Parsha Metzora

(14,1) And Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying:

(14,2) This shall be the law regarding the person with tzoraas on the day of his purification, he shall be brought to the kohein.

(14,3) The kohein shall go out beyond the encampment. The kohein shall see; and behold! the skin-eruption of tzoraas has healed from the person with tzoraas.

(14,4) The kohein shall command to take for the person undergoing purification two live, pure [kosher] birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop.

(14,5) The kohein shall command to slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel, over running water.

(14,6) [As for] the living bird, he shall take it; and the cedar wood, the crimson thread and the hyssop and immerse them and the live bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water.

(14,7) He shall sprinkle on the person undergoing purification from the tzoraas, seven times and make him pure; and send the live bird into the open field.

(14,8) The person undergoing purification shall wash his garments, and shave off all of his hair, and bathe in water, and he will become purified. After [this], he may come into the encampment. He must remain, outside of his tent, for seven days.

(14,9) It shall be, that on the seventh day, he shall shave off all of his hair, [that of] his head, his beard and his eyebrows; he shall shave off all of his hair. He shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water and become purified.

(14,10) On the eighth day, he shall take two unblemished lambs and one ewe in her first year, unblemished, and three tenths fine flour, for a meal-offering, mixed with oil and one log of oil.

(14,11) The kohein doing the purification, shall place the man undergoing the purification and the [aforementioned] items, before Adonoy, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

(14,12) The kohein shall take one lamb and bring it as a guilt-offering, and (with) the log of oil and wave them as a wave-offering before Adonoy.

(14,13) He shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the sacred place; for, just as the sin-offering—is the guilt-offering; it belongs to the kohein, it is most holy.

(14,14) The kohein shall take from the blood of the guilt-offering and the kohein shall put it on the middle ridge of the right ear of the person being purified, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

(14,15) The kohein shall take from the log of the oil and he shall pour it onto the koheins left palm.

(14,16) The kohein shall immerse his right finger in some of the oil that is on his left palm and he shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Adonoy.

(14,17) From the remaining oil that is on his palm, the kohein shall put on the middle ridge of the right ear of the person being purified, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot; on [over] the blood of the guilt-offering.

(14,18) Whatever oil remains that is on the palm of the kohein, he shall put on the head of the person undergoing purification. The kohein will atone for him before Adonoy.

(14,19) The kohein shall do (offer) the sin-offering and atone for the person undergoing purification from his impurity and afterwards he shall slaughter the burnt-offering.

(14,20) The kohein shall raise up the burnt-offering and the meal-offering onto the altar and the kohein will atone for him and he will be purified.

(14,21) If he is poor and his means are not sufficient, he shall take one lamb as a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering to atone for him and one tenth fine flour mixed with oil, as a meal-offering and a log of oil.

(14,22) And two turtledoves or two young pigeons such as his means suffice. One shall be for a sin-offering and one shall be for a burnt-offering.

(14,23) He shall bring them on the eighth day of his purification, to the kohein, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before Adonoy.

(14,24) The kohein shall take the guilt-offering sheep and the log of oil and the kohein shall wave them as a wave-offering before Adonoy.

(14,25) He shall slaughter the guilt-offering lamb. The kohein shall take some blood of the guilt-offering and put it on the middle ridge of the right ear of the person undergoing purification, and on the thumb of his right hand and the big toe of his right foot.

(14,26) The kohein shall pour some of the oil onto the koheins left palm.

(14,27) The kohein shall sprinkle, with his right finger, some of the oil that is on his left palm, seven times before Adonoy.

(14,28) The kohein shall put some of the oil that is on his palm, on the middle ridge of the right ear of the person undergoing purification, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering.

(14,29) What remains of the oil that is on the palm of the kohein, he shall put on the head of the person undergoing purification, to achieve his atonement before Adonoy.

(14,30) He shall do (offer) one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, from that which his means suffice,

(14,31) that for which his means are sufficient, one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering with the meal-offering. The kohein will atone for the person undergoing purification before Adonoy.

(14,32) This is the law of whoever has the skin-eruption of tzoraas whose means are not sufficient in his purification.

(14,33) Adonoy spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying:

(14,34) When you will come into the land of Canaan that I will give to you for a possession, and I shall put the eruption of tzoraas in the house of the land of your possession.

(14,35) Whoevers house it is, shall come and tell to the kohein, saying, Something like an eruption has appeared to me in the house.

(14,36) The kohein shall command, and they shall empty the house [of its contents] before the kohein will come to see the eruption so everything in the house shall not become impure. Afterwards, the kohein shall come to see the house.

(14,37) He shall see the eruption and behold! The eruption is in the walls of the house; impressions, of greenest green or of reddest red and they appear to be lower than the [surface of] the wall.

(14,38) The kohein shall go out of the house to the entrance of the house, and place the house under quarantine for seven days.

(14,39) The kohein shall return on the seventh day and shall see; and behold! the eruption has spread in the walls of the house.

(14,40) The kohein shall command and they shall remove the stones in which there is the eruption and cast them away, beyond the city to an impure place.

(14,41) He shall scrape the house from the inside, all around, and they shall throw away the earth that they scraped, beyond the city, to an impure place.

(14,42) They shall take other stones, and they shall bring them to replace the stones, and he shall take other earth and plaster the house.

(14,43) If the eruption returns and sprouts in the house after the stones were removed, and after the house was scraped, and after it was plastered,

(14,44) the kohein shall come and see; and behold! the eruption has spread in the house; prickly tzoraas is in the house, it is impure.

(14,45) He shall dismantle the house; its stones and its wood and all the earth of the house. He shall take it out beyond the city, to an impure place.

(14,46) Whoever will come inside the house [during] all the days of its confinement, shall be impure until the evening.

(14,47) Whoever will lie down inside the house shall wash his garments. Whoever will eat inside the house shall wash his garments.

(14,48) If the kohein shall come and see; and behold! the eruption did not spread in the house after the house was plastered, the kohein shall pronounce the house [to be] pure, for the eruption has been healed.

(14,49) He shall take, to purify the house, two birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop.

(14,50) He shall slaughter one bird in an earthenware vessel, over running water.

(14,51) He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the crimson thread and the live bird and immerse them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

(14,52) He shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the crimson thread.

(14,53) He shall send the living bird, beyond the city into the open field, and atone for the house and it shall be purified.

(14,54) This is the law for all the eruptions of tzoraas and for the nesek.

(14,55) For tzoraas of the garment and of the house.

(14,56) For the spot white as wool, for the spot that is nearly as white and for the spot white as snow.

(14,57) To teach [the law] of the day of becoming impure and of the day of becoming pure; this is the law of tzoraas.

(15,1) Adonoy spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying:

(15,2) Speak to Bnei Yisroel and say to them; should [discharge] flow from the body of any man, [because of] his discharge, he is impure.

(15,3) This is the law of his impurity, when his discharge flows; His flesh drips [with] his discharge or his flesh is stopped up by his discharge, it causes him to become impure.

(15,12) An earthenware vessel which the zov will touch shall be broken. Any wooden vessel shall be rinsed in water.

(15,13) When a zov will become ritually clean, from his discharge-impurity, he shall count for himself seven days for his purification and wash his garments, and bathe in running water, and he will be purified.

(15,14) On the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before Adonoy, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and give them to the kohein.
