LEVITICUS 14:42-57

⁴²and 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.

⁴³And 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;

⁴⁴then 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.

⁴⁵And 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.

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

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

⁴⁸And if the priest shall come in, and look, 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.

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

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

⁵¹and 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:

⁵²and 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:

⁵³but he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open field: so shall he make atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

⁵⁴This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for a scall;

⁵⁵and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house;

⁵⁶and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

⁵⁷to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
