¹⁹ And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. ²⁰ So the word of the Lord ^(A)continued to increase and prevail mightily.

²² Then you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your gold-plated metal images. ^(A)You will scatter them as unclean things. You will say to them, “Be gone!”

²⁵ The carved images of their gods ^(A)you shall burn with fire. You ^(B)shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ^(C)ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. ²⁶ And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction^[a] like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, ^(D)for it is devoted to destruction.

⁴⁴ then the priest shall go and look. And if the disease has spread in the house, it is a ^(A)persistent leprous disease in the house; it is unclean. ⁴⁵ And 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.

³⁵ And everything on which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean. Whether oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean and shall remain unclean for you.

³³ And if any of them falls into any earthenware vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you ^(A)shall break it.
