Leviticus 14:34–45

³⁴“^aWhen you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you for a possession, and I put a mark of leprosy on a house in the land of your possession,

³⁵then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘Something like ^aa mark of leprosy has become visible to me in the house.’

³⁶“The priest shall then command that they empty the house before the priest goes in to look at the mark, so that everything in the house need not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to look at the house.

³⁷“So he shall look at the mark, and if the mark on the walls of the house has greenish or reddish depressions and appears deeper than the surface of the wall,

³⁸then the priest shall come out of the house, to the ¹doorway, and ²put the house under isolation for seven days.

³⁹“And the priest shall return on the seventh day and look again. If the mark has indeed spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰then the priest shall command them to tear out the stones with the mark in them and throw them away ¹at an unclean place outside the city.

⁴¹“And he shall have the house scraped all around ¹inside, and they shall pour out the plaster that they scrape off at an unclean place outside the city.

⁴²“Then they shall take other stones and replace those stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.

⁴³“If, however, the mark breaks out again in the house after he has torn out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,

⁴⁴then the priest shall come in and look again. If he sees that the mark has indeed spread in the house, it is ^aa ¹leprous malignancy in the house; it is unclean.

⁴⁵“He shall therefore tear down the house, its stones and its timbers and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an ^aunclean place.
