³⁴‘When ye come in unto the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house in the land of your possession; ³⁵then hath he whose the house is come in and declared to the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the house; ³⁶and the priest hath commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest cometh in to see the plague (that all which is in the house be not unclean), and afterwards doth the priest come in to see the house; ³⁷and he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague is in the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red, and their appearance is lower than the wall, ³⁸and the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days.

³⁹‘And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house, ⁴⁰and the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague is, and have cast them unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place; ⁴¹and the house he doth cause to be scraped within round about, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place; ⁴²and they have taken other stones, and brought them in unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath daubed the house.

⁴³‘And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the daubing; ⁴⁴then hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the house; it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

⁴⁵‘And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought them forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place.
