The guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of leprous outbreaks are continued. Those that have been cleansed from their disease are given procedures for becoming ritually clean - an outward sign that their illness has been successfully eradicated.
Instructions for the cleansing of an infected house are also given. The prescriptions range from re-plastering the walls to the total destruction of the house - depending on the seriousness of the infestation. It seems as though the priest of the day was also a building inspector and medical diagnostician. Definite examples of multi-tasking and cross-training.
