18. The rest of the oil in his hand the priest shall put on the head of the one being purified. Thus shall the priest make atonement for the individual before the Lord.
19. The priest shall next offer the purification offering, thus making atonement on behalf of the one being purified from the uncleanness. After this the burnt offering shall be slaughtered.
20. The priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar before the Lord. Thus shall the priest make atonement for the person, and the individual will become clean.
21. If a person is poor and cannot afford so much, that person shall take one male lamb for a reparation offering, to be used as an elevated offering in atonement, one tenth of an ephah of bran flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, a log of oil,
22. and two turtledoves or pigeons, which the individual can more easily afford, the one as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering.
23. On the eighth day of purification the person shall bring them to the priest, at the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord.
24. Taking the lamb of the reparation offering, along with the log of oil, the priest shall raise them as an elevated offering before the Lord.
25. When the lamb of the reparation offering has been slaughtered, the priest shall take some of its blood, and put it on the lobe of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
26. The priest shall then pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand
27. and with his right finger sprinkle some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the Lord.
28. Some of the oil in his hand the priest shall also put on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified, where he had sprinkled the blood of the reparation offering.
29. The rest of the oil in his hand the priest shall put on the head of the one being purified. Thus shall he make atonement for the individual before the Lord.
30. Then, of the turtledoves or pigeons, such as the person can afford,
31. the priest shall offer one as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering, along with the grain offering. Thus shall the priest make atonement before the Lord for the person who is being purified.
32. This is the ritual for one afflicted with a scaly infection who has insufficient means for purification.
33. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
34. When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you to possess, if I put a fungal infection in any house of the land you occupy,
35. the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, “Something like an infection has appeared in my house.”
36. The priest shall then order the house to be cleared out before he goes in to examine the infection, lest everything in the house become unclean. Only after this is he to go in to examine the house.
37. If the priest, upon inspection, finds that the infection on the walls of the house consists of greenish or reddish spots which seem to go deeper than the surface of the wall,
