33 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,

34 When ye shall have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

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

35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, it seemeth to me [there is] 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.’

36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest shall enter to see the plague, that all that [is] in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

The priest shall enjoin that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

37 And he shall look on the plague, and behold, [if] the plague [is] in the walls of the house, with hollow streaks, greenish, or reddish, which in sight [are] lower than the wall;

He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;

40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague [is], and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

then the priest shall enjoin that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:

41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within on all sides, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.

42 And they shall take other stones, and put [them] in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

43 And if the plague shall return, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered;

“If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;

44 Then the priest shall come and look; and behold, [if] the plague is spread in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house: it [is] unclean.

then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive tzara'at mildew in the house. It is unclean.

45 And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house: and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city to an unclean place.

He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes: and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it], and behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

“If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”
