Context of Leviticus 14:43
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. 42They are then to take other stones and replace those stones, and he is to take other plaster and replaster the house. “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. 45He must tear down the house, its stones, its wood, and all the plaster of the house, and bring all of it outside the city to an unclean place.

- 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.

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

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 34-4834-48. leprosy in a house--This law was prospective, not to come into operation till the settlement of the Israelites in Canaan. The words, "I put the leprosy," has led many to think that this plague was a judicial infliction from heaven for the sins of the owner; while others do not regard it in this light, it being common in Scripture to represent God as doing that which He only permits in His providence to be done. Assuming it to have been a natural…Read the comment
