Speaker 1 (00:00):
Leviticus, chapter fourteen, The Eternal One spoke to Moses. These
are the instructions for determining when an infected person has
recovered from a skin disease and should be pronounced clean.
The priest must go outside the camp and examine the
infected person. If the priest determines the skin disease has
been healed, then he will prescribe that two healthy birds,
(00:21):
both ritually pure, some cedar, wood, scarlet string, and hysip
be brought for the cleansing ritual. The priest will direct
that one of the birds be killed in a clay
jar over running water. He will then take the living bird,
along with the cedar, the scarlet string, and the hiesip,
and dip them in the blood of the first bird
(00:42):
killed over running water. Then the priest will sprinkle the
one who is being cleansed from the skin disease seven
times with the blood, pronounce that he is once again clean,
and set the living bird free in a wide open field.
The person who is presented for cleansing will wash his clothes,
shave all the hair from his body, and wash himself
(01:03):
with water. Then he will be clean. After all this
is done, he's permitted to enter the community, but he
must remain outside of his tent for seven days. When
this seventh day arrives, he must shave all the hair
from his body again, his head, beard, eyebrows, and he
has to wash his clothes again and bathe in water.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
This is how he is to be made clean. On
the eighth day, the.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Person must bring two unblemish mail lambs, an unblemish yur
oald ewe lamb, six quarts of the finest flour mixed
with oil to act as a grain offering, two thirds
pint of oil. The priest who pronounces the person clean,
will bring the man and his offering into my presence
at the entrance of the congregation tent. The priest is
then to take one male lamb as the guilt offering,
(01:47):
along with two thirds pint of oil, and lift them
up as a wave offering in my presence. Then he
must slaughter the lamb in the same area of the
sanctuary where they kill the purification offering for sin and
the burnt offering. The guilt offering, like the purification offering,
belongs to the priest. They are most sacred. The priest
will then collect some of the blood of the guilt
(02:08):
offering and place it on the right ear lobe, the
right thumb, and the right big toe of the person
who is being cleansed. The priest will take some of
the two third pint of oil and pour it into
the palm of his own left hand, and then he
will dip his right finger into the oil in his
left hand and sprinkle drops of it with his finger
seven times before me. He will then take some of
(02:30):
the oil from his left hand and place it on
the right ear lobe, the right thumb, and the right
big toe of the person being cleansed, and on top
of the blood of the guilt offering. The priest should
take any remaining oil from his left hand and put
it on the head of the person being cleansed. Then
the priest must perform the atoning sacrifice before me to
(02:50):
cover the person's sins. The priest is to offer the
purification offering to cover the sin of the one being cleansed.
After this, the priest must present the sacrifice for the
burnt offering along with the grain offering on the altar.
This is how the priest will cover the sin, guilt,
and uncleanness of the person seeking to be cleansed, this
person must be considered clean once again. If the person
(03:13):
who comes for cleansing is poor and cannot afford the
prescribed offerings, then he may be covered by bringing one
male lamb as a gilt offering, to be lifted up
as a wave offering. He should also present four pints
of the finest flour mixed with oil for a grain offering,
along with two thirds pint of oil. He should also
bring two turtle doves or two young pigeons, whichever he
can afford. One of the birds will be for the
(03:35):
purification offering and the other will be for the burnt offering.
When the eighth day arrives, which is the day after
he shaves the second time, the person must present them
for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance of
the congregation ten in my presence, the priest will receive
the lamb for the gilt offering and the two thirds
pint of oil and lift them as a wave offering
(03:55):
before me. Afterward, he will kill the lamb for the
gilt offering, collect some of its blood, and place it
on the right ear lobe, the right thumb, and the
right big toe of the person being cleansed, the priest
is to pour some of the oil onto the palm
of his own left hand and sprinkle drops of it
with his right finger seven times in my presence. The
priest will then take some of the oil from his
(04:15):
left hand, place it in on the right ear lobe,
the right thumb, and the right big toe of the
person being cleansed, and on top of the blood from
the guilt offering. The priest should take any remaining oil
from his left hand and put it on the head
of the person being cleansed to cover him before me.
He will then present one of the turtle doves or
young pigeons, whichever he can afford, one for the purification
(04:37):
offering and the other for the burnt offering that accompanies
the grain offering. The priest will cover the sin, gilt,
and uncleanness before me of the person seeking to be cleansed.
These instructions explain what to do when someone with a
serious skin disease cannot afford all the items for his cleansing.
The Eternal One spoke to Moses and Aaron, when you
(04:58):
go into the land of Canaan, the land which I'm
giving you as your own, and I contaminate or infect
one of the houses in your land. The owner of
the house must go and inform the priest, I have just.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Noticed the spot in my house.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
The priest must then order the person to remove all
the contents from the house before he comes to examine
the spot. This saves the person from possibly having everything
in the house declared unclean. After this is done, the
priest can go inside and inspect the spot. If he
does see that the spot has greenish or reddish depressions
(05:32):
and appears to go deep beneath the surface of the wall,
then the priest will exit the house through the door
and quarantine the house for seven days. When the seventh
day arrives, the priest will go back into the house
and inspect it again. If the discolored spot has shown
up on other places on the walls, the priest will
direct them to remove all the stones that have any
suspicious spots on them and discard them in the impure
(05:55):
refuse pile outside the camp.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They are also to.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Scrape off any cycs aspicious looking plaster and discard it
in the impure refuse pile outside the camp. Then they
are to go out and find other stones to replace
the ones they removed and then replaster the walls.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
If there is another outbreak after they have removed.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
All the suspicious looking stones and plaster and then replastered
the walls, the priest must enter the house and inspect
it once again. If he finds that the spots have reappeared,
and then the house has a chronic outbreak and is unclean,
the owner must demolish the house and take all its stones, wood,
and plaster to the impure refuse pile outside the camp.
(06:37):
Whoever enters the house while the house is quarantined by
the priest will become unclean until dusk. Also, anyone who
sleeps or eats inside the house must wash their clothes.
If the priest enters the house to inspect it and
the spot has not reappeared after the walls have been
rebuilt and replastered, the priest will declare the house clean
because the spot has not returned. To cleanse the house
(07:00):
from its contamination, the priest must take two birds, some cedarwood,
scarlet string, and hyesap and slaughter one bird in a
clay jar over running water. He will then dip the
cedar wood, hiesip, scarlet string, and the living bird in
the blood of the first bird and in running water,
and then sprinkle the house seven times. This is how
(07:20):
the priest will cleanse the house from the outbreak, using
the blood of the sacrifice bird, running water, the living bird, cedarwood,
hy sip, and scarlet string. He will set the living
bird free over a wide open field outside the camp.
In this way, the priest will cover over the impurity
of the house and the house will be declared clean.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
These are God's instruction.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
For how to deal with suspicious looking spots, for scalaly areas,
swelling rashes, and discolored spots on the skin, and for
discolored spots on clothing or in a house. With these instructions,
priests are able to determine whether they are clean or unclean.
Leviticus, chapter fourteen, The Eternal One spoke to Moses. These
are the instructions for determining when an infected person has

one who is being cleansed from the skin disease seven
times with the blood, pronounce that he is once again clean,
and set the living bird free in a wide open field.
The person who is presented for cleansing will wash his clothes,
shave all the hair from his body, and wash himself
(01:03):
with water. Then he will be clean. After all this
