Context of Leviticus 14:33
31and sacrifice it as an offering for sin. He will take the other and sacrifice it as a burnt offering together with the grain offering. So in the Lord’s presence the priest will make peace with the Lord for the one who is being cleansed. 32These are the instructions for one who has an infectious skin disease but cannot afford what is needed for his cleansing.” The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, 34“When you come to Canaan that I am going to give to you, mildew may appear in a house. 35The owner of that house must come and tell the priest that there is something that looks like mildew in his house.
