The ritual for a leper to be cleansed:
Leprosy, afflictions have come to the surface
When the priest or priestess outside the camp
Sees a leper is healed of scaly affection
(Infection and affliction)
Once we face it clearly and take responsibility completely
Without blaming anyone, even ourselves
The healing has begun
Bring two live clean birds, cedar wood
Crimson and hyssop leaves
Also freshwater in an earthen vessel
Gather the elements for a ritual
Dip all in the water
Sprinkle that water seven times on the one to be cleansed
Now set the birds free in the open country
Ritual is playing with God to alter consciousness
Be free in the open country (mantra)
You who were sick can now go wash your clothes
We wear our actions like a coat of colors
Selfless actions wash our clothes
Shave your hair
Re-dedicate one’s life to God, serving all
Bathe in pure water
Investigate scripture
Be clean and enter the camp
Thus we are purified for service in the family of humanity
But stay outside your tent for seven days
Your tent is code for The Tent of Meeting
Which is realizing you are the oneness of everything always
Let's prepare seven days for this reunion on the eighth day
The day of infinity, the day beyond time and space
