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.

33 O SENHOR disse a Moisés e a Arão:

34 “Quando vocês entrarem na terra de Canaã, que dou a vocês como propriedade, e eu puser mancha de mofo numa casa, na terra que lhes pertence,

35 o dono da casa irá ao sacerdote e dirá: Parece-me que há mancha de mofo em minha casa.

36 Antes de examinar o mofo, o sacerdote ordenará que desocupem a casa para que nada que houver na casa se torne impuro. Depois disso, o sacerdote irá examinar a casa.

37 Examinará as manchas nas paredes e, se elas forem esverdeadas ou avermelhadas e parecerem mais profundas do que a superfície da parede,
