Leviticus 14:38-46 ▼

38 then the priest shall come out of the house, to the doorway, and put the house under isolation for seven days.

39 And the priest shall return on the seventh day and look again. If the mark has indeed spread in the walls of the house,

40 then the priest shall command them to tear out the stones with the mark in them and throw them away at an unclean place outside the city.

41 And he shall have the house scraped all around inside, and they shall pour out the plaster that they scrape off at an unclean place outside the city.

42 Then they shall take other stones and replace those stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.

43 “If, however, the mark breaks out again in the house after he has torn out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,

44 then the priest shall come in and look again. If he sees that the mark has indeed spread in the house, it is a leprous malignancy in the house; it is unclean.

45 He shall therefore tear down the house, its stones and its timbers and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.

46 Moreover, whoever goes into the house during the time that he has put it under isolation becomes unclean until evening.
