Discovery BoxLeviticus 14:44-45 
Context14:44 the priest is to come and examine it, and if 1 the infection has spread in the house, it is a malignant disease in the house. It is unclean. 14:45 He must tear down the house, 2 its stones, its wood, and all the plaster of the house, and bring all of it 3 outside the city to an unclean place.
1 tn Heb “and behold” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “If he sees that the mark has indeed spread.”
2 tn Smr, LXX, Syriac, and Tg. Ps.-J. have the plural verb, perhaps suggesting a passive translation, “The house…shall be torn down” (cf. NAB, NIV, TEV, NLT, and see the note on v. 4b above).
3 tn Once again, Smr, LXX, and Syriac have the plural verb, perhaps to be rendered passive, “shall be brought.”
