And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house; And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall; Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days: And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size; Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town: And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town: And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house. And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on, Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean. And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town. And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening. And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.
