Leviticus 14:33-52 in English

³³ And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴ When ye are come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

³⁵ then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house.

³⁶ And the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goeth in to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

³⁷ and he shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the wall;

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city:

⁴¹ and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scrape off, without the city into an unclean place:

⁴² and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered;

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

⁵⁰ and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

⁵¹ and he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

⁵² and he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

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

³⁴ Whensoever ye shall enter into the land of the Chananites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;

³⁵ then the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague in the house.

³⁶ And the priest shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest comes in to see the plague, and thus none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to examine the house.

³⁷ And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house, he will see greenish or reddish cavities, and the appearance of them will be beneath the surface of the walls.

³⁸ And the priest shall come out of the house to the door of the house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall return on the seventh day and view the house; and, behold, if the plague is spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall give orders, and they shall take away the stones in which the plague is, and shall cast them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴¹ And they shall scrape the house within round about, and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the former stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague should return again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house is scraped, and after it has been plastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And they shall take down the house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ And he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.

⁴⁷ And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening.

⁴⁸ And if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and behold the plague be not at all spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall declare the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to purify the house two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ And he shall slay one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living bird; and shall dip it into the blood of the bird slain over running water, and with them he shall sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² And he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the spun scarlet.

³³ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴ When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

³⁵ And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

³⁶ Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

³⁷ And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

³⁸ Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

³⁹ And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

⁴⁰ Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

⁴¹ And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

⁴⁴ Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

⁵⁰ And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

⁵² And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

³³ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴ When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

³⁵ And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

³⁶ Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

³⁷ And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

³⁸ Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

³⁹ And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

⁴⁰ Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

⁴¹ And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

⁴⁴ Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

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

³⁴ Whenever you° shall enter into the land of the Chananites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;

³⁵ then the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague in the house.

³⁶ And the priest shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest comes in to see the plague, and thus none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to examine the house.

⁵⁰ And he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.

³⁹ and the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city:

⁴¹ and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

⁴² and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaister the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come in and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

⁵⁰ and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

⁵¹ and he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

⁵² and he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

³³ Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,

³⁴ “I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.

³⁵ If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’

³⁶ Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’

³⁷ After the owner takes everything outside of his house, the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,

³⁸ the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.

³⁹ On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,

⁴⁰ the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.

⁴¹ Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.

⁴² Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster to cover the stones in the walls of the house.

⁴³ If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,

⁴⁴ the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys houses, and no one will be allowed to live in it.

⁴⁵ It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.

⁴⁶ Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.

⁴⁷ Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house during that time must wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.

⁴⁹ But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.

⁵⁰ He must kill one of the birds while holding it over a clay pot containing water from a spring.

⁵¹ Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.

⁵² By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.

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

³⁴ Whenever you° shall enter into the land of the Chananites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;

³⁵ then the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague in the house.

³⁶ And the priest shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest comes in to see the plague, and thus none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to examine the house.

³⁷ And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house, he will see greenish or reddish cavities, and the appearance of them will be beneath the surface of the walls.

³⁸ And the priest shall come out of the house to the door of the house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall return on the seventh day and view the house; and, behold, if the plague is spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall give orders, and they shall take away the stones in which the plague is, and shall cast them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴¹ And they shall scrape the house within round about, and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the former stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague should return again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house is scraped, and after it has been plastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And they shall take down the house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ And he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.

⁴⁷ And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening.

⁴⁸ and if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and behold the plague be not at all spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall declare the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to purify the house two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ And he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living bird; and shall dip it into the blood of the bird slain over running water, and with them he shall sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² and he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the spun scarlet.

³³ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴ “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

³⁵ then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’

³⁶ The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

³⁷ He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall,

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city.

⁴¹ He shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over. They shall pour out the mortar that they scraped off outside of the city into an unclean place.

⁴² They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ “If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.

⁴⁵ He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ “Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷ He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ “If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

³³ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴ “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

³⁴ When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,

³⁵ Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

³⁶ And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

³⁷ And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

³⁸ Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:

³⁹ And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

⁴⁰ Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:

⁴¹ And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

⁴² And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

⁴³ And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

⁴⁴ Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.

⁴⁶ And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

⁴⁷ And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.

⁴⁸ And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.

⁴⁹ And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;

⁵⁰ And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water;

⁵¹ And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

⁵² And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread.

³³ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴ When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a leprous plague in a house of the land of your possession,

³⁵ then he whose house it is shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me like a plague in the house;

³⁶ and the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to see the house.

³⁷ And when he looketh on the plague, and behold, the plague is in the walls of the house, greenish or reddish hollows, and their look is deeper than the surface of the wall,

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the entrance of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them out of the city, in an unclean place.

⁴¹ And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they have scraped off, out of the city in an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and they shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the house, it is a corroding leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And they shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and shall carry them forth out of the city to an unclean place.

⁴⁶ And he that goeth into the house as long as it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁷ And he that sleepeth in the house shall wash his garments, and he that eateth in the house shall wash his garments.

⁴⁸ But if the priest shall come in and look, and behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house hath been plastered, the priest shall pronounce the house clean; for the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take, to purge the house from the defilement, two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

⁵⁰ and he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water;

⁵¹ and he shall take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times;

⁵² and he shall purge the house from the defilement with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

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

³⁴ When 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,

³⁵ He 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,

³⁶ And 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.

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

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

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

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

⁴¹ And 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:

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

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

⁴⁴ The 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:

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

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

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

⁴⁸ But 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,

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

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

⁵¹ He 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:

⁵² And 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.

³³ Then the Lord told Moses and Aaron,

³⁴ “When you get to Canaan, the land I'm giving you to own, if I put some mold into a house there and contaminate it,

³⁵ the owner of the house must come and tell the priest, ‘It seems my house has something like mold.’

³⁶ The priest must order the house to be emptied before he goes in to inspect the mold, so that nothing in the house will be declared unclean. Once that's done, the priest is to go in and inspect the house.

³⁷ He will examine the house and see whether the mold on the walls is made up of green or red indentations that go under the surface,

³⁸ the priest shall go out of door and seal the house for seven days.

³⁹ On the seventh day the priest will return and inspect the house again. If the mold has spread on the walls,

⁴⁰ he will order the affected stones to be removed and disposed of in an unclean area outside the town.

⁴¹ Then he will order the all the plaster inside of the house to be scraped off and dumped in an unclean area outside the town.

⁴² Different stones must be used to replace the ones removed, and new plaster will be needed replaster the house.

⁴³ If the mold returns and affects the house again even after the stones have been removed and the house has been scraped and replastered,

⁴⁴ the priest must come and inspect it. If he sees the mold has spread in the house, it is a harmful mold; the house is unclean.

⁴⁵ It must be demolished, and all its stones, timbers, and plaster must be taken and dumped in an unclean area outside the town.

⁴⁶ Anyone who goes into the house during any time that it is sealed will be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷ Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes.

⁴⁸ However, if when the priest comes and inspects it and finds that the mold hasn't reappeared after the house was replastered, he shall declare the house clean because the mold is gone.

⁴⁹ He will bring two birds, cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop to make the house clean.

⁵⁰ He will kill one of the birds over a clay pot filled with fresh water.

⁵¹ He will dip the live bird, the cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop, in the blood of the bird that was killed and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² He will make the house clean with the bird's blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the crimson thread.

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

³⁴ When 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,

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

³⁶ Then 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,

³⁷ And 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,

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

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

⁴⁰ Then 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.

⁴¹ Also 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.

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

⁴³ But 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,

⁴⁴ Then 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.

⁴⁵ And 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ But 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.

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

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

⁵¹ And 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:

⁵² So 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.

³³ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

³⁴ When ye are come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

³⁵ then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying: 'There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house.'

³⁶ And the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go in to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.

³⁷ And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the wall;

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city.

⁴¹ And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that the stones have been taken out, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it is plastered;

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.

³³ And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴ When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

³⁵ and he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

³⁶ then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

³⁷ and he shall look on the plague, and behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

³⁹ and the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

⁴¹ and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

⁴² and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come and look, and behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

⁵⁰ and he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

⁵¹ and he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

⁵² and he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

³³ And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

³⁴ When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy on a house of the land of your possession:

³⁵ Then shall he that owneth the house come and tell the priest, saying, Something like a leprosy hath shown itself to me in the house.

³⁶ And the priest shall command that they clear out the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all be not made unclean that is in the house: and after this shall the priest go in to see the house.

³⁷ And he shall view the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house, in depressions, dark green or dark red, and their appearance be deeper than the wall:

³⁸ Then shall the priest go out of the house to the door of the house, and lock up the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall come again on the seventh day; and if he see, that, behold, the plague have spread in the walls of the house:

⁴⁰ Then shall the priest command that they break out the stones on which the plague is; and they shall cast them forth without the city on an unclean place.

⁴¹ And the house he shall cause to be scraped within round about; and they shall pour out the rubbish that they have scraped off without the city on an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put them into the place of these stones; and other mortar shall he take, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it hath been plastered:

⁴⁴ Then shall the priest come; and if he see that, behold, the plague have spread in the house, it is a corrosive leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And he shall break down the house, its stones, and the timbers thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth to without the city, unto an unclean place.

⁴⁶ And he that goeth into the house, all the days that it is locked up, shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷ And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ But if the priest should come in, and see, and, behold, the plague have not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then shall the priest pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take, to atone for the house, two birds, and cedar wood, and a string of scarlet yarn, and hyssop;

⁵⁰ And he shall kill the one bird in an earthen vessel over running water;

⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle on the house seven times:

⁵² And he shall atone for the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the string of scarlet yarn;

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

³⁴ Whensoever ye shall enter into the land of the Canaanites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;

³⁵ then the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague in the house.

³⁶ And the priest shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest comes in to see the plague, and thus none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house.

³⁷ And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house, he will see greenish or reddish cavities, and the appearance of them will be beneath the surface of the walls.

³⁸ And the priest shall come out of the house to the door of the house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall return on the seventh day and view the house; and, behold, if the plague is spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall give orders, and they shall take away the stones in which the plague is, and shall cast them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴¹ And they shall scrape the house within round about, and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the former stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster the house.

⁴³ And if the plague should return again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house is scraped, and after it has been plastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And they shall take down the house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ And he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.

⁴⁷ And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening.

⁴⁸ And if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and behold the plague be not at all spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall declare the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ And he shall take to purify the house two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ And he shall slay one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ And he shall take the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living bird; and shall dip it into the blood of the bird slain over running water, and with them he shall sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² And he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the spun scarlet.

³³ And the Lord spake with Mosheh and to Aharon, saying:

³⁴ When you have entered the land of Kenaan, which I will give unto you for a possession; and I have put the plague of leprosy upon a house in the land of your possession;

³⁵ And he who owns the house shall come and show to the priest, saying, There is a plague, as it appeareth to me, in the house:

³⁶ The priest shall direct that they turn out (all that is in) the house before the priest goeth in to inspect the plague; that all that is in the house be not (condemned as) unclean; and afterward the priest shall enter to survey the house.

³⁷ Then he shall look at the plague; and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house in seams, green or red, and they appear to be deeper than the (surface of the) wall,

³⁸ then the priest shall go out from the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ And the priest shall return on the seventh day, and look, and, behold, if the plague hath increased in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall order that they take down the stones of the house in which the plague is, and cast them without the town into an unclean place.

⁴¹ And they shall scrape the house within round about, and throw the plaster (dust) which they have scraped off without the town, into an unclean place.

⁴² And they shall take other stones, and insert them in the place of the former stones, and shall take other plaster and cover the house.

⁴³ And if the plague return and increase in the house after that the stones have been taken down, nad after they have scraped the house, and after it hath been plastered (anew);

⁴⁴ Then the priest shall enter, and, behold, if the plague hath increased in the house, it is a corroding leprosy in the house, it is unclean.

⁴⁵ And they shall break down the house, the stones of it, the timber, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them (have them carried) without the town unto an unclean place.

⁴⁶ And whoso goeth into the house all the days that it is shut up, shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷ And he who may sleep in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ But if the priest, having entered, shall look, and, behold, the plague hath not increased in the house after the house hath been plastered, the priest shall make (pronounce) the house to be clean, for the plague hath been cured.

⁴⁹ And he shall take, to purify the house, two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ And he shall kill the one bird in a vessel of pottery with spring water,

⁵¹ and take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird; and dip them in the blood of the bird which had been killed and in the spring water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² And he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the spring water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.

³³ Adonai spoke to Moses Drawn out and to Aaron Light-bringer, saying,

³⁴ “When you have come into the land of Canaan Humbled, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading tzara'at mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

³⁵ then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’

³⁶ The priest shall enjoin that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

³⁷ He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall enjoin that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:

⁴¹ and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.

⁴² They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ “If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive tzara'at mildew in the house. It is unclean.

⁴⁵ He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ “Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷ He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ “If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

³³ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴ “When you have come into the land of Canaan which I gave to you as a possession, and if I put mildew that spreads in a house in the land of your possession,

³⁵ then he who owns the house must come and tell the priest. He must say, 'There seems to me to be something like mildew in my house.'

³⁶ Then the priest will command that they empty the house before he goes in to see the evidence of mildew, so that nothing in the house will be made unclean. Afterward the priest must go in to see the house.

³⁷ He must examine the mildew to see if it is in the house walls, and to see whether it appears greenish or reddish in the depressions in the wall's surface.

³⁸ If the house does have mildew, then the priest will go out of the house and shut the door to the house for seven days.

³⁹ Then the priest will return again on the seventh day and examine it to see if the mildew has spread in the walls of the house.

⁴⁰ If it has, then the priest will command that they take out the stones in which the mildew has been found and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.

⁴¹ He will require all the inside walls of the house to be scraped, and they must take the contaminated material that is scraped off outside the city and dump it into the unclean place.

⁴² They must take other stones and put them in the place of the stones that were removed, and they must use new clay to plaster the house.

⁴³ If mildew comes again and breaks out in the house in which the stones have been taken away and the walls have been scraped and then replastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest must come in and examine the house to see if mildew has spread in the house. If it has, then it is harmful mildew, and the house is unclean.

⁴⁵ The house must be torn down. The stones, timber, and all the plaster in the house must be carried away out of the city to the unclean place.

⁴⁶ In addition, whoever goes into the house during the time it is closed up will be unclean until evening.

⁴⁷ Anyone who slept in the house must wash his clothes, and anyone who ate in the house must wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ If the priest enters the house to examine it to see whether the mildew has spread in the house after the house was plastered, then, if the mildew is gone, he will pronounce the house clean.

⁴⁹ Then the priest must take two birds to cleanse the house, and cedar wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ He will kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay jar.

⁵¹ He will take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the killed bird, into the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² He will cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the fresh water, with the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn.

³³ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

³⁴ “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

³⁵ then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’

³⁶ The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

³⁷ He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall,

³⁸ then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

³⁹ The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,

⁴⁰ then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city.

⁴¹ He shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over. They shall pour out the mortar that they scraped off outside of the city into an unclean place.

⁴² They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

⁴³ “If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered,

⁴⁴ then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.

⁴⁵ He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ “Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

⁴⁷ He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ “If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

⁴⁹ To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.

⁵¹ He shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

⁵² He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

³⁷ And when he seeth in the walls thereof as little valleys, or crevices, defouled with paleness, either with redness, and lower than the tother higher part,

³⁸ he shall go out at the door of the house, and anon he shall enclose it by seven days.

³⁹ And he shall turn again in the seventh day, and shall see it; and if he findeth that the leprosy hath increased,

⁴⁰ he shall command that the stones be cast out, in which the leprosy is, and that those stones be cast out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴³ But if after that the stones be taken away, and the dust is borne out, and with other earth is daubed,

⁴⁴ the priest entereth, and seeth the leprosy turned again, and the walls sprinkled with spots, the leprosy is then steadfastly dwelling, and the house is unclean;

⁴⁵ which house they shall destroy anon, and they shall cast out of the city, into an unclean place, the stones thereof, and the wood, and all the dust.

⁴⁶ He that entereth into the house, when it is shut, shall be unclean till to eventide,

⁴⁸ That if the priest entereth, and seeth that the leprosy increased not in the house, after that it was daubed the second time, the priest shall cleanse it; for health is yielded again thereto.

⁴⁹ And to the cleansing thereof, the priest shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and vermilion, that is, a red thread, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ And when one sparrow is offered in a vessel of earth, on quick waters,

³⁷ And when he seeth in the walls thereof as little valleys, or crevices, defouled with paleness, either with redness, and lower than the tother higher part, (And when he seeth little valleys, or little crevices, in its walls, defiled with paleness, or with redness, and lower than the other higher part,)

³⁸ he shall go out at the door of the house, and anon he shall close it by seven days. (he shall go out of the door of the house, and at once he shall close it up for seven days.)

³⁹ And he shall turn again in the seventh day (or And he shall return on the seventh day), and shall see it; and if he findeth that the leprosy hath increased,

⁴⁰ he shall command that the stones be cast out, in which the leprosy is, and that those stones be cast out of the city into an unclean place. (he shall command that the stones, on which the leprosy is found, be thrown out, and that those stones be thrown into an unclean place outside the city.)

⁴¹ Soothly he shall command that that house be razed within by compass, and that the dust of the razing be sprinkled without the city, in an unclean place,

⁴² and that other stones be put again for these, that be taken away, and that the house be daubed with other mortar.

⁴³ But if after that the stones be taken away, and the dust is borne out, and with other earth (it) is daubed (or and it is daubed with other mortar),

⁴⁴ the priest entereth, and seeth the leprosy turned again, and the walls sprinkled with spots, the leprosy is then steadfastly dwelling, and the house is unclean; (the priest entereth, and seeth that the leprosy hath returned, and that the walls be sprinkled with spots, then the leprosy is steadfastly dwelling, and the house is unclean;)

⁴⁵ which house they shall destroy anon, and they shall cast out of the city, into an unclean place, the stones thereof, and the wood, and all the dust. (which house they shall destroy at once, and its stones, and its wood, and all of its dust, they shall throw into an unclean place outside the city.)

⁴⁶ He that entereth into the house, when it is shut (up), shall be unclean till to eventide,

⁴⁷ and he that sleepeth in it, and eateth anything therein, he shall wash his clothes.

⁴⁸ That if the priest entereth, and seeth that the leprosy increased not in the house, after that it was daubed the second time, the priest shall cleanse it; for health is yielded again thereto. (But if the priest entereth, and seeth that the leprosy hath not grown again, or not spread, in the house, after that it was daubed the second time, the priest shall pronounce it to be clean; for health hath been restored to it, that is, the plague hath been cured.)

⁴⁹ And to the cleansing thereof (or And for its cleansing), the priest shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and vermilion, that is, a red thread, and hyssop.

⁵⁰ And when one sparrow is offered in a vessel of earth, on quick waters, (And when one sparrow is offered in an earthen, or a clay, vessel, filled with fresh water,)

⁵¹ the priest shall take the cedar wood, and hyssop, and the red thread, and the quick sparrow, and he shall dip, or wet, all these things in the blood of the sparrow offered, or slain, and in the quick waters; and he shall sprinkle the house seven times; (the priest shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the red thread, and the living sparrow, and he shall dip all these things in the blood of the slain sparrow, and in the fresh water; and he shall sprinkle the house seven times;)

⁵² and he shall cleanse it as well in the blood of the sparrow, as in the living waters, and in the quick sparrow, and in the cedar wood, and in the hyssop, and (the) red thread. (and so he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the sparrow, and the fresh water, and the living sparrow, and the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the red thread.)

³³ And the Lord spak to Moises and Aaron, and seide,

³⁴ Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond of Canaan, which lond Y schal yyue to you in to possessioun, if the wounde of lepre is in the housis,

³⁵ he schal go, whos the hous is, `and schal telle to the preest, and schal seie, It semeth to me, that as a wound of lepre is in myn hous.

³⁶ And the preest schal comaunde, `that thei bere out of the hous alle thingis bifore that he entre in to it, `and me se where it be lepre, lest alle thingis that ben in the hows, be maad vnclene; and the preest schal entre aftirward, that he se the lepre of the hows.

³⁷ And whanne he seeth in the wallis therof as litle valeis `foule bi palenesse, ethir bi reednesse, and lowere than the tother hiyere part,

³⁸ he schal go out at the dore of the hows, and anoon he schal close it bi seuene daies.

³⁹ And he schal turne ayen in the seuenthe day, and schal se it; if he fyndith that the lepre encreesside,

⁴⁰ he schal comaunde that the stoonys be cast out, in whyche the lepre is, and that tho stonys be cast out of the citee in an vncleene place.

⁴¹ Sotheli he schal comaunde that thilke hows be rasid with ynne bi cumpas, and that the dust of the rasyng be spreynt without the citee, in an vnclene place,

⁴² and that othere stoonys be put ayen for these, that ben takun awey, and that the hows be daubid with othir morter.

⁴³ But if aftir that the stoonus ben takun awey, and the dust is borun out,

⁴⁴ and othere erthe is daubid, the preest entrith, and seeth the lepre turned ayen, and the wallis spreynt with spottis, the lepre is stidfastly dwellynge, and the hows is vnclene;

⁴⁵ which hows thei schulen destrye anoon, and thei schulen caste out of the citee, in an vnclene place, the stoonys therof, and the trees, and al the dust.

⁴⁶ He that entrith in to the hous, whanne it is schit, schal be vnclene `til to euentid,

⁴⁷ and he that slepith and etith ony thing therynne, schal waische hise clothis.

⁴⁸ That if the preest entrith, and seeth that the lepre encreesside not in the hows, aftir that it was daubid the secounde tyme, he schal clense it; for heelthe is yoldun.

⁴⁹ And in the clensyng therof he schal take twey sparewis, and `a tre of cedre, and `a reed threed, and isope.

⁵⁰ And whanne o sparewe is offrid in a vessel of erthe, on quyk watris,

³³ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

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;

³⁵ then hath he whose the house is come in and declared to the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the house;

³⁶ and 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;

³⁷ and 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,

³⁸ and 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,

⁴⁰ and 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;

⁴¹ and 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;

⁴² and 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;

⁴⁴ then 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.

⁴⁶ 'And he who is going in unto the house all the days he hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening;

⁴⁷ and he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments; and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments.

⁴⁸ 'And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean, for the plague hath been healed.

⁴⁹ 'And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

⁵⁰ and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water;

⁵¹ and he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath sprinkled upon the house seven times.

⁵² 'And he hath cleansed the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;
