46. Moreover, he who enters the house during the whole time that it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
47. And he who lies down or eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48. But if the priest inspects it and the disease has not spread after the house was plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the disease is healed.
49. He shall take to cleanse the house two birds, cedar wood, scarlet [material], and hyssop;
50. And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water,
51. And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet [material], and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52. And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, the running water, the living bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet [material].
53. But he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field; so he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
54. This is the law for all kinds of leprous diseases, and mangelike conditions,
55. For the leprosy of a garment or of a house,
56. And for a swelling or an eruption or a scab or a bright spot,
57. To teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
