Leviticus 14:44-46
New English Translation
44 the priest is to come and examine it, and if[a] the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant disease in the house. It is unclean. 45 He must tear down the house,[b] its stones, its wood, and all the plaster of the house, and bring all of it[c] outside the city to an unclean place. 46 Anyone who enters[d] the house all the days the priest[e] has quarantined it will be unclean until evening.
