Leviticus 14:34-36

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁴ When you come into the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a leprous^[a] disease in a house in the land of your possession, ³⁵ the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, “There seems to me to be some sort of disease in my house.” ³⁶ The priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, or all that is in the house will become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
