THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "These are the instructions for the infected person at the time of his cleansing. First, bring him to the priest. The priest will take him outside the camp and make an examination; if the infected person has been healed of the serious skin disease, the priest will order two live, clean birds, some cedar wood, scarlet thread, and hyssop to be brought for the one to be cleansed. The priest will order him to kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. The priest will then take the live bird with the cedar wood, the scarlet thread, and the hyssop and dip them in the blood of the dead bird over fresh water and then sprinkle the person being cleansed from the serious skin disease seven times and pronounce him clean. Finally, he will release the live bird in the open field. The cleansed person, after washing his clothes, shaving off all his hair, and bathing with water, is clean. Afterwards he may again enter the camp, but he has to live outside his tent for seven days. On the seventh day, he must shave off all his hair—from his head, beard, eyebrows, all of it. He then must wash his clothes and bathe all over with water. He will be clean.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... In order to deliver the same to Aaron, who, and the priests his successors, were chiefly to be concerned in the execution of the law given:

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The leper was excluded not only from the sanctuary but from the camp. The ceremony of restoration which he had to undergo was therefore twofold. The first part, performed outside the camp, entitled him to come within and to mix with his brethren, Leviticus 14:3-9. The second part, performed in the court of the tabernacle and separated from the first by an interval of seven days, restored him to all the privileges of the covenant with Yahweh, Leviticus 14:10-32.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

cleansing the leper, 1-3.

Two living birds, cedar-wood, scarlet, and hyssop, to be

brought for him who was to be cleansed, 4.

One of the birds to be killed, 5;

and the living bird, with the cedar-wood, scarlet, and hyssop,

to be dipped in the blood, and to be sprinkled on him who had

been infected with the leprosy, 6, 7;

after which he must wash his clothes, shave his head, eye

brows, beard, c., bathe himself, tarry abroad seven days, 8, 9

on the eighth day he must bring two he-lambs, one ewe lamb,

a tenth deal of flour, and a log of oil, 10;

which the priest was to present as a trespass-offering,

wave-offering, and sin-offering before the Lord, 11-13.

Afterwards he was to sprinkle both the blood and oil on the

person to be cleansed, 14-18.
