New Testament

Leviticus 14:26-35 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

26. The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,

27. and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before the Lord.

28. Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering – on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.

29. The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the Lord.

30. Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,

31. one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.’

32. These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease and who cannot afford the usual offerings for their cleansing.

33. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

34. ‘When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mould in a house in that land,

35. the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, “I have seen something that looks like a defiling mould in my house.”
