And this is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron shall bring it near before the Lord, in front of the altar. And he shall take up from it in his handful some of the fine flour of the meal offering and of its oil, and all the frankincense that is on the meal offering, and he shall turn into smoke on the altar a pleasing aroma, its memorial portion, to the Lord. And what is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat; unleavened it shall be eaten in a holy place; in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting they shall eat it. It shall not be baked with leaven; I have given it as their portion of My fire-offerings; it is most holy, like the sin offering and like the guilt offering. Every male among the sons of Aaron may eat of it, an everlasting statute throughout your generations from the fire-offerings of the Lord; whatever touches them shall become holy.

And it was on the eighth day that Moses called to Aaron and to his sons and to the elders of Israel. And he said to Aaron: Take for yourself a calf of the herd for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and bring them near before the Lord. And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying: Take a goat of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, yearlings, without blemish, for a burnt offering; and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to slaughter before the Lord, and a meal offering mixed with oil—for today the Lord will appear to you. And they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and the whole congregation drew near and stood before the Lord. And Moses said: This is the thing that the Lord has commanded that you do, that the glory of the Lord may appear to you.

And Moses said to Aaron: Draw near to the altar and perform your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself and for the people; and perform the people's offering and make atonement for them, as the Lord has commanded. And Aaron drew near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering that was his. And Aaron's sons brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, and the blood he poured out at the base of the altar. And the fat and the kidneys and the appendage from the liver of the sin offering he turned into smoke on the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And the priest shall look at the mark in the skin of the flesh: if the hair in the mark has turned white and the appearance of the mark is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a mark of leprous affliction; when the priest has looked at him, he shall declare him unclean. And if it is a white bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up the mark for seven days. And the priest shall look at it on the seventh day: if the mark has remained in his eyes, the mark has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up for seven days more.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his purification: he shall be brought to the priest. And the priest shall go out outside the camp, and the priest shall look, and behold, the mark of leprous affliction has been healed from the leper. And the priest shall command, and he shall take for the one being purified two live pure birds, and cedar wood, and crimson stuff, and hyssop. And the priest shall command, and he shall slaughter the one bird into an earthen vessel over living water.

And he shall sprinkle upon the one being purified from the leprous affliction seven times, and purify him, and he shall send the live bird free over the open field. And the one being purified shall wash his garments and shave off all his hair and bathe in water and be pure, and afterward he may come into the camp, and he shall dwell outside his tent seven
