Leviticus 14:34–45

^34d“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and ^eI put the ⁵leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession, ³⁵and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is ^fsome plague in the house,’ ³⁶then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house. ³⁷And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be ⁶deep in the wall, ³⁸then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and ⁷shut up the house seven days. ³⁹And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house, ⁴⁰then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city. ⁴¹And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. ⁴²Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.

⁴³“Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered, ⁴⁴then the priest shall come and look; and indeed if the plague has spread in the house, it is ^gan active leprosy in the house. It is unclean. ⁴⁵And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place.
