³⁴“When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am about to give to you as your possession, and I put mildew^y in a house in the land of your possession, ³⁵then^z the one who owns the house^a shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘It appears to me that an infection is in the house.’ ³⁶And the priest shall issue a command, and they shall clear out the house before the priest comes to examine the infection, so that^b all that is in the house might not become unclean; and afterward^c the priest shall go to examine the house. ³⁷And he shall examine the infection, and if^d the infection on the house’s wall has yellowish-green or reddish spots and its appearance is deeper than the surface of^e the wall, ³⁸then^f the priest shall go out from the house to the house’s entrance, and he shall confine^g the house for seven days. ³⁹And the priest shall return on the seventh day, and he shall examine the infection,^h and ifⁱ the infection has spread on the house’s wall, ⁴⁰the priest shall issue a command and they shall remove the stones on which is the infection, and they shall throw them outside the city^j on an unclean place. ⁴¹Then^k they^l shall scrape off the plaster^m from all around the house, and they shall pour out the plaster,ⁿ which they scraped off, outside the city^o on an unclean place. ⁴²And they shall take other stones, and they shall put^p them in place of those stones, and they^q shall take other plaster,^r and they^s shall replaster^t the house.

⁴³“But^u if the infection should return and it breaks out in the house after they^v have removed the stones and after scraping off the plaster^w of the house and after it has been replastered,^x ⁴⁴then^y the priest shall come, and he shall examine the infection,^z and if^a the infection has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew^b in the house—it is unclean. ⁴⁵So^c he shall break down the house, its stones and its wood and all of the house’s plaster,^d and he shall bring it all^e outside the city^f to an unclean place.
