Leviticus 14:31-55

³¹Such, I say, as he is able, the one for a sinne offring, and the other for a burnt offring with the meate offring: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him that is to bee clensed before the Lord.

³²This is the lawe of him which hath the plague of leprosie, who is not able in his clensing to offer the whole.

³³The Lord also spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴When ye be come vnto the land of Canaan which I giue you in possession, if I sende the plague of leprosie in an house of the land of your possession,

³⁵Then he that oweth the house, shall come and tell the Priest, saying, Me thinke there is like a plague of leprosie in the house.

³⁶Then the Priest shall commande them to emptie the house before the Priest goe into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made vncleane, and then shall the Priest goe in to see the house,

³⁷And hee shall marke the plague: and if the plague be in the walles of the house, and that there be deepe spots, greenish or reddish, which seeme to be lower then the wall,

³⁸Then the Priest shall goe out of the house to the doore of the house, and shall cause to shut vp the house seuen dayes.

³⁹So the Priest shall come againe ye seuenth day: and if he see that the plague bee increased in the walles of the house,

⁴⁰Then the Priest shall commande them to take away the stones wherein the plague is, and they shall cast them into a foule place without the citie.

⁴¹Also hee shall cause to scrape the house within rounde about, and powre the dust, that they haue pared off, without the citie in an vncleane place.

⁴²And they shall take other stones, and put them in the places of those stones, and shall take other mortar, to plaister the house with.

⁴³But if the plague come againe and breake out in the house, after that he hath taken away ye stones, and after that hee hath scraped and playstered the house,

⁴⁴Then the Priest shall come and see: and if the plague growe in the house, it is a freating leprosie in the house: it is therefore vncleane.

⁴⁵And hee shall breake downe the house, with the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and hee shall carie them out of the citie vnto an vncleane place.

⁴⁶Moreouer he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut vp, hee shall bee vncleane vntill the euen.

⁴⁷Hee also that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes: he likewise that eateth in the house, shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸But if the Priest shall come and see, that the plague hath spread no further in the house, after the house be plaistered, the Priest shall pronounce that house cleane, for the plague is healed.

⁴⁹Then shall he take to purifie the house, two sparrowes, and cedar wood, and skarlet lace, and hyssope.

⁵⁰And hee shall kill one sparowe ouer pure water in an earthen vessell,

⁵¹And shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssope, and the skarlet lace with the liue Sparrow, and dip them in the blood of the slayne Sparrow, and in the pure water, and sprinkle the house seuen times:

⁵²So shall hee clense the house with ye blood of the sparowe, and with the pure water, and with the liue sparowe, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssope, and with the skarlet lace.

⁵³Afterwarde he shall let go the liue sparowe out of the towne into the broad fieldes: so shall he make atonement for the house, and it shall be cleane.

⁵⁴This is the law for euery plague of leprosie and blacke spot,

⁵⁵And of the leprosie of the garment, and of the house,
