What Does Leviticus 14:41 Mean?
Scraping removed the superficial decay, mold spores, and loosened material that could harbor the plague. The dust produced by this work—the debris of uncleanness—was carried outside and dumped with other refuse.
The thoroughness ('round about') ensured nothing was left behind. The house was systematically cleared of all traces of the plague before rebuilding could begin.
