Exegesis
The coordinated noun phrase ve-afar akher {וְעָפָר אַחֵר | wə-ʿā-p̄ār ă-ḥēr} specifies the ritual material, and the direct object et-ha-bayit {אֶת־הַבָּיִת | ʾet hā-ḇā-yit} identifies the house as the target. This progression from collective procurement to individual application underscores the layered responsibility within the purification rite.
In context — Leviticus 14:42
And they shall take other stones and bring them to replace the stones, and he shall take other plaster and plaster the house .
