利未記 14:20 RCUVTS

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 14:1-57

RESTORING OF A LEPER (vv. 1-20) Even a case of leprosy may be healed, though this is not frequently seen in the Old Testament. Miriam's leprosy was healed very soon after her infliction (Numbers 12:9-16) because of the intercession of Moses. She was shut out of the camp only seven days. Naaman was healed of his leprosy, but he was a Gentile (2 Kings 5:1; 2 Kings 5:14), and therefore the Jewish ritual would not apply to him. Many lepers were in Israel at the time, but none of them were healed... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 14:1-57

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 14:1-57

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 14:15-20

The mingling the blood with the oil, beautifully set firth that both the blood of JESUS, and the anointing oil of the HOLY GHOST are essential in their united operations to the salvation of the sinner. May my soul know the precious application of both? read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 14:10-32

10-32 The cleansed leper was to be presented to the Lord, with his offerings. When God has restored us to enjoy public worship again, after sickness, distance, or otherwise, we should testify our thanksgiving by our diligent use of the liberty. And both we and our offerings must be presented before the Lord, by the Priest that made us clean, even our Lord Jesus. Beside the usual rites of the trespass-offering, some of the blood, and some of the oil, was to be put upon him that was to be... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 14:1-32

The Manner Observed in Purifying a Leper v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 2. This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing, when he is found cured of the terrible disease with which he had been suffering: He shall be brought unto the priest; v. 3. and the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper, literally, healed away from, that is, healed and gone away from, a careful... read more

THIRD SECTIONLaws Concerning LeprosyChaps. 13, 14______________PRELIMINARY NOTEThe disease of leprosy has happily become so rare in modern times in the better known parts of the world that much obscurity rests upon its pathology. The attempt will only be made here to point out those matters which may be considered as fixed by common consent, but which will be found sufficient for the illustration of the more important points in the following chapters.In the first place, then, it appears... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 14:1-20

the Law of the Cleansed Leper Leviticus 14:1-20 The penalty, when leprosy had unmistakably declared itself, included compulsory severance from the camp, the rent garments, the bare head, the covered lip, the cry “unclean,” Leviticus 14:45 . Sin severs us from fellowship with God and His saints, and makes us a source of contamination to all in contact with us, though they may not realize that we are defiling them. Being cured, the leper was first restored to the camp , Leviticus 14:1-9 . The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 14:1-57

The possibility of the restoration of a leper to health was recognized and provision was made accordingly. In the case of the individual, the ceremony was elaborate. The priest must first visit him without the camp. If he found that the man was indeed cured of his leprosy, a religious ceremony initiated the movement of his return to communion. Then ere he was admitted to the camp he must himself be washed and his hair shaved. After seven days of waiting there was to be another guilt offering,... read more
