Leviticus 14:34-57 ▼

34 When ye be come vnto the lande of Chanaan, which I geue you in possession, and yf I put the plague of leprosie in a house of the land of your possession:

35 He that oweth the house shall come, & tell the priest, saying: Me thinke that there is as it were a plague in ye house.

36 Then the priest shall comaunde them to emptie the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made vncleane: and the must the priest go in, to see the house.

37 And he shall see the plague: and yf the plague be in the walles of the house, & that there be hollowe strakes, greenish or reddishe, which seeme to be lower then the wall it selfe:

38 Then the priest shall go out of ye house, to the doore of the house, and shut vp the house seuen dayes.

39 And the priest shall come agayne the seuenth day, & yf he see that the plague be increased in the walles of the house,

40 Then the priest shall comaunde them to take away ye stones in which ye plague is, and let them cast them into a foule place without the citie,

41 And he shall commaunde the house to be scraped within rounde about, and powre out the dust that they scrape of, without the citie into a foule place.

42 And they shall take other stones, and put the in the place of those stones, and other morter to plaster ye house withall.

43 And if the plague come againe, & breake out in the house after that he hath taken away the stones and scraped the house, & after that he hath plastered the house,

44 Then the priest shall come and see it: & yf that the plague hath growen further in the house, it is a frettyng leprosie in the house, it is therfore vncleane.

45 And he shall breake downe the house, and the stones of it, and the timber therof, and all the morter of the house: and he shall cary them out of the citie into a foule place.

46 Moreouer, he that goeth into ye house all the whyle that it is shut vp, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen.

47 He also that sleepeth in the house, shal washe his clothes: he lykewyse that eateth in ye house, shall washe his clothes.

48 And yf the priest come and see that the plague hath spread no further in ye house after that it is newe plastered: the priest shall iudge that house cleane, because the plague is healed.

49 And let hym take to clense the house withall, two birdes, ceder wood, and a scarlet lase and ysope.

50 And he shal kill one of the birdes in an earthen vessell, & vpon runnyng water:

51 And take the ceder wood, and the ysope, and the scarlet lase with the lyuyng birde, and dippe them in the blood of the slayne birde, and in the runnyng water, & sprinckle the house seue tymes.

52 And he shall clense the house with the blood of ye birde, & with the running water, with the liuing birde, with the ceder wood, & the ysope, and the scarlet lase .

53 But he shall let the lyuyng birde flee out of the towne into the brode fieldes, & so make an attonement for the house, and it shalbe cleane.

54 This is the lawe for all maner plague of leprosie and fret,

55 And of the leprosie of garment & house,

56 For a swellyng, for a scabbe, and for a shynyng whyte,

57 To teache when it must be made vncleane, and cleane: this is the lawe of leprosie.
