Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 14:23-32

The same rite was used for all characters; to show that sin hath the same polluting property. And nothing but the applied blood of JESUS CHRIST cleansed from sin. The song in heaven is the same as that on earth; it is to him that was slain, and hath redeemed us unto GOD by his blood. Revelation 5:9 . read more

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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 14:21-32

There Is None Too Low That God Will Not Cleanse Them If They Come To Him (Leviticus 14:21-32 ). But many a skin diseased cast-off would find it difficult to provide three animals for sacrifice together with the accompanying grain and oil, and for them God has provided a substitute offering which he may better be able to afford.

Leprosy CleansedSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 14:2.—In the day of his cleansing. Remedy and respite came to the pitiable leper. Although his case seemed forlorn and dismal—unclean, and an outcast—yet the hope was left to him that the plague might be healed, and he be again restored to society and the sanctuary. The darkest lot of human life is illumined by hope; faint may be its ray, yet it breaks the dreariest gloom. Weary indeed were “all the days wherein the plague was in him” (Leviticus... read more
