Context — Signs of Home Contamination

31one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the LORD for the one to be cleansed. 32This is the law for someone who has a skin disease and cannot afford the cost of his cleansing.”

33Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

34“When you enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession, and I put a contamination of mildew into a house in that land, 35the owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, ‘Something like mildew has appeared in my house.’

Leviticus 14:33 Summary

In Leviticus 14:33, the Lord speaks to Moses and Aaron, showing that He values direct communication with His leaders and people. This verse is a transition to a new topic, where the Lord gives instructions on how to handle contaminated houses in the Promised Land (Leviticus 14:34-35). Just like the Israelites, we need the Lord's guidance and direction in our lives, and we can seek His wisdom through prayer and reading His Word (Psalm 119:105, Proverbs 3:5-6). By listening to the Lord's voice and following His instructions, we can live a life that is pleasing to Him.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 14:33

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, No JFB commentary on this verse.

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 14:33

(33) And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron.—Whilst the law about the cleansing of restored lepers was addressed to Moses alone (see Leviticus 14:1), the regulations about leprous houses, like those with regard to leprous garments and persons, are for the same reason delivered to Moses and Aaron conjointly. (See Leviticus 13:1.)

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 14:33

Leprosy in houses (33–53) Nothing definite is known about these appearances on the walls of a house, which are here described as leprosy. It was regarded as a special visitation of God (Leviticus 14:34, ‘I put the plague’); the Jews believed that the plague was peculiar to Palestine and the chosen people, and was not found in the houses of foreigners. The owner of the house must say ‘There seemeth to me …’ (Leviticus 14:35): the decision whether the house is leprous rests with the priest. The order to empty the house before the priest comes to inspect shews that there is no fear of contagion. It has been suggested that the appearances were due to damp, or decay, or the growth of some vegetable matter. The diagnosis is similar to that for leprosy in man; the remedy is to remove the stones in which the plague is, and to scrape and plaister the house. If the plague is not stayed, the house must be pulled down. The method of purification if the house be pronounced clean is the same as that prescribed for the leper in Leviticus 14:4-7. Further regulations are found in Negâim, chs. 12, 13.

Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 14:33

This section is separated from that on leprosy in clothing Leviticus 13:47-59 with which it would seem to be naturally connected, and is placed last of all the laws concerning leprosy, probably on

Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 14:33

SIGNS OF LEPROSY IN A HOUSE, Leviticus 14:33-45.The nature of house leprosy is a great mystery. If it proceeded from a natural cause we should expect to find the same cause productive of a like effect in modern Palestine.
