Leviticus 14:23-34 God's Word Translation (GW)

23. On the eighth day he will take them to the priest for his cleansing at the entrance to the tent of meeting in the Lord’s presence.

24. The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering and the quart of olive oil and present them to the Lord.

25. He will slaughter the lamb as a guilt offering. Then the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed.

26. The priest will pour some of the olive oil into his own left hand.

27. With his right finger he will sprinkle some of the oil seven times in the Lord’s presence.

28. The priest will put some of the oil that is in his hand on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed. These are the same places he had put the blood of the guilt offering.

29. In the Lord’s presence, the priest will pour the rest of the oil in his hand on the head of the one to be cleansed in order to make a payment for him.

30. Then the one to be cleansed must take one of the mourning doves or pigeons (whichever he can afford),

31. and sacrifice it as an offering for sin. He will take the other and sacrifice it as a burnt offering together with the grain offering. So in the Lord’s presence the priest will make peace with the Lord for the one who is being cleansed.

32. These are the instructions for one who has an infectious skin disease but cannot afford what is needed for his cleansing.”

33. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,

34. “When you come to Canaan that I am going to give to you, mildew may appear in a house.
