Leviticus 14:46-57
46Anyone who enters the house all the days the priest has quarantined it will be unclean until evening.
47Anyone who lies down in the house must wash his clothes. Anyone who eats in the house must wash his clothes.
48“If, however, the priest enters and examines it, and the infection has not spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest is to pronounce the house clean because the infection has been healed.
49Then he is to take two birds, a piece of cedar wood, a scrap of crimson fabric, and some twigs of hyssop to decontaminate the house,
50and he is to slaughter one bird into a clay vessel over fresh water.
51He must then take the piece of cedar wood, the twigs of hyssop, the scrap of crimson fabric, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and in the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52So he is to decontaminate the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the live bird, the piece of cedar wood, the twigs of hyssop, and the scrap of crimson fabric,
53and he is to send the live bird away outside the city into the open countryside. So he is to make atonement for the house and it will be clean.
54“This is the law for all diseased infections, for scall,
55for the diseased garment, for the house,
56for the swelling, for the scab, and for the bright spot,
57to teach when something is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law for dealing with infectious disease.”
