33. The Lord also said to Moses and Aaron,
34. “I am giving the land of Canaan to your people. Your people will enter that land. At that time I might cause mildew to grow in someone’s house.
35. The person who owns that house must come and tell the priest, ‘I see something like mildew in my house.’
36. “Then the priest must order the people to take everything out of the house before he goes in to look at the mildew. Then the priest will not have to say everything in the house is unclean. After the people have taken everything out of the house, the priest will go in to look at the house.
37. He will look at the mildew. If the mildew on the walls of the house has holes that are a green or red color, and if the mildew goes into the wall’s surface,
38. he must go out of the house and lock the house for seven days.
39. “On the seventh day the priest must come back and check the house. If the mildew has spread on the walls of the house,
40. then he must order the people to tear out the stones with the mildew on them and throw them away. They must put these stones at a special unclean place outside the city.
41. Then the priest must have the entire house scraped inside. The people must throw away the plaster that was scraped off the walls. They must put that plaster at a special unclean place outside the city.
