33. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
34. “When you enter the land of Canaan which I am about to give to you for a possession, and I put a diseased infection in a house in the land you are to possess,
35. then whoever owns the house must come and declare to the priest, ‘Something like an infection is visible to me in the house.’
36. Then the priest will command that the house be cleared before the priest enters to examine the infection so that everything in the house does not become unclean, and afterward the priest will enter to examine the house.
37. He is to examine the infection, and if the infection in the walls of the house consists of yellowish green or reddish eruptions, and it appears to be deeper than the surface of the wall,
38. then the priest is to go out of the house to the doorway of the house and quarantine the house for seven days.
39. The priest must return on the seventh day and examine it, and if the infection has spread in the walls of the house,
40. then the priest is to command that the stones that had the infection in them be pulled and thrown outside the city into an unclean place.
41. Then he is to have the house scraped all around on the inside, and the plaster which is scraped off must be dumped outside the city into an unclean place.
42. They are then to take other stones and replace those stones, and he is to take other plaster and replaster the house.
43. “If the infection returns and breaks out in the house after he has pulled out the stones, scraped the house, and it is replastered,
44. the priest is to come and examine it, and if the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant disease in the house. It is unclean.
