Leviticus 14:42
40 he must order that the contaminated stones be pulled out and thrown into an unclean place outside the city.
41 And he shall have the inside of the house scraped completely and the plaster that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the city.
So different stones must be obtained to replace the contaminated ones, as well as additional mortar to replaster the house.
43 If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house has been scraped and replastered,
44 the priest must come and inspect it. If the mildew has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
