Leviticus 14:10-24

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ On the eighth day, the person must bring two young male sheep and one female sheep. The female sheep must be one year old. Both the animals must be perfect. He must also bring three tenths (3/10) of an ephah of flour (about six litres) mixed with oil. And he must bring a cup of olive oil. ¹¹ The priest who is making him clean must be there. He must bring the person to the door of the Tent of Meeting. The person must bring with him his offerings to the Lord.

¹² The priest must take one of the male sheep and the oil. He must lift them up to the Lord as a gift. ¹³ He must kill the sheep at the north side of the altar. That is where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering. The gift is holy. It is food for the priests. ¹⁴ The priest must put some of the blood on the lowest part of the person's right ear. He must put blood on the thumb of the person's right hand. And he must put blood on the big toe of the person's right foot. ¹⁵ The priest must pour some of the oil into his own left hand. ¹⁶ He must put a finger from his right hand into the oil. He must shake the oil seven times in front of the Lord's altar. ¹⁷ The priest must put oil on the lowest part of the person's right ear. He must put some of the oil on the thumb of the person's right hand. He must put some of the oil on the big toe of the person's right foot. He will put the oil on top of the offering's blood. ¹⁸ The priest must put the oil that he did not use on the person's head. This makes his atonement in front of the Lord.

¹⁹ Then the priest must offer the sin offering. That will make atonement for the man who will become clean. Then the priest must kill another sheep. It is a burnt offering. ²⁰ The priest must sacrifice the dead animal. It is a burnt offering. The priest must offer it on the altar. He must burn the flour and the oil with it on the altar. All this will make atonement for the person. This makes the person who had the disease clean.

²¹ If the person is poor, he must bring one young male sheep. And he must bring a tenth of an ephah of flour (about 2 litres) mixed with oil. And he must give a cup of olive oil. The priest must lift them to the Lord. ²² The person must also bring two birds. They must be doves or pigeons. These will be his gift. One bird is for a sin offering and the other one is for a burnt offering.

²³ On the eighth day, the person must bring his gifts to the Lord. He must bring them to the door of the Tent of Meeting. ²⁴ The priest will take the young sheep and the oil and he will lift them up to the Lord.
