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 then the priest shall command that they remove the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them outside the city into an unclean place;

41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place;

42 and they shall take other stones and put them in the place of the stones that were removed; and he shall take other mortar and shall plaster the house.

43 And if the plague comes again and breaks out in the house after he has taken away the stones and after he has scraped the house and after it is plastered,

44 then the priest shall come in and look; and if the plague appears to have spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.
