42. And they shall take other stones, and they shall put them in place of those stones, and they shall take other plaster, and they shall replaster the house.
43. “But if the infection should return and it breaks out in the house after they have removed the stones and after scraping off the plaster of the house and after it has been replastered,
44. then the priest shall come, and he shall examine the infection, and if the infection has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house—it is unclean.
45. So he shall break down the house, its stones and its wood and all of the house’s plaster, and he shall bring it all outside the city to an unclean place.
46. And the person who enters into the house during all the days that he confined it shall become unclean until the evening.
47. And the person who sleeps in the house must wash his garments, and the person who eats in the house shall wash his garments.
48. “And if the priest comes again and examines the house and if the infection has not spread in the house after being replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the infection is healed.
49. And he shall take two birds and cedar wood and a crimson thread and hyssop to cleanse the house;
50. and he shall slaughter the first bird over fresh water on a clay vessel.
51. Then he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the crimson thread and the living bird, and he shall dip them in the slaughtered bird’s blood and in the fresh water, and he shall spatter them on the house seven times.
52. Thus he shall purify the house with the bird’s blood and with the fresh water and with the living bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the crimson thread.
53. And he shall send the living bird outside the city into the open field; and so he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
54. “This is the instruction for any infectious skin disease and for the diseased area of skin,
55. and for a mildew of the garment and for the house,
56. and for the swelling and for the epidermal eruption and for the spot,
57. to teach when something is unclean and when something is clean. This is the regulation of the infectious skin disease.”
