Levítico 14:35 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:35

And he that owneth the house shall come, and tell the priest,
&c.] As soon as he observes any sign of leprosy in it, or which gives him a suspicion of it: saying, it seemeth unto me [there is] as it were a plague in the
house;
he must not say expressly there is one, how certain soever he may be of it, because the matter must be determined by a priest: so runs the Jewish canon ^F9, he whose the house is comes and declares to the priest, saying, there appears to me as a plague in the house; and though he is a wise man, and knows that there is a plague certainly, he may not determine, and say, there appears to me a plague in the house, but there appears to me as it were a plague in the house; it looks like one, there is some reason to suspect it.

33 Habló también el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:

34 Cuando entréis en la tierra de Canaán, que os doy en posesión, y ponga yo una marca de lepra sobre una casa en la tierra de vuestra posesión,

35 el dueño de la casa irá y le avisará al sacerdote: "Algo así como la marca de la lepra ha aparecido en mi casa."

36 El sacerdote entonces ordenará que desocupen la casa antes de que él entre para examinar la marca, a fin de que nada se contamine en la casa; y después el sacerdote entrará y examinará la casa.

37 Examinará la marca, y si la marca sobre las paredes de la casa tiene depresiones verdosas o rojizas, y parece más profunda que la superficie,
