Leviticus 14:41 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:41

And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round
about
All the walls on each side, and at each end, and every stone in them; which, though they had no appearance on them, yet should there be any infection in them, which as yet was not seen, it might be removed, and a spread prevented: and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the
city, into an unclean place;
the scrapings they were to put into some vessel, and carry them thither and pour them out, or into a cart, and there throw them, that they might lie with other rubbish, and not be made use of any more.

Leviticus 14:41 In-Context

39 And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread,
40 He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place:
41 And that the house be scraped on the inside round about, and the dust of the scrapings be scattered without the city into an unclean place:
42 And that other stones be laid in the place of them that were taken away, and the house be plastered with other mortar.
43 But if after the stones be taken out, and the dust scraped off, and it be plastered with other earth.
