“And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;”
On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls. The seventh-day return and inspection applies the spreading criterion to the house: if the mold has spread, the defiling condition is confirmed. The spreading criterion is as decisive for house mold as it is for skin disease and fabric mildew. The systematic consistency across the three domains — body, fabric, house — communicates the unity of the Levitical clean/unclean framework.
