So early on the day after they got up and made burned offerings and peace-offerings; and took their seats at the feast, and then gave themselves to pleasure.
These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.
All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;
And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;
If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;
When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;
And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,
It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.
And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,
And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.
But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.
And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper.
Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,
And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.
And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.
And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.
Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,
The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.
And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.
And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,
Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.
And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:
Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:
But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,
But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.
Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.
But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.
Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;
He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.
And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.
While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.
And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;
If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.
And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.
And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.
And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.
And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.
This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.
And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him,
This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean.
When you have come into the land of canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,
Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.
And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;
Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:
And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,
Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.
And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.
This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;
And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;
To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.
Every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean, and everything on which he has been seated will be unclean.
And he who has been seated on anything on which the unclean man has been seated is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.
And any leather seat on a horse on which the unclean man has been seated will be unclean.
And everything on which she has been resting, while she is kept separate, will be unclean, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean.
And anyone touching anything on which she has been seated will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.
Anyone touching anything on the bed or on the thing on which she has been seated, will be unclean till evening.
Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way.
Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.
Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.
Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;
Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.
This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.
And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.
He may not make search to see if it is good or bad, or make any changes in it; and if he makes exchange of it for another, the two will be holy; he will not get them back again.
Then the priest will put the oath of the curse on the woman, and say to her, May the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, sending on you wasting of the legs and disease of the stomach;
And this water of the curse will go into your body, causing disease of your stomach and wasting of your legs: and the woman will say, So be it.
And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.
Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?

And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.

And he took his place between the dead and the living: and the disease was stopped.

Now after the disease was over, the Lord said to Moses and Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
