34Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan, quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem, si fuerit plaga lepræ in ædibus,
34When you shall be come into the land of Chanaan, which I will give you for a possession, if there be the plague of leprosy in a house,
35ibit cujus est domus, nuntians sacerdoti, et dicet: Quasi plaga lepræ videtur mihi esse in domo mea.
35He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house,
36At ille præcipiet ut efferant universa de domo, priusquam ingrediatur eam, et videat utrum leprosa sit, ne immunda fiant omnia quæ in domo sunt. Intrabitque postea ut consideret lepram domus:
36And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, lest all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of the house.
37et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes, et humiliores superficie reliqua,
37And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all the rest,
38egredietur ostium domus, et statim claudet illam septem diebus.
38He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days,
39Reversusque die septimo, considerabit eam: si invenerit crevisse lepram,

43Sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides, et pulvis erasus, et alia terra lita,
43But if, after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth,

47et qui dormierit in ea, et comederit quippiam, lavabit vestimenta sua.
47And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes.

48But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, it being cured,
