Mildew in houses
(Le 14:33-57)
Instructions were also given concerning what people were to do when, upon settling in Canaan, they lived in houses where mildew and fungus on the walls attracted disease-carrying germs.
First they were to arrange for the priest to make a thorough inspection (Le 14:33-36). If, after a week’s quarantine, the trouble persisted, the owners of the house were to remove and replace infected plaster and stones (Le 14:37-42).
If this did not cure the trouble, they had to demolish the house (Le 14:43-47). The ritual for the rededication of a cleansed house was similar to that for the rededication of a cleansed person (Le 14:48-57).
