Leviticus 14:43 Meaning and Commentary

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 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within on all sides, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

42 And they shall take other stones, and put [them] in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

43 And if the plague shall return, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered;

44 Then the priest shall come and look; and behold, [if] the plague is spread in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house: it [is] unclean.

45 And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house: and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city to an unclean place.
