Leviticus 14:43 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:43

And if the plague come again, and break out in the house
In the above signs of it: after that he hath taken away the stones;
which were infected, or ordered them to be taken away: and after he hath scraped the house;
so that there seemed to be no remains of the plague: and after it is plastered;
to prevent if possible any return of it, but in vain.

43 "And if the plague come again and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones and after he hath scraped the house and after it is plastered,
