The requirement to obtain different stones signifies a complete removal of the contaminated material, symbolizing a fresh start and the importance of purity. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness and separation from sin, as seen in passages like <a href="/2_corinthians/6-17.htm">2 Corinthians 6:17</a>, which calls believers to come out from among the unclean.<p><b>to replace the contaminated ones</b><br>The replacement of contaminated stones underscores the necessity of removing sin and impurity from one's life. In a spiritual sense, this can be seen as a type of repentance and renewal, akin to the transformation described in <a href="/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>, where believers are called to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. The physical act of replacing stones serves as a metaphor for the spiritual cleansing and renewal that God desires for His people.<p><b>as well as additional mortar</b><br>The use of additional mortar to secure the new stones highlights the need for a strong foundation and unity in the community of faith. Mortar, which binds stones together, can be seen as a symbol of the teachings and doctrines that hold the church together, as referenced in <a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20-22</a>, where believers are described as being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.<p><b>to replaster the house</b><br>Replastering the house signifies a complete restoration and covering of what was once defiled. This act of covering can be likened to the atonement provided by Christ, who covers our sins and restores us to a right relationship with God. The concept of covering is also seen in <a href="/psalms/32.htm">Psalm 32:1</a>, where the psalmist speaks of the blessedness of having one's transgressions forgiven and sins covered. This restoration process points to the ultimate redemption and renewal found in Jesus Christ, who makes all things new (<a href="/revelation/21-5.htm">Revelation 21:5</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/priest.htm">Priest</a></b><br>The priest plays a crucial role in the cleansing process, acting as a mediator between God and the people, ensuring that the laws of purity are followed.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/infected_house.htm">Infected House</a></b><br>Represents a dwelling that has been contaminated, requiring purification to restore it to a state of cleanliness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/stones.htm">Stones</a></b><br>Symbolize the elements of the house that have been affected by impurity and need to be replaced to restore the house.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/plaster.htm">Plaster</a></b><br>Used to cover and seal the house after the stones have been replaced, signifying a fresh start and renewed purity.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelite_community.htm">Israelite Community</a></b><br>The broader context involves the community's responsibility to maintain holiness and purity in their living spaces.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_spiritual_cleansing.htm">The Importance of Spiritual Cleansing</a></b><br>Just as the physical house required cleansing and renewal, our spiritual lives need regular examination and purification.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_community_in_maintaining_holiness.htm">Role of Community in Maintaining Holiness</a></b><br>The Israelite community's involvement in the cleansing process reflects the church's role in supporting one another in spiritual growth and accountability.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_replacement_and_renewal.htm">Symbolism of Replacement and Renewal</a></b><br>Replacing the stones and replastering the house symbolizes the need for renewal and transformation in our lives, removing what is impure and replacing it with what is holy.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_for_restoration.htm">God's Provision for Restoration</a></b><br>The detailed instructions for cleansing the house demonstrate God's provision and desire for restoration, both physically and spiritually.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/b/building_on_a_firm_foundation.htm">Building on a Firm Foundation</a></b><br>The process of replacing stones and replastering serves as a reminder to build our lives on the firm foundation of Christ, ensuring that our spiritual house remains strong and pure.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_14.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 14</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_live_for_christ's_return.htm">How should we live in anticipation of Christ's return?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_stoning_contradict_'do_not_kill'.htm">Does the prescribed stoning for blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14) contradict the Sixth Commandment against killing (Exodus 20:13)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_explain_leviticus_14_on_mold_today.htm">How can one explain the instruction for dealing with mold or 'leprous' houses (Leviticus 14:33-53) given the differences in understanding mold remediation today?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible's_stance_on_avoiding_fornication.htm">What does the Bible say about cheating?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/14-42.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So different</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲחֵר֔וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·ḥê·rō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective -
