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 And they shall take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster the house.

43 And if the plague should return again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house is scraped, and after it has been plastered,

44 then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is unclean.

45 And they shall take down the house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the city into an unclean place.

46 And he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.
