Leviticus 14:44 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:44

Then the priest shall come and look
On the seventh day of the second week; though, according to Maimonides F15, this was at the end of the third seven day, or on the nineteenth day from his first inspection into it; the seventh day being reckoned for the last of the first week, and the first of the second, and so on: and, behold, [if] the plague be spread in the house;
after all the above precaution is taken; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house;
like that in the garment, (See Gill on Leviticus 13:51): it [is] unclean;
and so not to be inhabited.

Leviticus 14:44 In-Context

42 lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint et luto alio liniri domum
43 sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides et pulvis elatus et alia terra lita
44 ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram et parietes aspersos maculis lepra est perseverans et inmunda domus
45 quam statim destruent et lapides eius ac ligna atque universum pulverem proicient extra oppidum in loco inmundo
46 qui intraverit domum quando clausa est inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
