Leviticus 14:10-57 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 14:10-20

Observe, I. To complete the purification of the leper, on the eighth day, after the former solemnity performed without the camp, and, as it should seem, before he returned to his own habitation, he was to attend at the door of the tabernacle, and was there to be presented to the Lord, with his offering, Lev. 14:11. Observe here, 1. That the mercies of God oblige us to present ourselves to him, Rom. 12:1. 2. When God has restored us to the liberty of ordinances again, after restraint by... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 14:21-32

We have here the gracious provision which the law made for the cleansing of poor lepers. If they were not able to bring three lambs, and three tenth-deals of flour, they must bring one lamb, and one tenth-deal of flour, and, instead of the other two lambs, two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, Lev. 14:21, 22. Here see, 1. That the poverty of the person concerned would not excuse him if he brought no offering at all. Let none think that because they are poor God requires no service from them,... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 14:33-53

This is the law concerning the leprosy in a house. Now that they were in the wilderness they dwelt in tents, and had no houses, and therefore the law is made only an appendix to the former laws concerning the leprosy, because it related, not to their present state, but to their future settlement. The leprosy in a house is as unaccountable as the leprosy in a garment; but, if we see not what natural causes of it can be assigned, we may resolve it into the power of the God of nature, who here... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 14:54-57

This is the conclusion of this law concerning the leprosy. There is no repetition of it in Deuteronomy, only a general memorandum given (Deut. 24:8), Take heed in the plague of leprosy. We may see in this law, 1. The gracious care God took of his people Israel, for to them only this law pertained, and not to the Gentiles. When Naaman the Syrian was cured of his leprosy he was not bidden to show himself to the priest, though he was cured in Jordan, as the Jews that were cured by our Saviour... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 14:10

And on the eighth day ,.... From the leper's first appearance before the priest, and the day after the above things were done, in Leviticus 14:9 , he shall take two he lambs without blemish ; the one for a trespass offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and both typical of Christ the Lamb of God, without spot and blemish: and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish ; for a sin offering, a type of Christ also: and three tenth deals of fine flour, for a meat... read more

And the priest that maketh him clean ,.... By the above rites and ceremonies, and the after sacrifices offered: shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things before the Lord ; the two he lambs, and the ewe lamb; and it seems also the meat offerings, and the log of oil; but these Ben Gersom excepts, and when the leper, with these, is said to be set or presented before the Lord, this must not be understood of his being introduced, into the tabernacle, had of his being... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 14:12

And the priest shall take one he lamb ,.... One of the he lambs brought by the leper for his offering: and offer him for a trespass offering ; for though the leprosy itself was a disorder or disease, and not sinful, yet the cause of it was sin, a trespass against God, and therefore a trespass offering must be offered: which was typical of Christ, whose soul was made a trespass offering, Isaiah 53:10 ; where the same word is used as here: and the log of oil ; See Gill on Leviticus... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 14:13

And he shall slay the lamb ,.... The priest, or the butcher, as the Targum of Jonathan, the slaughterer, the priest appointed for that service; at which time both the hands of the leper were laid upon it, as says the Misnah F16 Negaim, c. 14. sect. 8. ; for though the leper might not go into the court as yet, the sacrifice was brought to the door of the tabernacle for him to put his hands on it: so Maimonides F17 Ut supra. (Hilchot Mechosre Capharah, c. 4. sect. 2.) relates; the... read more

And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering ,.... According to the Misnah F18 Ut supra. (Misn. Negaim, c. 14. sect. 8) , two priests received the blood of it, one in a vessel and the other in his hand; he that received it in a vessel went and sprinkled it upon the wall (or top, as Maimonides F19 Ut supra. (Hilchot Mechosre Capharah, c. 4. sect. 2.) ) of the altar; and he that received it in his hand went to the leper, and the leper having dipped himself... read more

And the priest shall take some of the log of oil ,.... With his right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan adds: and pour it into the palm of his own left hand : but in the original text it is, "pour it into the palm of the priest's left hand": and it is a question, whether he or another priest is meant; according to Aben Ezra, the oil was to be poured into the hand of the priest that was cleansing the leper, and which, he thinks, is plain from what follows; but Gersom thinks it is better... read more
