Leviticus 14:33-45

Instructions for Cleansing Houses
33 Then[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 34 “When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am about to give to you as your possession, and I put mildew[b] in a house in the land of your possession, 35 then[c] the one who owns the house[d] shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘It appears to me that an infection is in the house.’ 36 And the priest shall issue a command, and they shall clear out the house before the priest comes to examine the infection, so that[e] all that is in the house might not become unclean; and afterward[f] the priest shall go to examine the house. 37 And he shall examine the infection, and if[g] the infection on the house’s wall has yellowish-green or reddish spots and its appearance is deeper than the surface of[h] the wall, 38 then[i] the priest shall go out from the house to the house’s entrance, and he shall confine[j] the house for seven days. 39 And the priest shall return on the seventh day, and he shall examine the infection,[k] and if[l] the infection has spread on the house’s wall, 40 the priest shall issue a command and they shall remove the stones on which is the infection, and they shall throw them outside the city[m] on an unclean place. 41 Then[n] they[o] shall scrape off the plaster[p] from all around the house, and they shall pour out the plaster,[q] which they scraped off, outside the city[r] on an unclean place. 42 And they shall take other stones, and they shall put[s] them in place of those stones, and they[t] shall take other plaster,[u] and they[v] shall replaster[w] the house.
43 “But[x] if the infection should return and it breaks out in the house after they[y] have removed the stones and after scraping off the plaster[z] of the house and after it has been replastered,[aa] 44 then[ab] the priest shall come, and he shall examine the infection,[ac] and if[ad] the infection has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew[ae] in the house—it is unclean. 45 So[af] he shall break down the house, its stones and its wood and all of the house’s plaster,[ag] and he shall bring it all[ah] outside the city[ai] to an unclean place.
