33. The Lord gave Moses and Aaron
34-35. the following regulations about houses affected by spreading mildew. (These were to apply after the people of Israel entered the land of Canaan, which the Lord was going to give them as their possession.) If someone finds that the Lord has sent mildew on his house, then he must go and tell the priest about it.
36. The priest shall order everything to be moved out of the house before he goes to examine the mildew; otherwise everything in the house will be declared unclean. Then he shall go to the house
37. and examine the mildew. If there are greenish or reddish spots that appear to be eating into the wall,
38. he shall leave the house and lock it up for seven days.
39. On the seventh day he shall return and examine it again. If the mildew has spread,
40. he shall order the stones on which the mildew is found to be removed and thrown into some unclean place outside the city.
