利未記 13:9-10 RCUVTS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:1-46

THE UNCLEANNESS OF LEPROSYLeviticus 13:1-46THE interpretation of this chapter presents no little difficulty. The description of the diseases with which the law here deals is not given in a scientific form; the point of view, as the purpose of all, is strictly practical. As for the Hebrew word rendered "leprosy," it does not itself give any light as to the nature of the disease thus designated. The word simply means "a stroke," as also does the generic term used in Leviticus 13:2 and elsewhere,... read more

3. Leprosy: Type of Indwelling Sin CHAPTER 13 1. Leprosy in a person (Leviticus 13:1-46 ) 2. The infected garment. (Leviticus 13:47-57 ) 3. The cleansing of the garment (Leviticus 13:58-59 ) The entire chapter treats of leprosy. It has been argued from the side of critics that the disease described here is not the one we know as leprosy, but only a similar disease of the skin. The arguments advanced to support this objection are silenced by Matthew 8:1-4 . The man who came to our Lord... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 13:1-59

LAWS CONCERNING LEPROSY (vv. 1-44) The seriousness of the plague of leprosy is emphasized by the fact that two long chapters are devoted to this subject. The physical illness, however, is significant of that which is far more serious spiritually. In Chapter 12 have seen the sinful nature of mankind dealt with; now this chapter considers that which speaks of the outbreak of the nature in sinful activity. For, though we are not responsible for having a sinful nature, yet we are responsible if... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:1-59

THE TYPICAL DISEASE Here we have what appears like a treatise on leprosy, but it is not introduced simply for medical purposes. There were other diseases more serious, but this is singled out and made the subject of special regulations because of its typical character. It is a parable of sin, drawn by the divine hand of the workings, developments and effects of inborn depravity. The disease is diagnosed under four heads: (1) leprosy rising spontaneously (Leviticus 1:17 ); (2) rising out of a... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 13:1-59

The Law of Leprosy Leviticus 13:0 , Leviticus 14:0 The thirteenth and fourteenth chapters are occupied with the question of leprosy. With that disease we have now, happily, nothing to do in this country; yet those who care to peruse the note at the end of this discourse will find that England was once ravaged by that terrible disease. It would be pleasant to turn over the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters, and to escape to subjects less revolting; but pleasure is not the law of life. It is... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 13:10-17

Observe, everything here indicates the spiritual disease of the soul. It is an old disease. It is folded up in the heart, and is not merely skin deep. A sinner is full of wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores. Isaiah 1:5 . And none but the Priest of priests, even the LORD JESUS CHRIST, that great High Priest of our profession, can cleanse from sin. 1 John 1:7 . read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:10

Living flesh. The leprosy is caused by immense numbers of worms, which crawl between the skin and the flesh, and sometimes infect the latter, and they very bones, garments, &c. Hence the flesh seems all in motion, and living. (Haydock) --- The different spots in the skin represent heretical opinions obscuring the true faith, of which priests are the judges. (Deuteronomy xvii.; St. Augustine, q. Evang. ii. 40.) (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 13:1-17

1-17 The plague of leprosy was an uncleanness, rather than a disease. Christ is said to cleanse lepers, not to cure them. Common as the leprosy was among the Hebrews, during and after their residence in Egypt, we have no reason to believe that it was known among them before. Their distressed state and employment in that land must have rendered them liable to disease. But it was a plague often inflicted immediately by the hand of God. Miriam's leprosy, and Gehazi's, and king Uzziah's, were... 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
