Cleansing From Mildew 33The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,34“When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in that land,35the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like mildew in my house.’36The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mildew, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house.37He is to examine the mildew on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,38the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.39On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mildew has spread on the walls,40he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.41He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town.42Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.43“If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered,44the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mildew has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean.45It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place. 46“Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening.47Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash his clothes. 48“But if the priest comes to examine it and the mildew has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the mildew is gone.49To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop.50He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.51Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.52He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn.53Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.” 54These are the regulations for any infectious skin disease, for an itch,55for mildew in clothing or in a house,56and for a swelling, a rash or a bright spot, 57to determine when something is clean or unclean.
These are the regulations for infectious skin diseases and mildew.
