John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 14:16

And the priest shall dip his right finger ,.... The finger of his right hand, the forefinger of it: in the oil that is in his left hand ; either that is in his own left hand, or in the left hand of a fellow priest: and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord ; that is, over against the house of the holy of holies, as Jarchi, where Jehovah dwelt; but standing at the same time at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, which was eastward, and so... read more

And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand ,.... That was either in the hand of the priest that was cleansing, or in the hand of his fellow priest; such of it as was left after some of it had been sprinkled seven times before the Lord: shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot ; signifying that these parts in the leprous sinner need to be sanctified by the grace of... read more

And the remnant of the oil that is in the priests hand ,.... Either in the hand of the priest that makes the leper clean, or in the hand of a fellow priest; what was left of that after some of it had been sprinkled seven times before the Lord, and after other of it had been put upon the several parts of the leper, as directed in Leviticus 14:17 , he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed ; for the plague of leprosy was sometimes in the head, Leviticus 13:44 ; and... read more

And the priest shall offer the sin offering ,.... This was the ewe lamb, according to the rite of every sin offering, as Aben Ezra says; and was typical of Christ, as all such offerings were, who was made sin and a sin offering for his people: and make an atonement for him that was to be cleansed from his uncleanness ; for it seems the atonement was not perfected by the trespass offering and all the preceding rites; but a sin offering was necessary both on account of moral uncleanness,... read more

And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar ,.... The meat offering which belonged to that, and went along with it, even one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil; but no mention being made of any meat offering with the other offerings already offered, the trespass offering and the sin offering; some say, as Aben Ezra observes, that the whole meat offering, consisting of three tenth deals of fine flour, was offered with the burnt offering, which... read more

And if he be poor, and cannot get so much ,.... As three lambs, and three tenth deals of fine flour: then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him ; one he lamb, and was excused the other he lamb for a burnt offering, and the ewe lamb for a sin offering; but a lamb he must bring, a type of Christ the Lamb of God, for without his blood and sacrifice there is no atonement for rich poor, but for both thereby: and one tenth deal of flour... read more

And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get ,.... As good as he can get for his money, or his money he is possessed of will purchase; but if he was not able to purchase these of the better sort, the best he could get would be acceptable; so indulgent, kind, and merciful was God to the poor in this case; these were instead of the other two lambs required of those that were able to bring them, and answered all the purposes of them: and the one shall be a sin... read more
