³³ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron, saying: ³⁴ When ye be come vnto the lande of Chanaan, which I geue you in possession, and yf I put the plague of leprosie in a house of the land of your possession: ³⁵ He that oweth the house shall come, & tell the priest, saying: Me thinke that there is as it were a plague in ye house. ³⁶ Then the priest shall comaunde them to emptie the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made vncleane: and the must the priest go in, to see the house. ³⁷ And he shall see the plague: and yf the plague be in the walles of the house, & that there be hollowe strakes, greenish or reddishe, which seeme to be lower then the wall it selfe: ³⁸ Then the priest shall go out of ye house, to the doore of the house, and shut vp the house seuen dayes. ³⁹ And the priest shall come agayne the seuenth day, & yf he see that the plague be increased in the walles of the house, ⁴⁰ Then the priest shall comaunde them to take away ye stones in which ye plague is, and let them cast them into a foule place without the citie, ⁴¹ And he shall commaunde the house to be scraped within rounde about, and powre out the dust that they scrape of, without the citie into a foule place. ⁴² And they shall take other stones, and put the in the place of those stones, and other morter to plaster ye house withall.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This section is separated from that on leprosy in clothing Leviticus 13:47-59 with which it would seem to be naturally connected, and is placed last of all the laws concerning leprosy, probably on account of its being wholly prospective. While the Israelites were in the wilderness, the materials of their dwellings were of nearly the same nature as those of their clothing, and would be liable to the same sort of decay. They were therefore included under the same law.

I put the plague - Yahweh here speaks as the Lord of all created things, determining their decay and destruction as well as their production. Compare Isaiah 45:6-7; Jonah 4:7; Matthew 21:20.

Leviticus 14:37

Hollow strakes ... - Rather, depressed spots of dark green or dark red, appearing beneath (the surface of) the wall.

Leviticus 14:49

Cleanse the house - Strictly, “purge the house from sin.” The same word is used in Leviticus 14:52; and in Leviticus 14:53 it is said, “and make an atonement for it.” Such language is used figuratively when it is applied to things, not to persons. The leprosy in houses, the leprosy in clothing, and the terrible disease in the human body, were representative forms of decay which taught the lesson that all created things, in their own nature, are passing away, and are only maintained for their destined uses during an appointed period, by the power of Yahweh.
