Leviticus 14:42-57

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

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

⁴⁴the 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.

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

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

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

⁴⁸However, 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.

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

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

⁵¹He 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.

⁵²He 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.

⁵³Then he will let the live bird fly away outside the town. This is how he will make the house right, and it will be clean.

⁵⁴These are the regulations for any infectious skin disease, for a scabby infection,

⁵⁵for mold on clothing and in a house,

⁵⁶as well as for a swelling, rash, or spot.

⁵⁷They are used to decide whether something is clean or unclean. These are the regulations regarding skin diseases and mold.”
