“And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:”
The owner of the house must go and tell the priest: I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house. The house owner who observes a potentially defiling mold must report it to the priest. The reporting obligation communicates the covenant community's responsibility for the condition of its built environment: individuals cannot ignore a potential defiling condition in their property and hope it resolves without priestly evaluation. The reporting creates the accountability that the entire clean/unclean system requires.
