53 he will release the living bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way, the priest will make atonement for the house, and it will be ceremonially clean.

54 "These are the instructions for dealing with the various kinds of contagious skin disease* and infectious mildew,*¹

55 whether in clothing, in a house,

56 in a swollen area of skin, in a skin rash, or in a shiny patch of skin.

57 These instructions must be followed when dealing with any contagious skin disease or infectious mildew, to determine when something is ceremonially clean or unclean."
