Cleansing From Defiling Molds

 Leviticus 14:33-57

The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this, the priest is to go in and inspect the house. He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall, the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.

The priest is to go and examine it and if the mold has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mold; the house is unclean. It must be torn down—its stones, timbers, and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place.

Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening. Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes.

To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop. He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.  He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn.  Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.

Hyssop: A herb, possibly marjoram, containing a mild antiseptic.

Why?

This house could be contaminated by mold(霉菌).  So the priest goes to check it and make ceremonial clean. If it remains after seven days, this house has to be torn down. For it is unhealthy to living.

Our living place should be clean and holy, not only for our health but also for serving the Lord. If we are living in a mold house, we may sick and spread out to others.

房屋的大麻瘋：潮濕發霉。房屋內若有罪惡的事，例如環境在紅燈區，電視有色情、暴力、漫罵，都易使人犯罪。玩期貨、去酒吧喝酒等、去廟宇看古蹟等地方，不要自己故意去黑暗的勢力中。要遠離罪惡之處。

How?

Holy, be holy for God is holy. Separate from this world and live out a good image of Jesus Christ. 讓我的生命不要發霉，帶著陽光、愛、喜樂與香氣！
