[The Pentateuch]

And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron saying: when ye be come unto the land of Canaan which I give you to possess: if I put the plague of leprosy in any house of the land of your possession, let him that oweth the house go and tell the priest saying, me think that there is as it were a leprosy in the house. And the priest shall command them to rid all thing out of the house, before the priest goo in to see the plague: that he make not all that is in the house unclean, and then the priest shall goo in and see the house.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses ād Aarō saynge: when ye be come vnto the lond of Canaan which I geue you to possesse: yf I put the plage of leprosye in any housse of the lande of youre possession, let him that oweth the house go ād tell the preast saynge, me thinke that there is as it were a leprosy in the housse. And the preast shall cōmaunde them to ryd all thinge out of the housse, before the preaste goo in to se the plage: that he make not all that is in the housse vncleane, and then the preast shall goo in and se the housse.

If the priest see that the plague is in the walls of the house and that there be hollow streaks pale or read which seem to be lower than the other parts of the wall, then let the priest go out at the house doors and shut up the house for .vij. days. And let the priest come again the seventh day and see it: if the plague be increased in the walls of the house, let the priest command them to take away the stones in which the plague is, and let them cast them in a foul place without the city, and scrape the house within round about, and pour out the dust without the city in a foul place. And let them take other stones and put them in the places of those stones, and other mortar: and plaster the house with all. ⟨image 211⟩If now the plague come again and break out in the house, after that they have taken away the stones and scraped the house, and after that the house is plastered anew: let the priest come and see it. And if then he perceive that the plague hath eaten further in the house, then it is a fretting leprosy that is in the house and it is unclean. Then they shall break down the house: both stones, timbre and all the mortar of the house, and carry it out of the city unto a foul place. Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up, shall be unclean until night. And he that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes, and he also that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
