* "
When you come into the land of Canaan ,
which I give you for a possession ,
and I put a leprous disease in a house in the land of your possession ,
*
then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest , `
There seems to me to be some sort of disease in my house .'
*
Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease ,
lest all that is in the house be declared unclean ;
and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house .
*
And he shall examine the disease ;
and if the disease is in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish spots ,
and if it appears to be deeper than the surface ,
*
then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house ,
and shut up the house seven days .
*
And the priest shall come again on the seventh day ,
and look ;
and if the disease has spread in the walls of the house ,
*
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 ;
*
and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped round about ,
and the plaster that they scrape off they shall pour into an unclean place outside the city ;
*
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 .
* "
If the disease breaks out again in the house ,
after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it ,
*
then the priest shall go and look ;
and if the disease has spread in the house ,
it is a malignant leprosy in the house ;
it is unclean .
*
And he shall break down the house ,
its stones and timber and all the plaster of the house ;
and he shall carry them forth out of the city to an unclean place .
