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.

Leviticus 14:43 In-Context

41 Soothly he shall command that that house be razed within by compass, and that the dust of the razing be sprinkled without the city, in an unclean place,
42 and that other stones be put again for these, that be taken away, and that the house be daubed with other mortar.
43 But if after that the stones be taken away, and the dust is borne out, and [with] other earth (it) is daubed (and it is daubed with other mortar),
44 the priest entereth, and seeth the leprosy turned again, and the walls sprinkled with spots, the leprosy is then steadfastly dwelling, and the house is unclean; (the priest entereth, and seeth that the leprosy hath returned, and that the walls be sprinkled with spots, then the leprosy is steadfastly dwelling, and the house is unclean;)
45 which house they shall destroy anon, and they shall cast out of the city, into an unclean place, the stones thereof, and the wood, and all the dust. (which house they shall destroy at once, and its stones, and its wood, and all of its dust, they shall throw into an unclean place outside the city.)
