Leviticus 14:42 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:42

And they shall take other stones
From elsewhere, such as are sound and whole: and put [them] in the place of these stones;
such as will exactly answer them, as to number and size, and so fill up the space vacant by the removal of the other, and support the building: and he shall take other mortar, and plaster the house;
the master of the house was to do this, or take care that it was done; but others by the order of the priest, as they took away the tainted stones, put others in their place.

Leviticus 14:42 In-Context

40 the priest must order that the stones with the contamination be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.

41 He is to have the inside of the house completely scraped, and the plaster that is scraped off must be dumped in an unclean place outside the city.

42 Then they must take different stones to replace the [former] ones and take additional plaster to replaster the house.

43 "If the contamination reappears in the house after the stones have been pulled out, and after the house has been scraped and replastered,

44 the priest must come and examine it. If the contamination has spread in the house, it is harmful mildew; the house is unclean.
