Levítico 14:49 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:49

And he shall take to cleanse the house
The priest, or by his fellow priest, as Aben Ezra, though some interpret it of the master of the house; in ( Leviticus 14:49-53 ) , an account is given of the manner of cleansing a leprous house, which is the same with that of cleansing a leprous man, see notes on Le 14:4-7,
Two birds.
The birds here indeed are not described as "alive and clean", ( Leviticus 14:4 ) ; but both are plainly implied and the house is said to be cleansed with the blood of the slain bird, as well as with the living bird; and it was the upper door post of the house which was sprinkled seven times with it, but there were no sacrifices offered; in this case, as in the cleansing of the leper, the atonement for it was made by the other rites, which were sufficient to render it habitable again, and free for use, either of the owner or any other person; and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. (See Gill on Leviticus 14:4).

Levítico 14:49 In-Context

47 También, el que duerma en la casa lavará sus ropas, y el que coma en la casa lavará sus ropas.

48 Pero si el sacerdote entra y la examina, y la marca no se ha extendido en la casa después de que la casa fue recubierta, el sacerdote declarará la casa limpia, porque la marca no ha vuelto a aparecer.

49 Entonces, para purificar la casa, tomará dos avecillas, madera de cedro, un cordón escarlata e hisopo,

50 y degollará una de las avecillas en una vasija de barro sobre agua corriente.

51 Después tomará la madera de cedro, el hisopo y el cordón escarlata, juntamente con la avecilla viva, y los mojará en la sangre de la avecilla muerta y en el agua corriente, y rociará la casa siete veces.
