The priest acts as an inspector, ensuring the purity of the community. The removal of contaminated stones symbolizes the need to eliminate sin and impurity from one's life. This act of purification reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness and separation from sin, as seen in passages like <a href="/1_corinthians/5-7.htm">1 Corinthians 5:7</a>, where Paul speaks of removing the "old leaven" to be a new batch.<p><b>and thrown into an unclean place</b><br>The disposal of the stones in an unclean place signifies the separation of impurity from the community. This practice underscores the importance of maintaining holiness within the camp of Israel, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/23-14.htm">Deuteronomy 23:14</a>, where God walks among His people and requires their camp to be holy. The unclean place represents the world outside of God's covenant community, a place where sin and impurity are cast away.<p><b>outside the city</b><br>The requirement to take the contaminated stones outside the city highlights the need to keep the community pure and free from defilement. This mirrors the practice of taking the scapegoat into the wilderness on the Day of Atonement (<a href="/leviticus/16-10.htm">Leviticus 16:10</a>), symbolizing the removal of sin from the people. It also foreshadows the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, who was taken outside the city of Jerusalem to be crucified (<a href="/hebrews/13-12.htm">Hebrews 13:12</a>), bearing the sins of the world and fulfilling the ultimate act of purification.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/priest.htm">Priest</a></b><br>The priest acts as a mediator between God and the people, responsible for diagnosing and addressing issues of impurity, including those affecting buildings.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/c/contaminated_stones.htm">Contaminated Stones</a></b><br>These represent elements within a structure that have been affected by mold or mildew, symbolizing sin or impurity that must be removed to restore holiness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/u/unclean_place.htm">Unclean Place</a></b><br>A designated area outside the city where impure items are disposed of, signifying separation from the community and the presence of God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/city.htm">City</a></b><br>Represents the community of God's people, which must remain pure and undefiled.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/event_of_purification.htm">Event of Purification</a></b><br>The process of removing contaminated stones is part of a broader ritual of purification, emphasizing the need for holiness in all aspects of life.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_in_community.htm">Holiness in Community</a></b><br>Just as the Israelites were instructed to remove impurity from their midst, Christians are called to maintain purity within their communities by addressing sin and promoting holiness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_leadership.htm">Role of Leadership</a></b><br>The priest's role in diagnosing and addressing impurity highlights the responsibility of spiritual leaders to guide their communities in matters of holiness and discipline.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/separation_from_sin.htm">Separation from Sin</a></b><br>The act of removing contaminated stones to an unclean place outside the city serves as a metaphor for the need to separate ourselves from sin and its influences.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/restoration_and_renewal.htm">Restoration and Renewal</a></b><br>The process of purification is not just about removal but also about restoration, emphasizing God's desire to renew and restore His people to a state of holiness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_stones.htm">Symbolism of Stones</a></b><br>The contaminated stones can symbolize areas in our lives that need examination and cleansing, encouraging self-reflection and repentance.<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/who_was_lydia_in_the_bible.htm">Who was Lydia in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_stoning_contradict_'do_not_kill'.htm">Does the prescribed stoning for blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14) contradict the Sixth Commandment against killing (Exodus 20:13)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_there_evidence_for_john_8_3-5's_procedure.htm">John 8:3-5: Is there historical or legal evidence that supports the described procedure for dealing with adultery under Jewish law?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_bible's_stance_on_stoning.htm">What is the Bible's stance on stoning?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/14-40.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">[he]</span><br /><span class="heb">הַכֹּהֵ֔ן</span> <span class="translit">(hak·kō·hên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
