Leviticus 14:30-49
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
30He shall then offer one of the turtledoves or young doves, which are within his means. 31He shall offer what he can afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed. 32This is the law for him in whom there is an infection of leprosy, whose means are limited for his cleansing.'
34When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as a possession, and I put a spot of leprosy on a house in the land of your possession,
35then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘ Something like a spot of leprosy has become visible to me in the house.’
36The priest shall then command that they empty the house before the priest goes in to look at the spot, so that everything in the house need not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to look at the house.
37So he shall look at the spot, and if the spot on the walls of the house has greenish or reddish depressions and appears deeper than the surface,
38the priest shall come out of the house, to the doorway, and quarantine the house for seven days.
39Then the priest shall return on the seventh day and make an inspection. If the spot has indeed spread on the walls of the house,
40the priest shall order them to pull out the stones with the spot on them and throw them away at an unclean place outside the city.
41And he shall have the house scraped all around inside, and they shall dump the plaster that they scrape off at an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they shall take other stones and replace the discarded stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.
43If, however, the spot breaks out again in the house after he has pulled out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,
44then the priest shall come in and make an inspection. If he sees that the spot has indeed spread in the house, it is a malignant spot in the house; it is unclean.
45The owner shall therefore tear down the house, its stones, its timbers, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.
46Moreover, whoever goes into the house during the time that he has quarantined it, becomes unclean until evening.
47Likewise, whoever lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48If, on the other hand, the priest comes in and makes an inspection and the spot has not indeed spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the spot has not reappeared.
49To cleanse the house then, he shall take two birds, cedar wood, a scarlet string, and hyssop,
King James Version
Chapter 14
30And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 31Even 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. 32This 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. 33And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 34When 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; 35And 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: 36Then 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: 37And 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; 38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: 39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; 40Then 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: 41And 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: 42And 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.
43And 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;
44Then 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.
45And 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.
46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
48And 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.
49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

30He is to then sacrifice one type of what he can afford, either the turtledoves or young pigeons, 31one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, sacrificing what he can afford together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord for the one to be cleansed. 32This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing."
33The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
34"When you enter the land of Canaan that I am giving you as a possession, and I place a mildew contamination in a house in the land you possess,
35the owner of the house is to come and tell the priest: Something like mildew contamination has appeared in my house.
36The priest must order them to clear the house before he enters to examine the contamination, so that nothing in the house becomes unclean. Afterward the priest will come to examine the house.
37He will examine it, and if the contamination in the walls of the house consists of green or red indentations that appear to be beneath the surface of the wall,
38the priest is to go outside the house to its doorway and quarantine the house for seven days.
39The priest is to return on the seventh day and examine it. If the contamination has spread on the walls of the house,
40the priest must order that the stones with the contamination be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.
41He is to have the inside of the house completely scraped, and have the plaster that is scraped off dumped in an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they are to take different stones to replace the former ones and take additional plaster to replaster the house.
43"If the contamination reappears in the house after the stones have been pulled out, and after the house has been scraped and replastered,
44the priest is to come and examine it. If the contamination has spread in the house, it is harmful mildew; the house is unclean.
45It must be torn down with its stones, its beams, and all its plaster, and taken outside the city to an unclean place.
46Whoever enters the house during any of the days the priest quarantines it will be unclean until evening.
47Whoever lies down in the house is to wash his clothes, and whoever eats in it is to wash his clothes.
New Living Translation
Chapter 14
30Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. 31One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the Lord. 32These are the instructions for purification for those who have recovered from a serious skin disease but who cannot afford to bring the offerings normally required for the ceremony of purification.'
33Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
34When you arrive in Canaan, the land I am giving you as your own possession, I may contaminate some of the houses in your land with mildew.
35The owner of such a house must then go to the priest and say, ‘It appears that my house has some kind of mildew.’
36Before the priest goes in to inspect the house, he must have the house emptied so nothing inside will be pronounced ceremonially unclean.
37Then the priest will go in and examine the mildew on the walls. If he finds greenish or reddish streaks and the contamination appears to go deeper than the wall’s surface,
38the priest will step outside the door and put the house in quarantine for seven days.
39On the seventh day the priest must return for another inspection. If he finds that the mildew on the walls of the house has spread,
40the priest must order that the stones from those areas be removed. The contaminated material will then be taken outside the town to an area designated as ceremonially unclean.
41Next the inside walls of the entire house must be scraped thoroughly and the scrapings dumped in the unclean place outside the town.
42Other stones will be brought in to replace the ones that were removed, and the walls will be replastered.
43But if the mildew reappears after all the stones have been replaced and the house has been scraped and replastered,
44the priest must return and inspect the house again. If he finds that the mildew has spread, the walls are clearly contaminated with a serious mildew, and the house is defiled.
45It must be torn down, and all its stones, timbers, and plaster must be carried out of town to the place designated as ceremonially unclean.
46Those who enter the house during the period of quarantine will be ceremonially unclean until evening,
47and all who sleep or eat in the house must wash their clothing.
48But if the priest returns for his inspection and finds that the mildew has not reappeared in the house after the fresh plastering, he will pronounce it clean because the mildew is clearly gone.
49To purify the house the priest must take two birds, a stick of cedar, some scarlet yarn, and a hyssop branch.

Chapter 14
30And he shall offer, of the turtledoves or pigeons, whichever he can afford, 31one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, along with a grain offering. And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for him who is being cleansed. 32This is the law for him in whom is a case of leprous disease, who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing."
33The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
34"When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a case of leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession,
35then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘There seems to me to be some case of disease in my house.’
36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all that is in the house be declared unclean. And afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.
37And he shall examine the disease. And if the disease is in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots, and if it appears to be deeper than the surface,
38then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days.
39And the priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the disease has spread in the walls of the house,
40then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the disease and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.
41And he shall have the inside of the house scraped all around, and the plaster that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house.
43"If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it,
44then the priest shall go and look. And if the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprous disease in the house; it is unclean.
45And he shall break down the house, its stones and timber and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city to an unclean place.
46Moreover, whoever enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening,
47and whoever sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48"But if the priest comes and looks, and if the disease has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the disease is healed.
49And for the cleansing of the house he shall take two small birds, with cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop,

30Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford, 31one 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."
33The 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 mold in a house in that land,
35the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’
36The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house.
37He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,
38the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.
39On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls,
40he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.
41He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town.
42Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.
43"If the defiling mold reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered,
44the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mold has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mold; the house is unclean.
45It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place.
New King James Version
Chapter 14
30And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he can afford— 31such as he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the Lord. 32This is the law for one who had a leprous sore, who cannot afford the usual cleansing.”
33And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
34“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and I put the leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession,
35and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is some plague in the house,’
36then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house.
37And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be deep in the wall,
38then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
39And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house,
40then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city.
41And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.
43“Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered,
44then the priest shall come and look; and indeed if the plague has spread in the house, it is an active leprosy in the house. It is unclean.
45And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place.
46Moreover he who goes into the house at all while it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.
47And he who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
