Afterward, the priest shall go in to inspect the house. 37 He shall examine the mildew, and if the mildew in the walls of the house consists of greenish or reddish depressions that appear deeper than the surface, 38 the priest shall come out of the house to its doorway and quarantine the house for seven days. 39 On the seventh day, the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mildew has spread on the walls, 40 The priest shall command that the stones with the mildew in them be removed and thrown outside the city to an unclean place. 41 He shall have the house scraped of all its plaster, and the scraped material is to be dumped outside the city in an unclean place. 42 Then they shall take other stones to replace those removed and reapply the plaster over the house. 43 If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been removed, and after the house has been scraped and replastered, 44 the priest shall come and inspect it. If the mildew has spread, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean. 45 The house must be demolished, with all its stones, timbers, and plaster taken outside the city to an unclean place.
