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 Then the priest must have all the inside of the house scraped. The people must throw away the plaster they scraped off the walls, at a certain unclean place outside the city.

42 Then the owner must put new stones in the walls, and he must cover the walls with new clay plaster.

43 "Suppose a person has taken away the old stones and plaster and put in new stones and plaster. If mildew again appears in his house,

44 the priest must come back and check the house again. If the mildew has spread in the house, it is a mildew that destroys things; the house is unclean.

45 Then the owner must tear down the house, remove all its stones, plaster, and wood, and take them to the unclean place outside the city.
