29. What is left of the oil in the priest’s palm he is to put on the head of the one to be cleansed to make atonement for him before the Lord.
30. He must then sacrifice one type of what he can afford, either the turtledoves or young pigeons,
31. one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, sacrificing what he can afford together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord for the one to be cleansed.
32. This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing.”
33. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
34. “When you enter the land of Canaan that I am giving you as a possession, and I place a mildew contamination in a house in the land you possess,
35. the owner of the house is to come and tell the priest: Something like mildew contamination has appeared in my house.
36. The priest must order them to clear the house before he enters to examine the contamination, so that nothing in the house becomes unclean. Afterward the priest will come to examine the house.
37. He will examine it, and if the contamination in the walls of the house consists of green or red indentations that appear to be beneath the surface of the wall,
38. the priest is to go outside the house to its doorway and quarantine the house for seven days.
39. The priest is to return on the seventh day and examine it. If the contamination has spread on the walls of the house,
40. the priest must order that the stones with the contamination be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.
41. He is to have the inside of the house completely scraped, and the plaster that is scraped off must be dumped in an unclean place outside the city.
42. Then they must take different stones to replace the former ones and take additional plaster to replaster the house.
43. “If the contamination reappears in the house after the stones have been pulled out, and after the house has been scraped and replastered,
44. the priest must come and examine it. If the contamination has spread in the house, it is harmful mildew; the house is unclean.
