Vayikra 14:47-57 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

47. And he that reclineth in the bais shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the bais shall wash his clothes.

48. And if the kohen shall come in, and examine it, and, hinei, the nega hath not spread in the bais, after the bais was plastered, then the kohen shall pronounce the bais tahor (clean), because the nega is healed.

49. And he shall take to purify the bais two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet thread, and hyssop;

50. And he shall kill (shachat) the one of the birds in a clay vessel over mayim chayyim (running water);

51. And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet thread, and the living bird, and dip them in the dahm of the slain bird, and in the mayim chayyim (running water), and sprinkle the bais seven times;

52. And he shall cleanse the bais with the dahm of the bird, and with the mayim hachayyim (running water), and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet thread;

53. But he shall release the living bird outside the town into the open field, and make kapporah for the bais; and it shall be tahor.

54. This is the torah for all manner of nega tzara'at, and nesek (scale),

55. And for the tzara'at of a garment, and of a bais,

56. And for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot

57. To teach when it is tamei, and when it is tahor: this is the torat tzara'at.
