Leviticus 14:39 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:39

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall
look
On the seventh day from his shutting of it up, he shall open it again, go into it, and observe in what condition it is: and, behold, [if] the plague be spread in the walls of the house:
the hollow strakes are become deeper, or the coloured spots are become larger: spreading was always a sign of leprosy, both in the bodies of men, and in garments.

Leviticus 14:39 In-Context

37 Then the priest will go in and examine the mildew on the walls. If he finds greenish or reddish streaks and the contamination appears to go deeper than the wall’s surface,

38 the priest will step outside the door and put the house in quarantine for seven days.

39 On the seventh day the priest must return for another inspection. If he finds that the mildew on the walls of the house has spread,

40 the priest must order that the stones from those areas be removed. The contaminated material will then be taken outside the town to an area designated as ceremonially unclean.

41 Next the inside walls of the entire house must be scraped thoroughly and the scrapings dumped in the unclean place outside the town.
