43. If the disease comes again and breaks out in the house after he has taken away the stones and after he has scraped the house and after it is plastered,
44. then the priest shall come and examine and see if the disease has spread in the house. If the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
45. He shall break down the house, the stones and the timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
46. Moreover, he who goes into the house while it is closed off shall be unclean until the evening.
47. And he who sleeps in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48. If the priest comes in and examines it and sees the disease has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the disease is healed.
49. He shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop to cleanse the house.
50. Then he shall kill one of the birds in a clay vessel over running water.
51. He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52. Then he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet.
53. But he shall let the living bird loose outside the city into the open fields and make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
