Exegesis
The direct-object-marker et {אֶת | ’et} specifies the ha-avanim {הָאֲבָנִים | ’ăvānîm} ‘stones’ and ha-bayit {הַבַּיִת | bayyît} ‘house’, underscoring ritual precision. The interplay of imperfect and perfect verbal stems, together with repeated temporal particles, highlights both the conditional contingency and procedural sequence essential to the priestly examination.
In context — Leviticus 14:43
And if the affliction returns and spreads in the house after he has torn out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after he has plastered it.
