offering on cleansing.

the Lord demanded that the house of the leper should also be cleansed. This

plague of leprosy in a house in the land of Canaan, and if the owner of the
house shall report to the priest that there appears to be a plague in the
house, the priest shall, before entering into it, command that the house be first
emptied. Then having entered, the priest was to look at the walls of the house,
and seeing certain signs, streaks on the walls, he shall go out of the house and
shut it up seven days. And if after seven days on entering the house the priest
sees that the plague has spread, he shall order that the stones of the house be

stones carried outside of the city, the house would be re-built with fresh
stones and re-plastered. More
