Tanakh for II Kings 5:10

Adonoy spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying: When a person will have, in the skin of his flesh a spot of intense whiteness or an off-white spot, or a snow-white spot, and it forms on the skin of his body [like] the plague of tzoraas, he shall be brought to Aharon, the kohein, or to one of his sons, the kohanim. The kohein shall see the plague in the skin of the flesh and [if] the hair in the skin-eruption has turned white and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his body, it is the skin-eruption of tzoraas. The kohein shall see it and declare him [to be] unclean. If it is a snow-white spot in the skin of the flesh and it does not appear deeper than the skin and the hair did not turn white, the kohein shall confine the plague for seven days. The kohein shall see him on the seventh day and behold! [if] the skin-eruption has maintained its hue; the skin-eruption did not spread in the skin. The kohein shall confine him for seven days, a second time, The kohein shall see him on the seventh day for the second time and behold! [if] the skin-eruption became dimmer and the skin-eruption did not spread in the skin, the kohein shall declare him [to be] clean; it is [merely] a white discoloration. He shall wash his garments and he will be cleansed. If the white discoloration has spread in the skin after it was shown to the kohein, who pronounced that it was clean, it must be shown a second time to the kohein. The kohein shall see and behold! [if] the white discoloration has spread in the skin, the kohein shall declare him unclean, it is tzoraas. When there is a skin-eruption of tzoraas on a person he shall be brought to the kohein. The kohein shall see and behold! there is an intensely white spot on the skin and it has turned the hair white or there is healthy flesh in the spot of intense whiteness, it is an old tzoraas in the skin of his body and the kohein shall declare him unclean he shall not confine him, since he is [obviously] unclean. And if the tzoraas sprouts on the skin and if the tzoraas covered the entire skin of the [one affected by] the eruption from his head until his feet to the extent that the kohein can see. The kohein shall see and behold! the tzoraas has covered all of his body, he shall declare the skin-eruption to be cleansed, it has turned completely white, he is clean. On the day that healthy flesh appears on him, he will become unclean. The kohein shall see the healthy flesh and declare him unclean. The healthy flesh is unclean, it is tzoraas. Or, if the healthy flesh turns again and it was changed to white, he shall come to the kohein. The kohein shall see him, and behold! the skin-eruption has turned white; the kohein shall declare the skin-eruption to be clean, he is clean. When a person has on his skin an inflammation that has healed. If there was on the area of the inflammation a spot of intense whiteness or a snow-white spot tinged with red it shall be shown to the kohein. The kohein shall see it and behold! its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the kohein shall declare him unclean; It is the skin-eruption of tzoraas that has sprouted through the inflammation. If the kohein looks at it and behold! there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin and it is faint, the kohein shall confine him for seven days. If it spread in the skin, the kohein shall declare him unclean, it is a skin eruption. If the snow-white spot remains in its place and it did not spread, it is [merely] a scar of the inflammation and the kohein shall declare him clean. When a person has on his skin a burn from a fire and [on] the healthy flesh of the burnt part, came a snow-white spot tinged with red or pure white spot. The kohein shall see it and behold! the hair has turned white in the snow-white spot and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is tzoraas that has sprouted in the burn. The kohein shall declare him unclean, it is the skin-eruption of tzoraas. If the kohein shall see it, and behold! there is not, in the snow-white spot, any white hair and it is not lower than the skin, and it is faint. The kohein shall confine him for seven days. The kohein shall see him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, the kohein shall declare him unclean, it is the skin-eruption of tzoraas. If the snow-white spot remains in its place and it did not spread in the skin and it is faint, it is the white spot of the burn. The kohein shall declare him clean for it is [merely] the scar of the burn. If a man or a woman will have a skin-eruption on the head or in the beard. The kohein shall see the skin-eruption, and behold! its appearance is deeper than the skin and there is thin golden hair in it. The kohein shall pronounce it unclean, It is a nesek, it is tzoraas of the head or the beard. When the kohein will see the skin eruption of nesek—and behold! it does not appear deeper than the skin and there is no black hair in it, the kohein shall confine [the one affected by] the skin-eruption of the nesek for seven days. The kohein shall see the skin-eruption on the seventh day, and behold! the nesek did not spread and there was no golden hair in it and the appearance of the nesek is not deeper than the skin. He shall be shaved but he shall not shave the nesek, and the kohein shall confine the nesek for a second seven day period. The kohein shall see the nesek on the seventh day and behold! if the nesek did not spread in the skin and its appearance is not deeper than the skin. The kohein shall declare him clean. He shall wash his garments and he will be clean. If the nesek spreads [extensively] in the skin after he is pronounced clean, the kohein shall see him and behold! the nesek has spread in the skin. The kohein shall not [even] look for golden hair, he is unclean. If the nesek remained the same as it was and black hair grew in it, the nesek is healed, he is clean, and the kohein shall declare him clean. When a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh—white spots. The kohein shall see, and behold! in the skin of their flesh are dim white spots, it is [merely] scurf that has sprouted in the skin; it is clean. If a mans hair falls out, he is [merely] bald; he is clean. If, on the front of his head his hair falls out, he is [merely] frontally bald; he is clean. If there will be, in the baldness in back of the head or in the baldness in front of the head a white skin-eruption, tinged with red, it is tzoraas sprouting in his frontal baldness or in his posterior baldness. The kohein shall see him, and behold! the spot of intense whiteness is tinged with red in his frontal baldness or in his posterior baldness just as the appearance tzoraas of the skin of the flesh. He is a person with tzoraas, he is unclean. The kohein shall declare him unclean; his skin-eruption is on his head. The tzorua—[the person] who has the skin-eruption—his garments shall have a tear in them, his hair shall be grown long, and he must cover his head down to his upper lip, and Unclean, unclean, shall he call out. All the days in which the skin-eruption is on him he shall be unclean; he is unclean. He shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be beyond the encampment. When in a garment there is a skin-eruption of tzoraas, whether a woolen garment or in a linen garment. Or if it is the warp [lengthwise] threads, or in the woof [widthwise] threads, in a linen garment, or a woolen garment, or on leather or in any object made of leather. If the plague is deep green or deep red, in the garment, or in the leather hide or in the warp threads, or in the woof threads, or if it is in any object made of leather; it is the eruption of tzoraas and it shall be shown to the kohein. The kohein shall see the plague and confine the eruption, for seven days. He shall see the eruption on the seventh day. If the eruption has spread in the garment or in the warp thread, or in the woof thread, or in the leather hide, or in the work made of leather, it is a prickly tzoraas, it is unclean. He shall burn the garment, or the warp [lengthwise] threads, or the woof [widthwise] threads, be it in wool or in linen, or in all leather made objects, in which there is the eruption. For it is a prickly tzoraas. It shall be burned in fire. If the kohein will see, and behold! the eruption did not spread in the garment, or in the warp threads, or in the woof threads, or in any leather made object. The kohein shall command that they shall wash the article having the eruption, and confine it for seven days, a second time. The kohein shall see it after the eruption was washed and behold! [even if] the eruption did not change its hue and the eruption did not spread; it is unclean, you shall burn it in fire. It is a deep mark be it in a worn [garment] or in a new [garment]. If the kohein saw and behold! the eruption grew faint after it was washed; he shall tear it from the garment, or from the leather, or from the warp threads or from the woof threads. If it will appear again, in the garment or in the warp [lengthwise] threads, or in the woof [widthwise] threads, or in any leather-made object, it is a recurrent outbreak of tzoraas. You shall burn the article having the eruption in fire. The garment, or the warp threads, or the woof threads, or any leather objects that were washed and the eruption disappears from them, it shall be washed a second time and it shall be purified. This is the law of the eruption of tzoraas be it in a woolen garment, or a linen garment, or in the warp [lengthwise] thread, or in the woof [widthwise] thread, or in any leather-made object, that it be pronounced pure, or that it be pronounced impure.

And Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying: This shall be the law regarding the person with tzoraas on the day of his purification, he shall be brought to the kohein. 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. The kohein shall command to take for the person undergoing purification two live, pure [kosher] birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop. The kohein shall command to slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel, over running water. [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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. The kohein shall take from the log of the oil and he shall pour it onto the koheins left palm. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. He shall bring them on the eighth day of his purification, to the kohein, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before Adonoy. 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. 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. The kohein shall pour some of the oil onto the koheins left palm. The kohein shall sprinkle, with his right finger, some of the oil that is on his left palm, seven times before Adonoy. 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. 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. He shall do (offer) one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, from that which his means suffice, 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. This is the law of whoever has the skin-eruption of tzoraas whose means are not sufficient in his purification. Adonoy spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying: 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. Whoevers house it is, shall come and tell to the kohein, saying, Something like an eruption has appeared to me in the house. 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. 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. The kohein shall go out of the house to the entrance of the house, and place the house under quarantine for seven days. The kohein shall return on the seventh day and shall see; and behold! the eruption has spread in the walls of the house. 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. 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. They shall take other stones, and they shall bring them to replace the stones, and he shall take other earth and plaster the house. 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, the kohein shall come and see; and behold! the eruption has spread in the house; prickly tzoraas is in the house, it is impure. 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. Whoever will come inside the house [during] all the days of its confinement, shall be impure until the evening. Whoever will lie down inside the house shall wash his garments. Whoever will eat inside the house shall wash his garments. 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. He shall take, to purify the house, two birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop. He shall slaughter one bird in an earthenware vessel, over running water. 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. 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. He shall send the living bird, beyond the city into the open field, and atone for the house and it shall be purified. This is the law for all the eruptions of tzoraas and for the nesek. For tzoraas of the garment and of the house. For the spot white as wool, for the spot that is nearly as white and for the spot white as snow. To teach [the law] of the day of becoming impure and of the day of becoming pure; this is the law of tzoraas.
