The regulation of the dwellers in the cities of Israel, according to these judgments, that a difference may be made between the unclean and the clean, and to make known the difference between the holy and the common.
2And these statutes are to give instruction so that the whole nation may walk in them according to the Law always.
3And according to this law shall walk the seed of Israel, and they shall not be cursed.
4And this is the regulation of the dwellers according to which they should act during the period of the wickedness until there arises the Messiah from Aaron and Israel, up to ten men at least, to thousands and hundreds and fifties and tens.
5And when there arise ten, the man who is a priest learned in the Book of the Hagu shall not depart. According to his word shall they all be ruled.
6And if he is not expert in all these, but a man of the Levites is expert in these, the lot shall be that all those that enter into the camp shall go out and come in according to his word.
7And if there be a judgment regarding the law of leprosy which is in a man, then the priest shall come and stand in the camp, and the Censor shall instruct him in the true meaning of the law.
8And even if he is lacking in understanding he shall shut him up; for unto them is the judgment.
