Leviticus 14:42-50 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

42. Then they shall take other stones and replace those stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.

43. "If, however, the mark breaks out again in the house after he has torn out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,

44. then the priest shall come in and make an inspection. If he sees that the mark has indeed spread in the house, it is a malignant mark in the house; it is unclean.

45. He shall therefore tear down the house, its stones, and its timbers, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.

46. Moreover, whoever goes into the house during the time that he has quarantined it, becomes unclean until evening.

47. Likewise, whoever lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48. "If, on the other hand, the priest comes in and makes an inspection and the mark has not indeed spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the mark has not reappeared.

49. To cleanse the house then, he shall take two birds and cedar wood and a scarlet string and hyssop,

50. and he shall slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water.
