Skin diseases, often translated as "leprosy," encompass a variety of skin conditions. In ancient Israel, these conditions rendered a person ceremonially unclean, impacting their ability to participate in community and worship. The law provided a means for restoration and reintegration into society. This reflects God's concern for both physical and spiritual purity among His people.<p><b>on the day of his cleansing</b><br>The "day of his cleansing" signifies a pivotal moment for the afflicted individual. It marks the transition from impurity to purity, from exclusion to inclusion. This cleansing process is not merely physical but also spiritual, symbolizing forgiveness and restoration. The day of cleansing foreshadows the ultimate cleansing from sin through Jesus Christ, who heals and restores believers.<p><b>when he is brought to the priest</b><br>The priest acts as a mediator between God and the people, a role that prefigures Christ as the ultimate High Priest. The involvement of the priest underscores the importance of divine authority in the process of cleansing. The priest's examination and declaration of cleanliness are essential for the individual's reintegration into the community. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's provision for reconciliation and the necessity of a mediator in the process of redemption.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_afflicted_person.htm">The Afflicted Person</a></b><br>This refers to an individual suffering from a skin disease, often translated as "leprosy" in older versions, but encompassing a range of skin conditions.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest.htm">The Priest</a></b><br>The priest acts as a mediator and examiner, determining the cleanliness of the afflicted person according to the law.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_cleansing.htm">The Day of Cleansing</a></b><br>This is a significant event marking the transition from impurity to purity, allowing the afflicted person to re-enter the community and worship.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_law.htm">The Law</a></b><br>Refers to the specific instructions given by God to Moses regarding the purification process for those healed from skin diseases.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_camp/community.htm">The Camp/Community</a></b><br>The broader Israelite community from which the afflicted person was isolated and to which they would be restored upon cleansing.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_priest.htm">The Role of the Priest</a></b><br>The priest serves as a mediator, reflecting Christ's role as our High Priest who intercedes for us and declares us clean through His sacrifice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_community.htm">The Importance of Community</a></b><br>Restoration to the community emphasizes the value of fellowship and the need for spiritual and social reintegration after a period of isolation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_cleansing.htm">Spiritual Cleansing</a></b><br>Just as physical cleansing was necessary for re-entry into the community, spiritual cleansing through repentance and faith in Christ is essential for fellowship with God and His people.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_law.htm">Obedience to God's Law</a></b><br>The detailed instructions for cleansing highlight the importance of obedience to God's commands and the seriousness of sin and impurity.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/gratitude_for_healing.htm">Gratitude for Healing</a></b><br>Recognizing God's provision for cleansing should lead to a heart of gratitude and worship, much like the one leper who returned to thank Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_14.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 14</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_one_leper_thank_jesus.htm">Why did only one healed leper return to thank Jesus?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_'unclean!'_compassionate_or_superstitious.htm">Does requiring afflicted individuals to cry “Unclean!” reflect compassion or reinforce superstition (Leviticus 13:45–46)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_a_7-day_disease_cure_credible.htm">How credible is it that an apparently contagious disease is healed precisely in seven days (Numbers 12:14–15) without leaving lasting physical complications? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_for_ten_lepers'_healing.htm">What historical or medical evidence supports the ten lepers' instantaneous healing (Luke 17:11-19)?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/14.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(2) <span class= "bld">This shall be the law of the leper.</span>--That is, the manner in which an Israelite cured of his leprosy shall be purified and restored to the communion of the sanctuary on the day when he is pronounced clean.<p><span class= "bld">He shall be brought unto the priest.</span>--He is to be conducted from his place of seclusion (see <a href="/leviticus/13-46.htm" title="All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.">Leviticus 13:46</a>) to an appointed place on the borders of the camp.
