Parallels

  • Leviticus 13:1 (verbal): Same formulaic introduction — 'And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying' — introducing laws about impurity (skin disease), closely parallel in wording and function to Lev 14:33.
  • Leviticus 14:1 (verbal): Immediately related instructional formula in the same chapter — God speaks to Moses (and Aaron) to give detailed ritual/legal procedures for cleansing, showing repetition of the divine-proclamation frame.
  • Leviticus 1:1 (structural): Similar opening formula where God addresses Moses to introduce priestly/ritual legislation; parallels the structural role of Lev 14:33 as a divine directive that frames legal material.
  • Numbers 19:1 (thematic): Another instance where 'The LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, saying' precedes purification legislation (the red heifer), thematically linking Lev 14:33 with broader priestly laws concerning impurity and cleansing.

Parallels

  • Leviticus 14:33-53 (structural): Immediate literary context: the full chapter lays out the laws for diagnosing and purifying a house affected by tzaraʿat, of which 14:34 is the initiating stipulation.
  • Leviticus 13:47-59 (verbal): Earlier regulations about tzaraʿat on garments and objects; both chapters use the same technical term (צָרַעַת) and diagnostic/purificatory language for non-human infestations.
  • Deuteronomy 6:10-11 (thematic): Uses the same covenantal formula of entering the land God gives as an inheritance (“when the LORD brings you into the land…”) linking the setting of Leviticus 14 (disease laws in the promised land) to broader promises about possession of Canaan.
  • Deuteronomy 7:1 (thematic): Another instance of the covenantal introductory formula (“when the LORD your God brings you into the land…”) that frames laws and obligations tied to life in the land that God grants to Israel.
  • Numbers 13:17-20 (thematic): The reconnaissance of Canaan uses the same concern with 'coming into' and 'possessing' the land; thematically parallels Leviticus 14:34's presupposition of Israel residing in the divinely given land where these laws apply.

Parallels

  • Lev.13.2–3 (verbal): Both passages require that a suspected skin affliction be reported to and examined by the priest; Lev 14:35 transposes this reporting-procedure to a house rather than a person.
  • Lev.14.36–37 (structural): Immediate procedural continuation of 14:35: after the owner reports the affliction, the priest inspects the house, shuts it up seven days, and returns to re‑examine—showing the same inspection sequence.
  • Lev.14.9 (thematic): Deals with the priest’s inspection and possible demolition of a house if the 'plague' returns and spreads—parallels the concern in 14:35 about recognizing and responding to house‑afflictions.
  • Num.12.10–15 (thematic): Narrative instance of tzaraʿat (Miriam’s leprosy) and the communal/priestly response (isolation and waiting for healing), echoing the social‑religious handling of contagion implicit in 14:35.
  • Deut.24.8 (allusion): A remonstrance to remember what God did to Miriam with tzaraʿat; thematically linked to laws about recognizing and treating tzaraʿat (including reporting to the priest) as in Lev 14:35.

Parallels

  • Leviticus 14:35 (structural): Immediate parallel in the same ritual unit: the priest orders that the house be emptied of its contents before re‑inspection (same instruction repeated/closely connected to v.36).
  • Leviticus 14:48–53 (structural): The subsequent instructions for ritually cleansing a house declared clean (birds, cedar, hyssop, blood, water, oil) continue the same priestly inspection and remediation sequence initiated by the command to empty the house.
  • Leviticus 13:3–4 (verbal): General pattern for priestly examination of suspected contagion: the priest inspects the lesion and prescribes isolation or further observation — the house inspection follows the same priestly diagnostic procedure applied to persons.
  • Leviticus 13:45–46 (thematic): Rules requiring a person with tzaraʿat to be removed and live apart until pronounced clean mirror the logic behind removing household goods to prevent ritual contamination and allow proper assessment.

  • for giving instruction on the day of the unclean and on the day of the clean. This is the instruction of skin-disease.

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving you for a possession, and I put an affliction of skin-disease in a house of the land of your possession,

then the one to whom the house belongs shall come and tell the priest, saying, “Something like an affliction has appeared to me in the house.”

Then the priest shall command, and they shall clear out the house before the priest comes to see the affliction, so that all that is in the house may not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall come to see the house.

He shall see the affliction, and behold, the affliction is in the walls of the house—depressions, greenish or reddish—and their appearance is deeper than the surface of the wall.

Then the priest shall go out of the house to the entrance of the house and put the house under quarantine seven days.

The priest shall return on the seventh day and look; and behold, the affliction has spread on the walls of the house.

Then the priest shall command, and they shall tear out the stones in which is the affliction and throw them outside the city to an unclean place. And he shall have the house scraped on the inside, all around, and they shall pour out the dust that they scraped off outside the city to an unclean place.

They shall take other stones and bring them in place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house. But if the affliction returns and sprouts in the house after the stones have been torn out, and after the house has been scraped, and after it has been plastered,

then the priest shall come and look; and behold, the affliction has spread in the house—it is a malignant skin-disease in the house; it is unclean.

He shall demolish the house—its stones and its timber and all the plaster of the house—and he shall bring them outside the city to an unclean place. And whoever goes into the house, all the days it is under quarantine, shall be unclean until evening. And whoever lies down in the house shall wash his garments, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his garments. But if the priest shall come and look, and behold, the affliction has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, the priest shall declare the house clean, for the affliction has been healed. And to purify the house he shall take two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop. And he shall slaughter the one bird in an earthen vessel over fresh water.

Then he shall take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the scarlet yarn and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered and in the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. Thus he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird and with the fresh water and with the live bird and with the cedar-wood and with the hyssop and with the scarlet yarn. And he shall send away the live bird outside the city into the open field, and he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

This is the instruction for every affliction of skin-disease and for scale-disease,

and for the skin-disease of garment and of house,

and for a swelling and for a scab and for a bright spot,

to give instruction regarding the day of the unclean and the day of the clean: this is the instruction for skin-disease.
