Leviticus 14:31-55

³¹One for trespass, and the other for a holocaust, with their libations.

³²This is the sacrifice of a leper, that is not able to have all things that appertain to his cleansing.

³³And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

³⁴When you shall be come into the land of Chanaan, which I will give you for a possession, if there be the plague of leprosy in a house,

³⁵He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house,

³⁶And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, lest all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of the house.

³⁷And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all the rest,

³⁸He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days,

³⁹And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread,

⁴⁰He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place:

⁴¹And that the house be scraped on the inside round about, and the dust of the scraping be scattered without the city into an unclean place:

⁴²And that other stones be laid in the place of them that were taken away, and the house be plastered with other mortar.

⁴³But if, after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth,

⁴⁴The priest going in perceive that the leprosy is returned, and the walls full of spots, it is a lasting leprosy, and the house is unclean:

⁴⁵And they shall destroy it forthwith, and shall cast the stones and timber thereof, and all the dust without the town into an unclean place.

⁴⁶He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until evening,

⁴⁷And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, it being cured,

⁴⁹And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

⁵⁰And having immolated one sparrow In an earthen vessel over living waters,

⁵¹He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and shall dip all in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated, and in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times:

⁵²And shall purify it as well with the blood of the sparrow, as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and with the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet.

⁵³And when he hath let go the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be rightly cleansed.

⁵⁴This is the law of every kind of leprosy and stroke.

⁵⁵Of the leprosy of garments and houses,
