Leviticus 14:38 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:38

Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the
house
Thereby signifying that it was not fit to be inhabited, and there standing to see it shut up, as follows: and shut up the house seven days:

Leviticus 14:38 In-Context

36 The priest will order that the house be emptied before he comes to examine it so that nothing else in the house will become unclean. After that, the priest will come to examine the house.
37 If he examines the infection, and the infection in the walls of the house consists of greenish or reddish depressions, which appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall,
38 the priest will exit the house, go to the front door, and quarantine the house for seven days.
39 On the seventh day, the priest will return. If he finds that the infection has spread over the walls of the house,
40 the priest will order the stones in which the infection is found to be pulled out and discarded outside the city in an unclean area.
