33 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 34 When ye are entered into the land of Canaan, which I give to you in possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession, 35 the one that owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, Something like unto a plague has appeared in my house. 36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes into it to see the plague so that all that is in the house is not contaminated; and afterward the priest shall go in to recognize the house. 37 And he shall look on the plague, and if the plague is seen in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be lower than the wall, 38 the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days. 39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day and shall look; and if the plague has spread in the walls of the house, 40 then the priest shall command that they remove the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them outside the city into an unclean place; 41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place; 42 and they shall take other stones and put them in the place of the stones that were removed; and he shall take other mortar and shall plaster the house.
43 And if the plague comes again and breaks out in the house after he has taken away the stones and after he has scraped the house and after it is plastered, 44 then the priest shall come in and look; and if the plague appears to have spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean. 45 Then he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timbers, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. 46 Moreover he that enters into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening. 47 And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and he that eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 But if the priest shall come in and look upon it, and see that the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the plague is healed. 49 Then to remove the sin from the house he shall take two birds and cedar wood and scarlet and hyssop, 50 and he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over living water, 51 and he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the scarlet and the living bird and dip them all in the blood of the slain bird and in the living water and sprinkle the house seven times. 52 And he shall remove the sin from the house with the blood of the bird and with the living water and with the living bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the scarlet. 53 Then he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields; and thus shall he reconcile the house, and it shall be clean.
54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy and scall 55 and for the leprosy of a garment and of a house 56 and for a rising and for a scab and for a bright spot, 57 to teach when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
