34Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan,When you will have entered into the land of Canaan,quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem,which I will give to you as a possession,si fuerit plaga lepræ in ædibus,if there is the mark of leprosy in a building,
35ibit cujus est domus,he whose house it is shall gonuntians sacerdoti,and report to the priest,et dicet:saying:Quasi plaga lepræ videtur mihi esse in domo mea.“It seems to me that the mark of leprosy is in my house.”
36At ille præcipiet ut efferant universa de domo,And he shall instruct them to carry all things out of the house,priusquam ingrediatur eam,before he would enter it and see whether it is leprosy,et videat utrum leprosa sit,lest all that is in the house become unclean.ne immunda fiant omnia quæ in domo sunt.And after this,Intrabitque postea ut consideret lepram domus:he shall enter to examine the leprosy of the house.

43Sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides,But if, after the stones have been dug out,et pulvis erasus,and the dust wiped away,et alia terra lita,and it is plastered with other clay,
44ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram,the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has returned,et parietes respersos maculis,and that the walls are sprinkled with spots,lepra est perseverans, et immunda domus:then it is a persistent leprosy and the house is unclean.
