The passage constitutes priestly ritual law (Torah), detailing the two-stage purification ceremony required for a person healed of \"leprosy\" (likely covering various skin conditions, not just Hansen's disease) to be ceremonially readmitted to the Israelite community. The first stage, performed outside the camp, involves two birds, cedar wood, scarlet thread, and hyssop \u2014 one bird is killed over running water and its blood used to sprinkle the cleansed person seven times, while the living bird is released. The second stage, on the eighth day, involves animal sacrifice, grain offerings, and an elaborate anointing ritual in which the priest applies blood and oil to the right ear, right thumb, and right big toe of the person being cleansed \u2014 with a reduced-cost alternative (turtledoves instead of lambs) specified for those too poor to afford the full rite. The passage extends these purity laws beyond persons to infected houses in Canaan, prescribing quarantine, removal of contaminated stones, re-plastering, and \u2014 if contamination persists \u2014 complete demolition. The interlinear format (KJV + Strong's numbers + Septuagint) marks this as a study or reference text aimed at readers engaged in serious biblical scholarship or original-language comparison.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Leviticus: Leviticus 14","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":4892}
