Leviticus 14:46-57

46Moreover he who goes into the house at all while it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.

47And he who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48“But if the priest comes in and examines it, and indeed the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

49And he shall take, to cleanse the house, two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

50Then he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water;

51and he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the running water and the living bird, with the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet.

53Then he shall let the living bird loose outside the city in the open field, and make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

54“This is the law for any leprous sore and scale,

55for the leprosy of a garment and of a house,

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

57to teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.”
