Leviticus 14:19-52
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
19The priest shall next offer the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Then afterward, he shall slaughter the burnt offering. 20The priest shall offer up the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be clean.
21But if he is poor and his means are insufficient, then he is to take one male lamb for a guilt offering as a wave offering to make atonement for him, and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and a log of oil,
22and two turtledoves or two young doves, which are within his means. The one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23Then on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, at the doorway of the tent of meeting, before the Lord.
24The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall offer them as a wave offering before the Lord.
25Next he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering; and the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26The priest shall also pour some of the oil into his left palm;
27and with his right-hand finger the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the Lord.
28The priest shall then put some of the oil that is in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering.
29Moreover, the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s palm, he shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement on his behalf before the Lord.
30He shall then offer one of the turtledoves or young doves, which are within his means.
31He shall offer what he can afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.
32This is the law for him in whom there is an infection of leprosy, whose means are limited for his cleansing.'
34When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as a possession, and I put a spot of leprosy on a house in the land of your possession,
35then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘ Something like a spot of leprosy has become visible to me in the house.’
36The priest shall then command that they empty the house before the priest goes in to look at the spot, so that everything in the house need not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to look at the house.
37So he shall look at the spot, and if the spot on the walls of the house has greenish or reddish depressions and appears deeper than the surface,
38the priest shall come out of the house, to the doorway, and quarantine the house for seven days.
39Then the priest shall return on the seventh day and make an inspection. If the spot has indeed spread on the walls of the house,
40the priest shall order them to pull out the stones with the spot on them and throw them away at an unclean place outside the city.
41And he shall have the house scraped all around inside, and they shall dump the plaster that they scrape off at an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they shall take other stones and replace the discarded stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.
43If, however, the spot breaks out again in the house after he has pulled out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,
44then the priest shall come in and make an inspection. If he sees that the spot has indeed spread in the house, it is a malignant spot in the house; it is unclean.
45The owner shall therefore tear down the house, its stones, its timbers, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.
46Moreover, whoever goes into the house during the time that he has quarantined it, becomes unclean until evening.
47Likewise, whoever lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48If, on the other hand, the priest comes in and makes an inspection and the spot has not indeed spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the spot has not reappeared.
49To cleanse the house then, he shall take two birds, cedar wood, a scarlet string, and hyssop,
50and he shall slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water.
51Then he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet string, with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird as well as in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52So he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water, along with the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet string.
King James Version
Chapter 14
19And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering: 20And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. 21And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil; 22And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord.
24And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:
25And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord:
28And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:
29And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord.
30And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
31Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.
32This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
33And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
34When 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;
35And 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:
36Then 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:
37And 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;
38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
40Then 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:
41And 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:
42And 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.
43And 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;
44Then 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.
45And 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.
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 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.
49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50And he shall kill the 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:

Chapter 14
19The priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he will slaughter the burnt offering. 20The priest is to offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. The priest will make atonement for him, and he will be clean.
21"But if he is poor and cannot afford these, he is to take one male lamb for a guilt offering to be presented in order to make atonement for him, along with two quarts of fine flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, one-third of a quart of olive oil,
22and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whatever he can afford, one to be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
23On the eighth day he is to bring these things for his cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting before the Lord.
24The priest will take the male lamb for the guilt offering and the one-third quart of olive oil, and present them as a presentation offering before the Lord.
25After he slaughters the male lamb for the guilt offering, the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26Then the priest will pour some of the oil into his left palm.
27With his right finger the priest will sprinkle some of the oil in his left palm seven times before the Lord.
28The priest will also put some of the oil in his palm on the right earlobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the same place as the blood of the guilt offering.
29What is left of the oil in the priest’s palm he is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed to make atonement for him before the Lord.
30He is to then sacrifice one type of what he can afford, either the turtledoves or young pigeons,
31one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, sacrificing what he can afford together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord for the one to be cleansed.
32This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing."
33The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
34"When you enter the land of Canaan that I am giving you as a possession, and I place a mildew contamination in a house in the land you possess,
35the owner of the house is to come and tell the priest: Something like mildew contamination has appeared in my house.
36The priest must order them to clear the house before he enters to examine the contamination, so that nothing in the house becomes unclean. Afterward the priest will come to examine the house.
37He will examine it, and if the contamination in the walls of the house consists of green or red indentations that appear to be beneath the surface of the wall,
38the priest is to go outside the house to its doorway and quarantine the house for seven days.
39The priest is to return on the seventh day and examine it. If the contamination has spread on the walls of the house,
40the priest must order that the stones with the contamination be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.
41He is to have the inside of the house completely scraped, and have the plaster that is scraped off dumped in an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they are to take different stones to replace the former ones and take additional plaster to replaster the house.
43"If the contamination reappears in the house after the stones have been pulled out, and after the house has been scraped and replastered,
44the priest is to come and examine it. If the contamination has spread in the house, it is harmful mildew; the house is unclean.
45It must be torn down with its stones, its beams, and all its plaster, and taken outside the city to an unclean place.
46Whoever enters the house during any of the days the priest quarantines it will be unclean until evening.
47Whoever lies down in the house is to wash his clothes, and whoever eats in it is to wash his clothes.
48"But when the priest comes and examines it, if the contamination has not spread in the house after it was replastered, he is to pronounce the house clean because the contamination has disappeared.
49He is to take two birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop to purify the house,
50and he is to slaughter one of the birds over a clay pot containing fresh water.
51He will take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn, and the live bird, dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52He will purify the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn.
New Living Translation
Chapter 14
19Then the priest must present the sin offering to purify the person who was cured of the skin disease. After that, the priest will slaughter the burnt offering 20and offer it on the altar along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person who was healed, and the person will be ceremonially clean.
21But anyone who is too poor and cannot afford these offerings may bring one male lamb for a guilt offering, to be lifted up as a special offering for purification. The person must also bring two quarts of choice flour moistened with olive oil for the grain offering and a cup of olive oil.
22The offering must also include two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. One of the pair must be used for the sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
23On the eighth day of the purification ceremony, the person being purified must bring the offerings to the priest in the Lord’s presence at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
24The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering, along with the olive oil, and lift them up as a special offering to the Lord.
25Then the priest will slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering. He will take some of its blood and apply it to the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
26The priest will also pour some of the olive oil into the palm of his own left hand.
27He will dip his right finger into the oil in his palm and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord.
28The priest will then apply some of the oil in his palm over the blood from the guilt offering that is on the lobe of the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot of the person being purified.
29The priest will apply the oil remaining in his hand to the head of the person being purified. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the Lord.
30Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford.
31One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the Lord.
32These are the instructions for purification for those who have recovered from a serious skin disease but who cannot afford to bring the offerings normally required for the ceremony of purification.'
33Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
34When you arrive in Canaan, the land I am giving you as your own possession, I may contaminate some of the houses in your land with mildew.
35The owner of such a house must then go to the priest and say, ‘It appears that my house has some kind of mildew.’
36Before the priest goes in to inspect the house, he must have the house emptied so nothing inside will be pronounced ceremonially unclean.
37Then the priest will go in and examine the mildew on the walls. If he finds greenish or reddish streaks and the contamination appears to go deeper than the wall’s surface,
38the priest will step outside the door and put the house in quarantine for seven days.
39On the seventh day the priest must return for another inspection. If he finds that the mildew on the walls of the house has spread,
40the priest must order that the stones from those areas be removed. The contaminated material will then be taken outside the town to an area designated as ceremonially unclean.
41Next the inside walls of the entire house must be scraped thoroughly and the scrapings dumped in the unclean place outside the town.
42Other stones will be brought in to replace the ones that were removed, and the walls will be replastered.
43But if the mildew reappears after all the stones have been replaced and the house has been scraped and replastered,
44the priest must return and inspect the house again. If he finds that the mildew has spread, the walls are clearly contaminated with a serious mildew, and the house is defiled.
45It must be torn down, and all its stones, timbers, and plaster must be carried out of town to the place designated as ceremonially unclean.
46Those who enter the house during the period of quarantine will be ceremonially unclean until evening,
47and all who sleep or eat in the house must wash their clothing.
48But if the priest returns for his inspection and finds that the mildew has not reappeared in the house after the fresh plastering, he will pronounce it clean because the mildew is clearly gone.
49To purify the house the priest must take two birds, a stick of cedar, some scarlet yarn, and a hyssop branch.
50He will slaughter one of the birds over a clay pot filled with fresh water.
51He will take the cedar stick, the hyssop branch, the scarlet yarn, and the live bird, and dip them into the blood of the slaughtered bird and into the fresh water. Then he will sprinkle the house seven times.
52When the priest has purified the house in exactly this way,
English Standard Version
Chapter 14
19The priest shall offer the sin offering, to make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. And afterward he shall kill the burnt offering. 20And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21"But if he is poor and cannot afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil;
22also two turtledoves or two pigeons, whichever he can afford. The one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
23And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, before the Lord.
24And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord.
25And he shall kill the lamb of the guilt offering. And the priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
26And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,
27and shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.
28And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, in the place where the blood of the guilt offering was put.
29And the rest of the oil that is in the priest 's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the Lord.
30And he shall offer, of the turtledoves or pigeons, whichever he can afford,
31one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, along with a grain offering. And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for him who is being cleansed.
32This is the law for him in whom is a case of leprous disease, who cannot afford the offerings for his cleansing."
33The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
34"When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a case of leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession,
35then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘There seems to me to be some case of disease in my house.’
36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all that is in the house be declared unclean. And afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.
37And he shall examine the disease. And if the disease is in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots, and if it appears to be deeper than the surface,
38then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house and shut up the house seven days.
39And the priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the disease has spread in the walls of the house,
40then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the disease and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.
41And he shall have the inside of the house scraped all around, and the plaster that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house.
43"If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it,
44then the priest shall go and look. And if the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprous disease in the house; it is unclean.
45And he shall break down the house, its stones and timber and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city to an unclean place.
46Moreover, whoever enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening,
47and whoever sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48"But if the priest comes and looks, and if the disease has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the disease is healed.
49And for the cleansing of the house he shall take two small birds, with cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop,
50and shall kill one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh water
51and shall take the cedarwood and the hyssop and the scarlet yarn, along with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed and in the fresh water and sprinkle the house seven times.
52Thus he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the fresh water and with the live bird and with the cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn.
New International Version
Chapter 14
19"Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from their uncleanness. After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering 20and offer it on the altar, together with the grain offering, and make atonement for them, and they will be clean.
21"If, however, they are poor and cannot afford these, they must take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for them, together with a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of oil,
22and two doves or two young pigeons, such as they can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
23"On the eighth day they must bring them for their cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting, before the Lord.
24The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering, together with the log of oil, and wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.
25He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.
26The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,
27and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before the Lord.
28Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering—on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.
29The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the Lord.
30Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,
31one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed."
33The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
34"When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mold in a house in that land,
35the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’
36The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house.
37He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,
38the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.
39On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls,
40he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.
41He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town.
42Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.
43"If the defiling mold reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered,
44the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mold has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mold; the house is unclean.
45It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place.
46"Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening.
47Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes.
48"But if the priest comes to examine it and the mold has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the defiling mold is gone.
49To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop.
50He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.
51Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn.
New King James Version
Chapter 14
19“Then the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering. 20And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21“But if he is poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb as a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, a log of oil,
22and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
23He shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, before the Lord.
24And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.
25Then he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand.
27Then the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.
28And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
29The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the Lord.
30And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he can afford—
31such as he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the Lord.
32This is the law for one who had a leprous sore, who cannot afford the usual cleansing.”
33And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
34“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and I put the leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession,
35and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is some plague in the house,’
36then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house.
37And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be deep in the wall,
38then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
39And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house,
40then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city.
41And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.
42Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.
43“Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered,
44then the priest shall come and look; and indeed if the plague has spread in the house, it is an active leprosy in the house. It is unclean.
45And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place.
46Moreover he who goes into the house at all while it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.
47And he who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48“But if the priest comes in and examines it, and indeed 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.
49And he shall take, to cleanse the house, two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.
50Then he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water;
51and 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.
52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the running water and the living bird, with the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet.
