If the skin disease has been healed in the afflicted person, 4 the priest shall command that two living clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the one to be cleansed. 5 The priest shall command that one of the birds be slaughtered over a clay pot filled with fresh water. 6 The living bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, shall be dipped in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over fresh water. 7 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the one to be cleansed from the skin disease seven times. Then he shall pronounce them clean and release the living bird into the open field. 8 The one who is to be cleansed must wash their clothes, shave off all their hair, and bathe in water; then they will be clean. After that, they may enter the camp but must stay outside their tent for seven days. 9 On the seventh day, they must shave off all their hair—their head, their beard, their eyebrows, and all their hair. They must wash their clothes and bathe their body in water, and then they will be clean. 10 On the eighth day, they must bring two unblemished male lambs, one unblemished year-old ewe lamb, three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and one log of oil. 11 The priest who performs the cleansing shall present the person to be cleansed, along with these offerings, before the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 12 The priest shall take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering, along with the log of oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. 13 Then he shall slaughter the lamb in the holy place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered, for the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy, like the sin offering. 14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and apply it to the tip of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the one being cleansed. 15 Then the priest shall take some of the log of oil and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. 16 He shall dip his right finger into the oil in his left hand and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD. 17 Some of the remaining oil in his hand the priest shall apply to the tip of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the one being cleansed, on top of the blood of the guilt offering. 18 The rest of the oil in the priest’s hand he shall place on the head of the one being cleansed. This is how the priest will make atonement for them before the LORD. 19 Then the priest shall offer the sin offering to make atonement for the one being cleansed from their impurity. Afterward, he shall slaughter the burnt offering. 20 The priest shall offer up the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. In this way, the priest will make atonement for them, and they will be clean. 21 If the person is poor and cannot afford these offerings, they shall take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for them, along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a log of oil. 22 They shall also take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever they can afford—one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 23 On the eighth day, they shall bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the LORD, for their cleansing. 24 The priest shall take the lamb for the guilt offering and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. 25 Then he shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering, and the priest shall take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the one being cleansed. 26 The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand. 27 He shall dip his right finger into the oil in his left hand and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD. 28 The priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the one being cleansed, on top of the blood of the guilt offering. 29 The rest of the oil in his hand the priest shall place on the head of the one being cleansed, to make atonement for them before the LORD. 30 Then he shall prepare one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, whichever he can afford. 31 He shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, along with the grain offering. In this way, the priest will make atonement for the one being cleansed before the LORD. 32 This is the law for anyone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the standard offering for their cleansing.
