Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 13:47-59

The apostle Jude, no doubt in allusion to this defiled state of the garment, speaks of the hatred that is to be shown to such as are spotted by the flesh. Jude 1:23 . Nothing can more fully indicate the dreadful malignity which there is in sin. It soils all that it comes near, and defiles everything with which it is once connected. Well might one of old exclaim, LORD cleanse thou me from secret faults. Psalms 19:12 . Dearest and ever blessed JESUS! do thou wash me from all the leprosy of sin in... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 13:47-59

47-59 The garment suspected to be tainted with leprosy was not to be burned immediately. If, upon search, it was found that there was a leprous spot, it must be burned, or at least that part of it. If it proved to be free, it must be washed, and then might be used. This also sets forth the great evil there is in sin. It not only defiles the sinner's conscience, but it brings a stain upon all he has and all that he does. And those who make their clothes servants to their pride and lust, may see... read more

Ordinances Concerning Leprosy. v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, v. 2. When a man, a person of either sex, shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a raised spot on the epidermis, or cuticle, of his skin, a scab, or bright spot, one of a whitish tinge, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy, the characteristic spot or sore which indicated the presence of the dread disease, then he shall be brought unto Aaron, the priest, or unto one of his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 13:1-59

Here we have a section (chapters 13, 14) wholly devoted to the subject of leprosy. The disease was dealt with as one which is loathsome, whose tendency is to spread, and which is contagious. The whole community must be zealously safeguarded. Therefore, there must be no carelessness in the method of dealing with leprosy. In the instructions two principles of perpetual importance are manifested. The first is the necessity for guarding the general health of the community and the second is that... read more

Deliverance From A Fungoid Plague In What We Wear (Leviticus 13:47-59 ). The laws of uncleanness now move on to uncleanness in clothing. It is quite possible from what follows that in the conditions under which they lived in the wilderness, and possibly even continuing into Canaan, there were types of fungus that could infest clothing which were especially dangerous to men and women. It may have been a type of fungus unknown to us, although we are, of course, familiar with types of mould... read more

Leviticus 13:1-Acts : . General Procedure.— Certain classes of signs arouse suspicion. The priest is to inspect. If he sees them to be distinctly leprous, the patient is to be so treated; otherwise he is to be secluded for one or two periods of seven days; if there is no further spreading, he is discharged clean.” Leviticus 13:1-Ruth : . First Case.— A ring or scab on the flesh. If there are white hairs more than skin-deep, the disease is present. Leviticus 13:9-Esther : . Recovery of... read more

Leprosy: its Discobery and TreatmentSUGGESTIVE READINGSGathering into view the circumstantial and concise description of the malady here given; the directions concerning leprosy may be thus analysed and arranged: Symptoms of leprosy:1. Their minuteness: small in their beginnings, trifling skin blemishes or hair defects, scarcely distinguishable at the outset, evasive therefore, and subtle.2. Their intricacy: so resembling other ailments, in some cases rising out of other blemishes and wounds;... read more

DISCOURSE: 125FIRE ON THE ALTAR NOT TO GO OUTLeviticus 13:0. The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar: it shall never go out.IT is a matter of deep regret that religious persons do not enter more fully into the Jewish Ritual, and explore with more accuracy the mysteries contained in it. And I am not sure that Ministers, whose office properly leads them to unfold the sacred volume to their people, are not chargeable with a great measure of this remissness, in that they are not more careful.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:1-59

Chapter 13As we get into chapter thirteen, God is dealing with the subject of leprosy, and the priests were given instructions on how to diagnose leprosy, a breaking out on a person's body. The examination of it, the color of hairs that are in the blotch and so forth, so that the priest can truly identify the leper. Now it was two-fold. Number one, if it was indeed leprosy, and many times they would set them apart for seven days and re-examine them to see if there be any change of condition.... read more
