Leviticus 14:55
53 Finally, he is to release the live bird into the open fields outside the city. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.
54 This is the law for any infectious skin disease, for a scaly outbreak,
for mildew in clothing or in a house,
56 and for a swelling, rash, or spot,
57 to determine when something is clean or unclean. This is the law regarding skin diseases and mildew.”
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.
