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.
This site's exposition
with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish
on Leviticus 14:37-45
The vocabulary of the man's case is now applied to masonry, shut up seven days, spread, unclean. If the plague has spread the infected stones are pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city, the walls are scraped, the dust is carried out, and new stones and fresh morter go in. A house is given a repair that no man in chapter 13 was offered. If the plague breaks out again after all of that, the text calls it a fretting leprosy and the whole house is broken down and carried out of the city.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And they shall take other stones,.... From elsewhere, such as are sound and whole: and put them in the place of these stones; such as will exactly answer them, as to number and size, and so fill up the space vacant by the removal of the other, and support the building: and he shall take other mortar, and plaster the house; the master of the house was to do this, or take care that it was done; but others by the order of the priest, as they took away the tainted stones, put others in their place.
