And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
But if the contamination comes back and spreads in the house after the stones have been removed, the walls have been scraped clean, and the house has been replastered,
This verse describes what to do if a house contamination returns even after thorough cleaning and restoration efforts.
