And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the wall; 14.38. then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. 14.39. And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; 14.40. then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city. 14.41. And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place. 14.42. And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house. 14.43. And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that the stones have been taken out, and after the house hath been scraped, and after it is plastered; 14.44. then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a maligt leprosy in the house: it is unclean. 14.45. And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. 14.46. Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 14.47. And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. 14.48. And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 14.49. And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. 14.50. And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. 14.51. And he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times. 14.52. And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet. 14.53. But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open field; so shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean. 14.54. This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for a scall; 14.55. and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house; 14.56. and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot; 14.57. to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean; this is the law of leprosy.''.

75.7. Why do you tickle my ears? Why do you entertain me? There is other business at hand; I am to be cauterized, operated upon, or put on a diet. That is why you were summoned to treat me! You are required to cure a disease that is chronic and serious, – one which affects the general weal. You have as serious a business on hand as a physician has during a plague. Are you concerned about words? Rejoice this instant if you can cope with things. When shall you learn all that there is to learn? When shall you so plant in your mind that which you have learned, that it cannot escape? When shall you put it all into practice? For it is not sufficient merely to commit these things to memory, like other matters; they must be practically tested. He is not happy who only knows them, but he who does them. ' '. None

7.111. They hold the emotions to be judgements, as is stated by Chrysippus in his treatise On the Passions: avarice being a supposition that money is a good, while the case is similar with drunkenness and profligacy and all the other emotions.And grief or pain they hold to be an irrational mental contraction. Its species are pity, envy, jealousy, rivalry, heaviness, annoyance, distress, anguish, distraction. Pity is grief felt at undeserved suffering; envy, grief at others' prosperity; jealousy, grief at the possession by another of that which one desires for oneself; rivalry, pain at the possession by another of what one has oneself."".
