Leviticus 14:28-43 English Standard Version (ESV)

28. And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the lobe of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, in the place where the blood of the guilt offering was put.

29. And the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the Lord.

30. And he shall offer, of the turtledoves or pigeons, whichever he can afford,

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

40. then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the disease and throw them into an unclean place outside the city.

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

42. Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house.
