25. He will slaughter the lamb as a guilt offering. Then the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed.
26. The priest will pour some of the olive oil into his own left hand.
27. With his right finger he will sprinkle some of the oil seven times in the Lord’s presence.
28. The priest will put some of the oil that is in his hand on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed. These are the same places he had put the blood of the guilt offering.
29. In the Lord’s presence, the priest will pour the rest of the oil in his hand on the head of the one to be cleansed in order to make a payment for him.
30. Then the one to be cleansed must take one of the mourning doves or pigeons (whichever he can afford),
31. and sacrifice it as an offering for sin. He will take the other and sacrifice it as a burnt offering together with the grain offering. So in the Lord’s presence the priest will make peace with the Lord for the one who is being cleansed.
32. These are the instructions for one who has an infectious skin disease but cannot afford what is needed for his cleansing.”
33. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,
34. “When you come to Canaan that I am going to give to you, mildew may appear in a house.
35. The owner of that house must come and tell the priest that there is something that looks like mildew in his house.
36. “Before the priest examines the house, he will order everything taken out of it so that nothing in the house will become unclean. Then the priest will go inside to examine the house.
37. He will examine the mildew area on the walls. If it is green and red in sunken areas that are deeper than the rest of the wall,
38. the priest will go out to the door of the house and close up the house for seven days.
39. On the seventh day the priest will go back and examine it again. If the mildew in the walls of the house has spread,
40. the priest must order the stones that have the mildew to be torn out and thrown outside the city in an unclean place.
41. He must have the entire inside of the house scraped. The plaster dust scraped off the walls must be dumped in an unclean place outside the city.
42. The stones must be replaced, and the house must be plastered again.
43. If the mildew develops again in the house after all this,
44. the priest will examine it one more time. If it is a spreading type of mildew, the house is unclean.
