as a possession, and I put a plague of leprosy in a house in the land of your
possession,
Lev 14:35 then shall the one who owns the house come and inform the
priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is some plague in the house.’
Lev 14:36 “And the priest shall command, and they shall empty the house,
before the priest goes in to look at the plague, so that all that is in the house is
not made unclean. And after that the priest goes in to look at the house.
Lev 14:37 “And he shall look at the plague and see, if the plague is on the
walls of the house with sunken places, greenish or reddish, which appear to
be deep in the wall,
Lev 14:38 then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house,
and shut up the house seven days.
Lev 14:39 “And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look and
see, if the plague has spread on the walls of the house,
Lev 14:40 then the priest shall command, and they shall remove the stones
with the plague in them, and they shall throw them outside the city, into an
unclean place,
Lev 14:41 while he lets the house be scraped inside, all around, and the dust
that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.
Lev 14:42 “And they shall take other stones and put them in the place of
those stones, and take other mortar and plaster the house.
Lev 14:43 “And if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after
he has removed the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is
plastered,
Lev 14:44 then the priest shall come and look and see, if the plague has
spread in the house, it is an active leprosy in the house, it is unclean.

and he who eats in the house has to wash his garments.

running water, and shall sprinkle the house seven times.

the running water and the live bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the
hyssop, and with the scarlet,

field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
Lev 14:54 “This is the Torah for any infection of leprosy, and eruption,
Lev 14:55 and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

Lev 14:57 to teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the Torah
of leprosy.”
