Leviticus 14:43 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:43

And if the plague come again, and break out in the house
In the above signs of it: after that he hath taken away the stones;
which were infected, or ordered them to be taken away: and after he hath scraped the house;
so that there seemed to be no remains of the plague: and after it is plastered;
to prevent if possible any return of it, but in vain.

Leviticus 14:43 In-Context

41 "He shall have the house scraped all around inside , and they shall dump the plaster that they scrape off at an unclean place outside the city.

42 "Then they shall take other stones and replace those stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.

43 "If, however, the mark breaks out again in the house after he has torn out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,

44 then the priest shall come in and make an inspection. If he sees that the mark has indeed spread in the house, it is a malignant mark in the house; it is unclean.

45 "He shall therefore tear down the house, its stones, and its timbers, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.
