32. These are the things you must do if you have leprosy and cannot afford the usual sacrifices to make you clean.
33. The Lord told Moses and Aaron to say to the people:
34. After I have given you the land of Canaan as your permanent possession, here is what you must do, if I ever put mildew on the walls of any of your homes.
35. First, you must say to a priest, “I think mildew is on the wall of my house.”
36. The priest will reply, “Empty the house before I inspect it, or else everything in it will be unclean.”
37. If the priest discovers greenish or reddish spots that go deeper than the surface of the walls,
38. he will have the house closed for seven days.
39. Then he will return and check to see if the mildew has spread.
40-41. If so, he will order someone to scrape the plaster from the walls, remove the filthy stones, then haul everything off and dump it in an unclean place outside the town.
42. Afterwards the wall must be repaired with new stones and fresh plaster.
