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'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

Joseph Parker

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 13:3

How sweetly is the SPIRIT's work here pointed out in the priest's looking into the case of the diseased Israelite. JESUS'S SPIRIT is that blessed gift to a poor sinner, which first convinceth of sin. John 16:8 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 13:4

And how sweetly is the case of a fearful, doubting mind, described by this supposed uncertainly of the disease? Reader! how often when the HOLY GHOST hath been leading you to JESUS, your high priest, how often have you afterwards doubted whether the thing be real? John 5:13 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 13:5

Ought not this state of suspense to teach believers an useful lesson, to wait the LORD'S time upon all occasions of doubt? Habakkuk 2:2 . And ought not ministers, in a very particular manner, to learn here from with what caution they should decide in all cases of a spiritual nature? 1 Corinthians 4:1-5 . read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 13:6

Observe, the priest is not to say the leper is healed, but pronounce him clean. Reader! remark with me how evidently this refers to the cleansing from sin by the blood of JESUS. The ten lepers, which came to JESUS, were not said to be healed, but cleansed. And this was as they went, according to his command, to show themselves to the priest. Dearest JESUS! when drawing nigh to show myself to thee, as the high priest, being led thereto by the constraining influence of thy HOLY SPIRIT, so may I... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:3

Flesh. These two signs indicated the species of leprosy called volatile, or impetigo, (Menochius) resembling a scab, which did not penetrate the flesh or bones, as our leprosy or elephantiasis does. (Vales.; Chap. xix.) --- Separated from society. Hebrew, "he shall contaminate him." See ver. 11. (Haydock) --- Some assert, that the physician was first to be consulted. But none but the priests could declare them unclean, or set them at liberty. After they had pronounced sentence, the lepers... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:6

Obscure. Some translate the Hebrew "retired," with the Syriac and Arabic versions. --- Scab, "an ebullition," or pustule. (Theodoret; St. Jerome in Nah. ii.) --- Clothes, and himself. See Chap. xi. 40. 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
