    34When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

    36Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

    37And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

    38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

    39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

    41And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

    42And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
