If the priest see that the plague
is in the walls of the house, and that there be hollow streaks
pale or red which seem to be lower than the other parts of the
wall, then let the priest go out at the house doors, and shut up
the house for seven days. And let the priest come again the
seventh day and see it: if the plague be increased in the walls of
the house, let the priest command them to take away the stones in
which the plague is, and let them cast them in a foul place
without the city, and scrape the house within round about, and
pour out the dust without the city in a foul place. And let them
take other stones and put them in the places of those stones, and
other mortar, and plaster the house withal. If now the plague come
again and break out in the house, after that they have taken away
the stones and scraped the house, and after that the house is
plastered anew: let the priest come and see it. And if then he
perceive that the plague hath eaten further in the house, then it
is a fretting leprosy that is in the house, and it is unclean.
Then they shall break down the house: both stones, timber and all
the mortar of the house, and carry it out of the city unto a foul
place. Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it
is shut up, shall be unclean until night.
