 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;

44 Then 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.

45 And 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.

46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 And 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.

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

51 And 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:

52 And 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:

53 But 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.

54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
