Sinai & The Law

and he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague is in the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red, and their appearance is lower than the wall,

and the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days.

`And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

and the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague is , and have cast them unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place;

and the house he doth cause to be scraped within round about, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;

and they have taken other stones, and brought them in unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath daubed the house.

`And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the daubing;

then hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the house; it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

`And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought them forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place.

`And he who is going in unto the house all the days he hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening;

and he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments; and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments.

`And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean, for the plague hath been healed.

`And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

and he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath sprinkled upon the house seven times.

`And he hath cleansed 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;

and he hath sent away the living bird unto the outside of the city unto the face of the field, and hath made atonement for the house, and it hath been clean.

`This is the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scall,

and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot, --

to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this is the law of the leprosy.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and ye have said unto them, When there is an issue out of the flesh of any man, for his issue he is unclean;

and this is his uncleanness in his issue--his flesh hath run with his issue, or his flesh hath stopped from his issue; it is his uncleanness.

`All the bed on which he lieth who hath the issue is unclean, and all the vessel on which he sitteth is unclean;
