Leviticus 14:40-57 ▼

40 and the priest has commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them to the outside of the city, to an unclean place;

41 and he causes the house to be scraped all around inside, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;

42 and they have taken other stones, and brought [them] to the place of the stones, and he takes other clay and has coated the house.

43 And if the plague returns, and has broken out in the house, after he has drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the coating,

44 then the priest has come in and seen, and behold, the plague has spread in the house; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house; it [is] unclean.

45 And he has broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he has brought [them] forth to the outside of the city, to an unclean place.

46 And he who is going into the house all the days he has shut it up, is unclean until the evening;

47 and he who is lying in the house washes his garments; and he who is eating in the house washes his garments.

48 And if the priest certainly comes in, and has seen, and behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the coating of the house, then the priest has pronounced the house clean, for the plague has been healed.

49 And he has taken two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop for the cleansing of the house;

50 and he has slaughtered one bird on an earthen vessel, over running water;

51 and he has taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and has dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and has sprinkled against the house seven times.

52 And he has cleansed the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

53 and he has sent the living bird away to the outside of the city to the face of the field, and has made atonement for the house, and it has been clean.

54 This [is] the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scale,

55 and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot—

57 to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.”
