And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it],.... That is, on the seventh day of the second week of its being shut up:
and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; Leviticus 14:42:
then the priest shall pronounce the house clean; fit to be inhabited, and so no more to be shut up, but free for use as before:
because the plague is healed; the infection being wholly removed by taking out the stones, scraping, and plastering the house, and so an entire stop put to the spread of it.
