Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

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

he that goeth into the house

on Leviticus 14:46-53

Whoever goes into the shut-up house is unclean until the even, and whoever lies down or eats there washes his clothes, so the building hands its condition to the people who use it. If the plague has not spread after the plastering the priest pronounces the house clean because the plague is healed, and the two birds, cedar wood, scarlet and hyssop are brought out a second time. The living bird is let go out of the city into the open fields, and verse 53 says the priest shall make an atonement for the house. Atonement is made for a building here, and the same is done for the holy place itself at 16:16.

As a house could not contract any impurity in the sight of God, the "atonement" which the priest was to make for it must either have a reference to the sins of its occupants or to the ceremonial process appointed for its purification, the very same as that observed for a leprous person.
