Then the priest will command that the house be cleared before the priest enters to examine the infection so that everything in the house does not become unclean, and afterward the priest will enter to examine the house.

then the priest is to go out of the house to the doorway of the house and quarantine the house for seven days.

"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.

then whoever owns the house must come and declare to the priest, 'Something like an infection is visible to me in the house.'

"If the infection returns and breaks out in the house after he has pulled out the stones, scraped the house, and it is replastered,

the priest is to come and examine it, and if the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant disease in the house. It is unclean.

He must tear down the house, its stones, its wood, and all the plaster of the house, and bring all of it outside the city to an unclean place.

Anyone who lies down in the house must wash his clothes. Anyone who eats in the house must wash his clothes.
