Summary

Leviticus 14:35 discusses the procedure for dealing with a house that has a spreading mildew, which was considered unclean. The homeowner was to report the issue to the priest, who would inspect the house and have it emptied before further examination. If the mildew persisted after scraping and plastering, the affected stones were to be removed and replaced outside the city. This verse highlights the importance of cleanliness and purity in the Israelites' lives, as well as the meticulous care taken to prevent the spread of contamination within the community.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

When the evil showed itself in a house, the owner was to send this message to the priest, "A leprous evil has appeared in my house," and the priest, before entering to examine it, was to have the house cleared, lest everything in it should become unclean. Consequently, as what was in the house became unclean only when the priest had declared the house affected with leprosy, the reason for the defilement is not to be sought for in physical infection, but must have been of an ideal or symbolical kind.
