Leviticus 14:34-46 in English

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.

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.

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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;
