“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,

35 then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house:

then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’
