When ye enter into the land of Canaan which I am about to give you for a possession, - and I put a plague-mark of leprosy in a house, of the land of your possession,

then shall he that owneth the house come in, and tell the priest, saying, - A kind of plague-mark, appeareth to me in the house;

and the priest shall give command, and they shall empty the house, ere yet the priest cometh in to view the mark, so that he do not pronounce unclean all that is in the house, - and, after this, shall the priest come in to view the house:

then shall he view the mark and lo! if the mark is in the walls of the house, with sunken places greenish yellow or reddish, - and they appear to be lower than the surface of the wall,

and the priest shall return on the seventh day, - and take a view, and lo! if the mark hath spread in the walls of the house,

then shall the priest give command, and they shall pull out the stones, wherein is the mark, - and cast them forth outside the city, into an unclean place;

But if the mark again breaketh out in the house, after the taking out of the stones, - and after the scraping of the house and after the plastering,;

then shall the priest come in, and take a view, and lo! if the mark hath spread in the house, a fretting leprosy, it is in the house unclean, it is,

But, though the priest do come, into the house, and take a view, yet lo! if the plague-mark hath not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then shall the priest pronounce the house clean, for, healed, is the plague.

This, is the law, - for every plague-mark of leprosy and for scall;
