44 the priest shall go and look. If it has spread, the house is unclean.
45 It must be torn down, and its stones, its wood, and all its plaster must be carried out of the city to an unclean place.
46 Any who enter the house while it is locked up will be unclean until evening.
47 Any who lie down or eat in the house must wash their clothes.
48 If, when the priest comes to look, the mildew has not reappeared after the house has been replastered, he shall pronounce the house ritually clean, because the mildew has been completely removed.
49 To purify the house, he shall take two birds, some cedar wood, a red cord, and a sprig of hyssop.
50 He shall kill one of the birds over a clay bowl containing fresh spring water.
