20

All winged creeping things that Igo' upon all four are an abomination 21 unto you. Yet these may ye eat of 'all winged' creeping things that 'gol upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the 22 earth; even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the 23 2grasshopper after 'its kind. But all Iwinged creeping things, which have. four feet, are an abomination unto you.

24 And by these ye shall become! unclean whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until 25 the even: and whosoever beareth aught of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean un(26 til the even. °Every beast which Iparteth' the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, lis unclean unto you: every one that (27 toucheth them shall be unclean. And whatsoever goeth upon its' paws, among all beasts that go on all four, Ithey are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean 28 until the even. And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : they are unclean unto you.

29

о

And these are they which are! unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the 'great 30) lizard' after its kind, and the

gecko, and the land-crocodile', and the lizard, and the sand-lizard', and 31 the chameleon. These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep whosoever doth touch them, when they 'are' dead, shall be 32) unclean until the even. And upon

whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, 'wherewith' any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; 'then'

33) shall it be 'clean'. And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, (34 and it ye shall break. °All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. (35 °And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or rangel for pots, it shall be broken 'in pieces1: they are unclean, and shall be unclean (36 unto you. Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be un37 clean. And if laught of their car

case fall upon any sowing seed which (38 is to be sown, it is clean. But if water be put upon the seed, and laught of their carcase fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.

39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the 40 even. And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

41

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; 42 it shall not be eaten. "Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath Imany! feet, leven' all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomi43 nation. Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye (44) should be defiled thereby. °For I am the LORD your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that 'moveth' upon the earth. 45 °For I am the LORD that 'brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46

This is the law of the 'beast',

and

of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon 47 the earth: to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman 'conceive! seed, and bear' a man child, then she shall be unclean seven days; las in' the days of the "impurity of her 'sick3 ness shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his fore(4 skin shall be circumcised. And she

shall continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. 5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying 6) threescore and six days. And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, (7 unto the priest: and he shall offer

it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that 'beareth, (8 whether a male or a female. And

if her means suffice' not 'for' a lamb, then she shall 'take' two turtledoves', or two young pigeons; the one for la burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.

13 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses (2 and unto Aaron, saying, "When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests: 3 and the priest shall look on the

plague in the skin of the flesh and if the hair in the plague 'be' turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is 'the plague of leprosy and the priest shall look on him, and pro4 nounce him unclean. And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and 'the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him that hath 5) the plague seven days: and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if in his eyes! the plague be at a stay, and the plague 'be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more: (6) and the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be dim1, and the plague 'be' not spread in the skin, 'then' the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab and he shall wash his clothes, (7 and be clean. But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath Ishewn himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall shew himself to (8) the priest again: and the priest 'shall look, and', behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.

9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto 10) the priest; and the priest shall 'look', and, behold, if there' be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick 11 raw flesh in the rising, it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: he shall not shut him up; for 12 he is unclean. And if 'the' leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appeareth to 13 the priest; then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague it is all turned white: he is 14 clean. But whensoever! raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. (15 And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean :

that

:

the raw flesh is unclean it is leprosy. 16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, then he shall 17 come unto the priest, and the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean. 18 And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and 'it' is healed, (19) and in the place of the boil there is

a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it 'shall be shewed 20) to the priest; and the priest 'shall look, and', behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white, 'then' the priest shall pronounce him unclean it is 'thel plague of leprosy, 'it (21 hath broken out in the boil. But

if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be Idim', then the priest shall shut him (22 up seven days: and if it spread

abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a 23) plague. But if the bright spot stay in its place, and 'be' not spread, it is Ithe scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

(24)

Or when the flesh hath in the skin 'thereof a burning by fire', and the quick flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, (25 or white; then the priest shall look

upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and 'the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin; it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning: 'and' the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is (26 the plague of leprosy. But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin, but be 'dim'; then the priest shall shut (27 him up seven days: and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean it is the plague of leprosy. (28) And if the bright spot stay in its' place, and be not spread in the skin, but be 'dim'; it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is 'the scar! of the burning.

29

And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the (30 beard, then the priest shall look on the plague and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, 'it is' leprosy of the head or of the beard. (31 °And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, 'the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall 32) seven days and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and 'the appearance of the scall 33 be not deeper than the skin, then' he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven 34 days more and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, and the appearance thereof1 be not deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and 35 be clean. But if the scall spread Jabroad in the skin after his cleans36 ing; then the priest shall look on him and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is 37) unclean. But if in his leyes' the scall be at a stay, and black hair 'be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean and the priest shall pronounce

38

him clean.

And when a man or a woman Thath in the skin of their flesh bright 39 spots, even white bright spots; then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white; it is a 'tetter, it hath broken out in the skin; he is clean.

40

And if a man's hair be fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he 41 clean. And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald; yet is he clean. (42) But if there be in the bald head, or 'the' bald forehead, a reddish-white 'plague'; it is leprosy 'breaking out!

And

he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire. 53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the 54 woof, or in any thing of skin; then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days (55) more: and the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed lits colour, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire: it is a' fret, 3whether Ithe bareness! be within or without.

1 See ch. x. 6. 2 Or, woven or knitted stuff (and in vv. 49, &c.)

56 °And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after the washing Ithereof, then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out 57 of the warp, or out of the woof: and if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin, it is breaking out: thou shalt burn that wherein the

58 plague is with fire. "And the garment, either the warp, or 'the' woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be 59 clean. This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or 'the' woof, or any thing of 'skin', to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
