OET (OET-RV) The priest must order that everything be removed out of the house before he comes to inspect it so that it won’t all be pronounced as ‘unclean’. After that’s done, he’ll go to see the house

וְצִוָּ֨ה הַכֹּהֵ֜ן
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_will_command the=priest/officer and,people_will_make_clear DOM the,house before,before goes_in the=priest/officer to=see DOM the,plague and=not become_unclean all/each/any/every which/who [is]_in,house and=after yes/correct/thus/so go_in the=priest/officer to=see DOM the,house )
This expression leaves out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. Here, the priest is telling the people what to do about the house that is infected with mold or mildew. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [The priest shall command the people what they must do]

וּפִנּ֣וּ אֶת־הַבַּ֗יִת בְּטֶ֨רֶם יָבֹ֤א הַכֹּהֵן֙ לִרְא֣וֹת אֶת־הַנֶּ֔גַע וְלֹ֥א יִטְמָ֖א כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּבָּ֑יִת

The implication is that unless the owners and residents of the house totally empty the house in preparation for the priest to arrive to inspect the household mold, the priest will declare the house and everything (and, likely, everyone) in it to be unclean. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers in a footnote or in the text of your translation. Alternate translation: [and they shall prepare the house by opening windows and emptying the house of its contents before the priest comes to inspect regarding the infection. If they do not do this, the priest will declare everything that is in the house to be unclean]

Here, they refers to the residents of the house. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [and the people in the house shall open the house]

and=not become_unclean (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_will_command the=priest/officer and,people_will_make_clear DOM the,house before,before goes_in the=priest/officer to=see DOM the,plague and=not become_unclean all/each/any/every which/who [is]_in,house and=after yes/correct/thus/so go_in the=priest/officer to=see DOM the,house )
Once the priest declared the house to be unclean, everything in the house became unclean too. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so that the priest does not need to declare the things and people in the house to be unclean]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
