The recurrence of mildew signifies a deeper problem that requires attention. In a spiritual sense, this can be seen as a metaphor for sin or impurity that, if not fully eradicated, can return and cause further defilement. This reflects the need for vigilance and thoroughness in dealing with sin, as echoed in passages like <a href="/matthew/12-43.htm">Matthew 12:43-45</a>, where an unclean spirit returns to a person who has not filled their life with righteousness.<p><b>after the stones have been torn out</b><br>The removal of stones represents a significant and drastic measure to address the problem. In ancient Israel, houses were often constructed with stone, and removing them would have been a labor-intensive process. This action symbolizes the need for decisive and sometimes painful measures to remove sin or impurity from one's life. It parallels the call for repentance and the removal of sinful habits, as seen in <a href="/colossians/3-5.htm">Colossians 3:5</a>, where believers are urged to "put to death" whatever belongs to their earthly nature.<p><b>and the house has been scraped and replastered</b><br>Scraping and replastering the house indicates a thorough cleansing and renewal process. This reflects the biblical principle of renewal and transformation, akin to the spiritual renewal described in <a href="/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>, where believers are encouraged to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. The physical act of replastering signifies a fresh start and the hope of restoration, much like the new life offered through Christ. This process also underscores the importance of maintaining purity and holiness, as emphasized throughout Leviticus.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Leviticus, who received the laws from God to instruct the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests.htm">Priests</a></b><br>The individuals responsible for inspecting and declaring a house clean or unclean.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The recipients of the laws, living in the Promised Land, where these laws were to be applied.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_house.htm">The House</a></b><br>Represents the dwelling place of an Israelite, which could become unclean due to mildew.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/mildew.htm">Mildew</a></b><br>A symbol of impurity or sin that can affect a dwelling, requiring purification.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_persistence_of_sin.htm">The Persistence of Sin</a></b><br>Just as mildew can reappear, sin can persist in our lives if not fully addressed.

From the fact that the materials of the house here spoken of are stones, earth, and wood, the ancient canons enacted that no dwelling is exposed to the laws of leprosy unless it has four walls, and is built of stone, earth, and wood. Houses of brick and marble, therefore, do not come within these laws.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/14-43.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">If</span><br /><span class="heb">וְאִם־</span> <span class="translit">(wə·’im-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_518.htm">Strong's 518: </a> </span><span class="str2">Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, not</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the mildew</span><br /><span class="heb">הַנֶּ֙גַע֙</span> <span class="translit">(han·ne·ḡa‘)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
