Luther Bible 1545 (English)
in the house of your possession, 35. And he that is of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying: It looketh upon me as if a plague were upon my house.
And the priest shall command them to make an end of the house, before the priest go in to see the plague, lest all that is in the house be unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.
And if he look upon the plague, and find that there be yellow or reddish dimples in the wall of the house, and that the appearance thereof be deeper than the wall, 38. Then he shall go out at the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
And when he cometh again the seventh day, and seeth that the plague hath eaten upon the wall of the house,
And he shall break out the stones that have the mark therein, and cast them out of the city into an unclean place.
And the house shall be scraped round about on the inner side, and the glue that is scraped shall be cast out of the city into an unclean place.
And take other stones, and put them in their place, and take other glue, and cast it upon the house.
And it shall come to pass, when the plague is come again, and shall break out upon the house, after that the stones are taken out, and the house is cast in another way, 44. Then the priest shall go in. And when he seeth that the plague hath eaten in the house, it is surely a leprosy that eateth in the house, and is unclean.
Therefore they shall break down the house, both the stone and the timber, and all the glue that is upon the house, and shall bring it out of the city into an unclean place.
And whosoever entereth into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
And whosoever lieth within, or eateth within, shall wash his clothes.
And if the priest, when he is come in, seeth that the plague hath not spread abroad in the house, after that the house is cast down, then he shall cleanse it: for the plague is healed.
And he shall take for a sin offering for the house two birds, and cedar wood, and wool of the color of rose, and hyssop.
And kill the one bird in an earthen vessel by running water.
And he shall take the cedar wood, and the wool of the color of the rose, and the hyssop, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird by the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with hyssop, and with wool of the color of raisins.
And he shall let the living bird fly out of the city into the open field, and make an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
This is the law concerning all manner of leprosy and scabies: 55. About the leprosy of the garments and the houses,
About the bumps, gnats and pus white,
That it may be known whether a thing is unclean or clean: this is the law of leprosy.
(Leviticus)

This is the law concerning him that hath a river, and the seed thereof escapeth from him in his sleep, and he is defiled thereby,
And over her that hath the flow of blood, and over him that hath the flow of blood, whether it
be man or woman, and if a man lie with an unclean woman.
