Leviticus 14:33-53

33The LordH3068 further spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, sayingH559:

34“1WhenH3588 you enterH935 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, whichH834 I giveH5414 you for a possessionH272, and I putH5414 a markH5061 of leprosyH6883 on a houseH1004 in the landH776 of your possessionH272, 35then the one whoH834 owns the houseH1004 shall comeH935 and tellH5046 the priestH3548, sayingH559, ‘Something like 2a markH5061 of leprosy has becomeH7200 visibleH7200 to me in the houseH1004.’ 36The priestH3548 shall then commandH6680 that they emptyH6437 the houseH1004 beforeH2962 the priestH3548 goesH935 in to lookH7200 at the markH5061, so that everythingH3605 in the houseH1004 need not becomeH2930 uncleanH2930; and afterwardH310H3651 the priestH3548 shall goH935 in to lookH7200 at the houseH1004. 37So he shall lookH7200 at the markH5061, and ifH2009 the markH5061 on the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 has greenishH3422 orH176 reddishH125 depressionsH8258 and appearsH4758 deeperH8217 thanH4480 the 3surfaceH7023, 38then the priestH3548 shall comeH3318 out of the houseH1004, to the 4doorwayH6607, and 5quarantineH5462 the houseH1004 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 39The priestH3548 shall returnH7725 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 and 6makeH7200 an inspectionH7200. IfH2009 the markH5061 has indeedH2009 spreadH6581 in the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004, 40then the priestH3548 shall orderH6680 them to tearH2502 out the stonesH68 with the markH5061 in them and throwH7993 them awayH7993 7at an uncleanH2931 placeH4725 outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892. 41He shall have the houseH1004 scrapedH7106 allH5439 aroundH5439 8insideH4480H1004, and they shall dumpH8210 the plasterH6083 that they scrapeH7096 offH7096 at an uncleanH2931 placeH4725 outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892. 42Then they shall takeH3947 otherH312 stonesH68 and replaceH8478H935 those stonesH68, and he shall takeH3947 otherH312 plasterH6083 and replasterH2902 the houseH1004.

43“IfH518, however, the markH5061 breaksH6524 out againH7725 in the houseH1004 afterH310 he has tornH2502 out the stonesH68 and scrapedH7096 the houseH1004, and afterH310 it has been replasteredH2902, 44then the priestH3548 shall comeH935 in and 9makeH7200 an inspectionH7200. IfH2009 he seesH2009 that the markH5061 has indeedH2009 spreadH6581 in the houseH1004, it is 10a malignantH3992 markH6883 in the houseH1004; it is uncleanH2931. 45He shall therefore tearH5422 downH5422 the houseH1004, its stonesH68, and its timbersH6086, and allH3605 the plasterH6083 of the houseH1004, and he shall takeH3318 them outsideH413H4480H2351 the cityH5892 to an 11uncleanH2931 placeH4725. 46Moreover, whoever goesH935 into the houseH1004 duringH3605 the timeH3117 that he has 12quarantinedH5462 it, becomesH2930 13uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 47Likewise, whoever liesH7901 downH7901 in the houseH1004 shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and whoever eatsH398 in the houseH1004 shall washH3526 his clothesH899.

48“IfH518, on the other hand, the priestH3548 comesH935 in and 14makesH7200 an inspectionH7200 and the markH5061 has not indeedH2009 spreadH6581 in the houseH1004 afterH310 the houseH1004 has been replasteredH2902, then the priestH3548 shall pronounceH2891 the houseH1004 cleanH2891 becauseH3588 the markH5061 has 15not reappearedH7495. 49To cleanseH2398 the houseH1004 then, he shall takeH3947 16twoH8147 birdsH6833 and cedarH730 woodH6086 and a 17scarletH8144 stringH8439 and hyssopH231, 50and he shall slaughterH7819 the oneH259 birdH6833 in an earthenwareH2789 vesselH3627 overH5921 18runningH2416 waterH4325. 51Then he shall takeH3947 the cedarH730 woodH6086 and the 19hyssopH231 and the 20scarletH8144 stringH8439, with the liveH2416 birdH6833, and dipH2881 them in the bloodH1818 of the slainH7819 birdH6833 as well as in the 21runningH2416 waterH4325, and sprinkleH5137 the houseH1004 sevenH7651 timesH6471. 52He shall thus cleanseH2398 the houseH1004 with the bloodH1818 of the birdH6833 and with the 22runningH2416 waterH4325, along with the liveH2416 birdH6833 and with the cedarH730 woodH6086 and with the hyssopH231 and with the 23scarletH8144 stringH8439. 53However, he shall let the liveH2416 birdH6833 goH7971 freeH7971 outsideH413H4480H2351 the cityH5892 into the openH6440 fieldH7704. So he shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 for the houseH1004, and it will be cleanH2891.”
