And the LORD spake Unto Moses and said: speak unto the children of
Israel and say: when a woman hath conceived and hath borne a man child,
she shall be unclean seven days: even in like manner as when she is put
apart in time of her natural disease. And in the eighth day the flesh
of the child's foreskin shall be cut away. And she shall continue in
the blood of her purifying thirty three days, she shall twitch no
hallowed thing nor come in to the sanctuary, until the time of her
purifying be out. If she bear a maidchild, then she shall be unclean
two weeks, as when she hath her natural disease. And she shall continue
in the blood of her purifying sixty six days. And when the days of her
purifying are out: whether it be a son or a daughter, she shall bring a
lamb of one year old for a burntoffering and a young pigeon or a
turtledove for a sinoffering unto the door of the tabernacle of witness
unto the priest: which shall offer them before the LORD, and make an
atonement for her, and so she shall be purged of her issue of blood.
This is the law of her that hath borne a child, whether it be male or
female. But and if she be not able to bring a sheep, then let her bring
two turtles or two young pigeons: the one for the burntoffering, and
the other for the sinoffering. And the priest shall make an atonement
for her, and she shall be clean.
Chapter .xiij.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying: when there
appeareth a rising in any man's flesh either a scab or a glistering
white: as though the plague of leprosy were in the skin of his flesh,
then let him be brought unto Aaron the priest or unto one of his sons
the priests, and let the priest look on the sore that is in the skin of
his flesh. If the hair in the sore be turned unto white, and the sore
also seem to be lower than the skin of his flesh, then it is surely a
leprosy, and let the priest look on him and make him unclean. If there
be but a white pleck in the skin of his flesh, and seem not to be lower
than the other skin nor the hair thereof is turned unto white: then let
the priest shut him up seven days. And let the priest look upon him the
seventh day: if the sore seem to him to abide still and to go no
further in the skin, then let the priest shut him up yet seven days
more. {mo} And let the priest look on him again the seventh day. Then
if the sore be waxed blackish, and is not grown abroad in the skin, let
the priest make him clean, for it is but a scurf. And let him wash his
clothes, and then he is clean. But and if the scab grow in the skin
after that he is seen of the priest again. If the priest see that the
scab be grown abroad in the skin, let him make him unclean: for it is
surely a leprosy. If the plague of leprosy be in a man, let him be
brought unto the priest, and let the priest see him. If the rising
appear white in the skin, and have also made the hair white, and there
be raw flesh in the sore also: then it is an old leprosy in the skin of
his flesh.
