Leviticus 14:48 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:48

And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it]
That is, on the seventh day of the second week of its being shut up: and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house
was plastered; (See Gill on Leviticus 14:42): then the priest shall pronounce the house clean;
fit to be inhabited, and so no more to be shut up, but free for use as before: because the plague is healed;
the infection being wholly removed by taking out the stones, scraping, and plastering the house, and so an entire stop put to the spread of it.

Leviticus 14:48 In-Context

46 Those who enter the house during the period of quarantine will be ceremonially unclean until evening,

47 and all who sleep or eat in the house must wash their clothing.

48 “But if the priest returns for his inspection and finds that the mildew has not reappeared in the house after the fresh plastering, he will pronounce it clean because the mildew is clearly gone.
