Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 14:43

And if the plague come again, 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;

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.

If the mole broke out again after this had taken place, it was a malicious leprosy, and the house was to be pulled down as unclean, whilst the stones, the wood, and the mortar were to be taken to an unclean place outside the town.

Verses 43-47:

If the plague reappeared in the house after its cleansing, the owner of the house was to demolish it completely, and carry the debris outside the camp where it was deposited in an “unclean place.”

All who entered the “leprous” house became ceremonially unclean. However, this uncleanness lasted only until the evening, and the victim had only to wash his clothes. This implies that the procedure was primarily ceremonial, and not merely for hygienic purposes. It symbolizes the defilement which comes by contact with sin in the world, and its cleansing by the “washing of the word,” Eph 5:26.

(43, 45) And if the plague come again.If after these alterations and precautions the symptoms reappear, the house must be pulled down, just as the garment was destroyed under similar circumstances (see Lev. 13:51), and the materials deposited in the unclean receptacle outside the city, since its re-appearance shows that it is an incurable leprosy. From the fact that the materials of the house here spoken of are stones, earth, and wood, the ancient canons enacted that no dwelling is exposed to the laws of leprosy unless it has four walls, and is built of stone, earth, and wood. Houses of brick and marble, therefore, do not come within these laws.
