Levitico 14:46 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:46

Moreover, he that goeth into the house all the while it is
shut up
The utmost of which were three weeks, as Jarchi observes; during the time a house was shut up, no man might enter it: if he did, he shall be unclean until the evening;
might not have any conversation with men until the evening was come, and he had washed himself; nay, according to the Misnah ^F17, if a clean person thrust in his head, or the greatest part of his body, into an unclean house, he was defiled; and whoever entered into a leprous house, and his clothes are on his shoulder, and his sandals (on his feet), and his rings on his hands, he and they are unclean immediately; and if he has his clothes on, and his sandals on his feet, and his rings on his hands, he is immediately defiled, and they are clean.

Levitico 14:46 In-Context

44 e il sacerdote, entrandovi, e riguardando, ecco, la piaga si è allargata nella casa; è lebbra rodente nella casa; la casa è immonda.

45 Perciò disfacciasi quella casa, le sue pietre, e il suo legname, e tutto lo smalto di essa; e portinsi quelle cose fuor della città, in luogo immondo.

46 E chi sarà entrato in quella casa, in tutti i giorni ch’ella sarà serrata, sia immondo infino alla sera.

47 E chi sarà giaciuto in quelle casa, lavi i suoi vestimenti; parimente, chi avrà mangiato in essa, lavi i suoi vestimenti.

48 Ma se pure, essendovi entrato il sacerdote, e avendo riguardato, ecco, la piaga non si è allargata nella casa, dopo che è stata smaltata; dichiari quella casa netta; conciossiachè la piaga sia guarita.
