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 is to examine the house
on Leviticus 14:37-45
The vocabulary of the man's case is now applied to masonry. Spreading mildew means the stones are pulled out and the house scraped and replastered, a repair no man in chapter 13 was offered.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And if the plague come again, and break out in the house,.... In the above signs of it: after that he hath taken away the stones; which were infected, or ordered them to be taken away: and after he hath scraped the house; so that there seemed to be no remains of the plague: and after it is plastered; to prevent if possible any return of it, but in vain.
