Leviticus 14:36

34 “When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a contamination of mildew into a house in that land,

35 the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘Something like mildew has appeared in my house.’

The priest must order that the house be cleared before he enters it to examine the mildew, so that nothing in the house will become unclean. After this, the priest shall go in to inspect the house.

37 He is to examine the house, and if the mildew on the walls consists of green or red depressions that appear to be beneath the surface of the wall,

38 the priest shall go outside the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
