“And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,”
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron. The mildew-in-houses regulations are introduced with the same address to both Moses and Aaron as the original skin disease regulations (13:1). The extension of the clean/unclean framework to houses parallels the extension to fabric in chapter 13: the Levitical system addresses not only human bodies but the material world that surrounds and supports them. The house regulations apply specifically to the land of Canaan — the promised land context is made explicit in the following verse.
