New Testament

Leviticus 14:29-40 New International Version (NIV)

29. The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the Lord.

30. Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,

31. one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.”

32. These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease and who cannot afford the regular offerings for their cleansing.

33. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

34. “When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a spreading mold in a house in that land,

35. the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’

36. The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house.

37. He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,

38. the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.

39. On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls,

40. he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.
