| Leviticus 14:
34 When you have entered Canaan, which I am giving you to occupy, if I inflict a fungous infection upon a house in the land you have occupied, |  |
37 If on inspection he finds the patch on the walls consists of greenish or reddish depressions, apparently going deeper than the surface, 38 he is to go out of the house, and at the entrance put it in quarantine for seven days. 39 On the seventh day he must return and inspect the house, and if the patch has spread in the walls, 40 he must order the infected stones to be pulled out and thrown away outside the town in an unclean place. 41 He must also then have the house scraped inside throughout, and all the daub they have scraped off is to be tipped outside the town in an unclean place.

More amusing Scripture verses and cartoons at Breadwig.
Isn't this all supposed to be about leprosy?
I wasn't aware that God was moonlighting as a general contractor.
By the way, the cartoon archives of that Breadwig site are a scream! I might give it a mention over at my blog too, if you don't mind. I'll be sure to mention I found it here and put a link in for you.
I think it illustrates only too well how things can be made to sound absurd when taken out of context. It's just like the recent "news" (if you want to call it that) of the 1962 "Smoking Gun" document from the Vatican that only CBS News seemed to get all tingly over.
