Vayikra 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.

Vayikra 14:42 In-Context

40 Then the kohen shall command that they tear down the stones in which the nega is, and they shall throw them into a makom tamei outside the town;

41 And he shall cause the bais to be scraped within around, and they shall pour out the afar (dust) that they scrape off outside the town into a makom tamei;

42 And they shall take other stones, and make them replace those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the bais.

43 And if the nega come again, and break out in the bais, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the bais, and after it is plastered,

44 Then the kohen shall come and inspect, and, hinei, if the nega be spread in the bais, it is a malignant tzara’at in the bais; it is tamei.
