Leviticus 14:39 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:39

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall
look
On the seventh day from his shutting of it up, he shall open it again, go into it, and observe in what condition it is: and, behold, [if] the plague be spread in the walls of the house:
the hollow strakes are become deeper, or the coloured spots are become larger: spreading was always a sign of leprosy, both in the bodies of men, and in garments.

Leviticus 14:39 In-Context

37 When the priest comes and examines the house, if the fungus on the walls of the house has greenish or rusty swelling that appears to go deeper than the surface of the wall,

38 the priest is to walk out the door and shut the house up for seven days.

39 On the seventh day he is to come back and conduct another examination; if the fungus has spread in the walls of the house,

40 he is to order that the stones affected by the fungus be torn out and thrown in a garbage dump outside the city.

41 He is to make sure the entire inside of the house is scraped and the plaster that is removed be taken away to the garbage dump outside the city.
