Leviticus 14:39-57 ▼

39 So the Priest shall come againe ye seuenth day: and if he see that the plague bee increased in the walles of the house,

40 Then the Priest shall commande them to take away the stones wherein the plague is, and they shall cast them into a foule place without the citie.

41 Also hee shall cause to scrape the house within rounde about, and powre the dust, that they haue pared off, without the citie in an vncleane place.

42 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the places of those stones, and shall take other mortar, to plaister the house with.

43 But if the plague come againe and breake out in the house, after that he hath taken away ye stones, and after that hee hath scraped and playstered the house,

44 Then the Priest shall come and see: and if the plague growe in the house, it is a freating leprosie in the house: it is therefore vncleane.

45 And hee shall breake downe the house, with the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and hee shall carie them out of the citie vnto an vncleane place.

46 Moreouer he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut vp, hee shall bee vncleane vntill the euen.

47 Hee also that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes: he likewise that eateth in the house, shall wash his clothes.

48 But if the Priest shall come and see, that the plague hath spread no further in the house, after the house be plaistered, the Priest shall pronounce that house cleane, for the plague is healed.

49 Then shal he take to purifie the house, two sparrowes, and cedar wood, and skarlet lace, and hyssope.

50 And hee shall kill one sparowe ouer pure water in an earthen vessell,

51 And shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssope, and the skarlet lace with the liue sparow, and dip them in the blood of the slayne sparow, and in the pure water, and sprinkle the house seuen times:

52 So shall hee clense the house with ye blood of the sparowe, & with the pure water, and with the liue sparowe, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssope, and with the skarlet lace.

53 Afterwarde he shal let go the liue sparowe out of the towne into the broad fieldes: so shal he make atonement for the house, and it shal be cleane.

54 This is the law for euery plague of leprosie and blacke spot,

55 And of the leprosie of the garment, and of the house,

56 And of the swelling, and of the skab, and of the white spot.

57 This is the lawe of the leprosie to teache when a thing is vncleane, & when it is cleane.
