38. the priest will exit the house, go to the front door, and quarantine the house for seven days.
39. On the seventh day, the priest will return. If he finds that the infection has spread over the walls of the house,
40. the priest will order the stones in which the infection is found to be pulled out and discarded outside the city in an unclean area.
41. The inside of the house will then be scraped on all sides, and the plaster that has been scraped off must be dumped outside the city in an unclean area.
42. Then different stones will be used in place of the first ones, and new coating will be used to replaster the house.
43. If the infection breaks out again in the house after the stones have been pulled out and the house scraped and replastered,
44. the priest will return. If he finds that the infection has spread throughout the house, it is a case of infectious skin disease in the house; the house is unclean.
45. The house must be destroyed—its stones, wood, and all the plaster in the house. All of it must be taken outside the city to an unclean area.
46. Anyone who enters the house during the entire period when it is quarantined will be unclean until evening.
47. Anyone who lies down in the house must wash their clothes. Anyone who eats in the house must also wash their clothes.
