Levítico 14:35 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:35

And he that owneth the house shall come, and tell the priest,
&c.] As soon as he observes any sign of leprosy in it, or which gives him a suspicion of it: saying, it seemeth unto me [there is] as it were a plague in the
house;
he must not say expressly there is one, how certain soever he may be of it, because the matter must be determined by a priest: so runs the Jewish canon ^F9, he whose the house is comes and declares to the priest, saying, there appears to me as a plague in the house; and though he is a wise man, and knows that there is a plague certainly, he may not determine, and say, there appears to me a plague in the house, but there appears to me as it were a plague in the house; it looks like one, there is some reason to suspect it.

algunas de las casas de su tierra.

35 El propietario de una casa así deberá acudir al sacerdote y decirle: “Parece que mi casa tiene algún tipo de moho”.

36 Antes que el sacerdote entre a inspeccionar la casa, deberá vaciarla con el fin de que nada de lo que hay dentro sea declarado ceremonialmente impuro.

37 Entonces el sacerdote entrará en la casa y examinará el moho de las paredes. Si encuentra manchas verdosas o rojizas y la contaminación parece estar más profunda que la superficie de la pared,
