Leviticus 14:34-46

³⁴Whanne 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,

³⁵he 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.

³⁶And 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.

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

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

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

⁴⁰he 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.

⁴¹Sotheli 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,

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

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

⁴⁴and 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;

⁴⁵which 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.

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