Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 14:1-57

Chapter 14In chapter fourteen it begins with very fascinating words,And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing ( Leviticus 14:1-2 ):Interesting, indeed, because leprosy is incurable. So God in the law made provision for the operation of His grace apart from human instrument. For in a technical sense leprosy was incurable, it is still incurable to the present day. And yet God has made there within the law the provision giving Him the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 14:1-57

Leviticus 14:3. The plague of leprosy. This loathsome disease rendered the body torpid, and severely depressed the spirits, as is affirmed by our learned travellers in the east.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 14:1-32

THE CEREMONIAL CLEANSING OF THE LEPER, Leviticus 14:1-32. Our position that the treatment of the leprosy was founded on ceremonial, rather than sanitary, grounds, is confirmed by the minute ritual required for the cleansing of the leper after he has been healed, together with the total absence of any medicinal prescriptions for his cure. By what natural means this was ever effected we are not informed in the Scriptures. The only cures which are detailed are miraculous, as Miriam, in answer to... read more
