Leviticus 14:44 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:44

Then the priest shall come and look
On the seventh day of the second week; though, according to Maimonides ^F15, this was at the end of the third seven day, or on the nineteenth day from his first inspection into it; the seventh day being reckoned for the last of the first week, and the first of the second, and so on: and, behold, [if] the plague be spread in the house;
after all the above precaution is taken; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house;
like that in the garment, (See Gill on Leviticus 13:51): it [is] unclean;
and so not to be inhabited.

Leviticus 14:44 In-Context

42 The stones must be replaced, and the house must be plastered again.

43 If the mildew develops again in the house after all this,

44 the priest will examine it one more time. If it is a spreading type of mildew, the house is unclean.

45 The house--stones, wood, and all the plaster--must be torn down and taken to an unclean place outside the city.

46 Whoever goes into the house any time it is closed up will be unclean until evening.
