Context of Leviticus 14:42

40then the priest is to command that the stones that had the infection in them be pulled and thrown outside the city into an unclean place. 41Then he is to have the house scraped all around on the inside, and the plaster which is scraped off must be dumped outside the city into an unclean place. They are then to take other stones and replace those stones, and he is to take other plaster and replaster the house. 43“If the infection returns and breaks out in the house after he has pulled out the stones, scraped the house, and it is replastered, 44the priest is to come and examine it, and if the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant disease in the house. It is unclean.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 33-53Verses 33-53 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.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 33-53Verses 33-53 The leprosy in a house is unaccountable to us, as well as the leprosy in a garment; but now sin, where that reigns in a house, is a plague there, as it is in a heart. Masters of families should be aware, and afraid of the first appearance of sin in their families, and put it away, whatever it is. If the leprosy is got into the house, the infected part must be taken out. If it remain in the house, the whole must be pulled down. The owner had…Read the comment

People considered these buildings diseased, so they were not whole or ceremonially clean (see study note on Leviticus 11:1–15:33).
