Parashat M'tzora

⁽³³⁾ The ETERNAL spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: (³⁴⁾ When you enter the land of Canaan that I give you as a possession, and I inflict an eruptive plague upon a house in the land you possess, ⁽³⁵⁾ the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, “Something like a plague has appeared upon my house.”

⁽³⁶⁾ The priest shall order the house cleared before the priest enters to examine the plague, so that nothing in the house may become impure; after that the priest shall enter to examine the house. ⁽³⁷⁾ If, when he examines the plague, the plague in the walls of the house is found to consist of greenish that appear to go deep into the wall, ⁽³⁸⁾ the priest shall come out of the house to the entrance of the house, and close up the house for seven days. ⁽³⁹⁾ On the seventh day the priest shall return. If he sees that the plague has spread on the walls of the house, ⁽⁴⁰⁾ the priest shall order the stones with the plague in them to be pulled out and cast outside the city into an impure place. ⁽⁴¹⁾ The house shall be scraped inside all around, and the coating that is scraped off shall be dumped outside the city in an impure place. ⁽⁴²⁾ They shall take other stones and replace those stones with them, and take other coating and plaster the house.
