John Gill Commentary Leviticus 14:46

"Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even." — Leviticus 14:46 (ASV)

Moreover, he that goes into the house all the while it is
shut up
The utmost of which were three weeks, as Jarchi observes; during the time a house was shut up, no man might enter it:

if he did, he shall be unclean until the evening ;
might not have any conversation with men until the evening had come, and he had washed himself;

nay, according to the Misnah ^F17 , if a clean person thrust in his head, or the greatest part of his body, into an unclean house, he was defiled; and whoever entered into a leprous house, and his clothes are on his shoulder, and his sandals (on his feet), and his rings on his hands, he and they are unclean immediately; and if he has his clothes on, and his sandals on his feet, and his rings on his hands, he is immediately defiled, and they are clean.
