40. he shall order the infected stones to be pulled out and cast in an unclean place outside the city.
41. The whole inside of the house shall then be scraped, and the mortar that has been scraped off shall be dumped in an unclean place outside the city.
42. Then other stones shall be brought and put in the place of the old stones, and new mortar obtained and plastered on the house.
43. If the infection breaks out once more in the house after the stones have been pulled out and the house has been scraped and replastered,
44. the priest shall come; and if, upon inspection, he finds that the infection has spread in the house, it is a corrosive fungus in the house, and it is unclean.
45. It shall be pulled down, and all its stones, beams and mortar shall be hauled away to an unclean place outside the city.
46. Whoever enters a house while it is quarantined shall be unclean until evening.
47. Whoever sleeps or eats in such a house shall also wash his garments.
48. If the priest finds, when he comes to the house, that the infection has in fact not spread in the house after the plastering, he shall declare the house clean, since the infection has been healed.
49. To purify the house, he shall take two birds, as well as cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop.
50. One of the birds he shall slaughter over an earthen vessel with fresh water in it.
