^34–35the following regulations about houses affected by spreading mildew. (These were to apply after the people of Israel entered the land of Canaan, which the Lord was going to give them as their possession.) If someone finds that the Lord has sent mildew on his house, then he must go and tell the priest about it. ³⁶The priest shall order everything to be moved out of the house before he goes to examine the mildew; otherwise everything in the house will be declared unclean. Then he shall go to the house ³⁷and examine the mildew. If there are greenish or reddish spots that appear to be eating into the wall, ³⁸he shall leave the house and lock it up for seven days. ³⁹On the seventh day he shall return and examine it again. If the mildew has spread, ⁴⁰he shall order the stones on which the mildew is found to be removed and thrown into some unclean place outside the city. ⁴¹After that he must have all the interior walls scraped and the plaster dumped in an unclean place outside the city. ⁴²Then other stones are to be used to replace the stones that were removed, and new plaster will be used to cover the walls.

⁴³If the mildew breaks out again in the house after the stones have been removed and the house has been scraped and plastered, ⁴⁴the priest shall go and look. If it has spread, the house is unclean. ⁴⁵It must be torn down, and its stones, its wood, and all its plaster must be carried out of the city to an unclean place.
