“If the disease breaks out again in the house, after he has taken out the stones and scraped the house and plastered it,

the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mould has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mould; the house is unclean.

‘But if the priest comes to examine it and the mould has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean, because the defiling mould is gone.

“But if the priest comes and looks, and if the disease has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, for the disease is healed.

And the  Lord will take away from you all sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you knew, will he inflict on you, but he will lay them on all who hate you.

If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge – whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults – take them to the place the  Lord your God will choose.

“If any case arises requiring decision between one kind of homicide and another, one kind of legal right and another, or one kind of assault and another, any case within your towns that is too difficult for you, then you shall arise and go up to the place that the  Lord your God will choose.

The Levitical priests shall step forward, for the  Lord your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the  Lord and to decide all cases of dispute and assault.

Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the  Lord your God has chosen them to minister to him and to bless in the name of the  Lord, and by their word every dispute and every assault shall be settled.

In cases of defiling skin diseases, be very careful to do exactly as the Levitical priests instruct you. You must follow carefully what I have commanded them.

“Take care, in a case of leprous disease, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you. As I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do.

the  Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.

then the  Lord will bring on you and your offspring extraordinary afflictions, afflictions severe and lasting, and sicknesses grievous and lasting.

He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you.

And he will bring upon you again all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you.
