The house is to be scraped inside all around, and the material that is scraped off must be dumped in an unclean place outside the town. After the stone removal, the interior surfaces are scraped to remove any residual mold. The scraped material joins the stones in the unclean place outside the town. The thorough interior scraping — all around the entire interior — ensures that the mold's spread is addressed beyond just the obviously affected stones. The comprehensive scraping communicates the covenant's concern for thoroughness in addressing defilement.
