Halakhah su Levitico 14:46

וְהַבָּא֙ אֶל־הַבַּ֔יִת כָּל־יְמֵ֖י הִסְגִּ֣יר אֹת֑וֹ יִטְמָ֖א עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

Inoltre, chi entra nella casa per tutto il tempo in cui è chiuso, sarà impuro fino alla sera.

Sefer HaChinukh

The commandment of the matter of the impurity of a house that has an ailment: To render an ailing house impure; meaning to say that we do with a house that has tsaraat according to the statute that is written in the section of the Torah, as it is stated (Leviticus 14:35), "And the one who the house is his shall come, etc.," as it is written there; and that we assume one who entered the house [to be] impure, as it is written (Leviticus 14:46), "And the one who entered the house [...] shall be impure, etc." And this commandment includes all of the matters of the impurity of houses - which one requires quarantine or destruction of some of the walls or all of them. And I have heard (see Ramban on Leviticus 14:35) that this matter of tsaraat existing in stones is not a natural matter, but rather a miraculous matter, [and] it sometimes comes to the houses of Israel to rebuke them. As it is from God's loving them that He afflicts them with something outside of their bodies, so that they will repent before they are liable for [Him] to punish them with their bodies. And so was the matter, that if one did not repent, the aliment would also spread to his clothes; if he still did not sense it, it would also spread to his body. And they, may their memory be blessed, said (Vayikra Rabbah 17:6) that at the beginning when they conquered the land, God, may He be blessed, brought the ailment of tsaraat to some of their houses for their good, in order to destroy the house and reveal the buried treasure that the Amorites buried there. And even though it was possible to inform them [of] this through a prophet without an ailment, it is known that God will do miracles for people in a hidden way, as we wrote above.
