⁴⁴ then the priest shall come and examine and see if the disease has spread in the house. If the disease has spread in the house, it is a persistent leprosy in the house; it is unclean. ⁴⁵ He shall break down the house, the stones and the timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.

⁴⁶ Moreover, he who goes into the house while it is closed off shall be unclean until the evening.
