Contextual Overview

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying - 2 This, shall be the law of the leper, in the day when he is declared clean, - he shall be brought in unto the priest; 3 then shall the priest go forth unto the outside of the camp, - and the priest shall take a view, and lo! if the plague of leprosy hath been healed out of the leper,; 4 then shall the priest give command, - and there shall be taken - for him that is to be cleansed - two living clean birds, - and cedar wood, and crimson am hyssop; 5 and the priest shall give command, and one bird shall be slain, - within an earthen vessel over living water: 6 as for the living bird, he shall take, it, and the cedar wood and the crimson, and the hyssop, - and shall dip them and the living bird, in the blood of the bird that hath been slain over the living water; 7 and shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy, seven times, - and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird over the face of the field. 8 And he that is to be declared clean shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and bathe in water, and be clean, and, afterwards, shall he come into the camp, - and dwell outside his tent, seven days; 9 and it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave off all the hair of his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair, shall he shave off, - and shall wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in water so shall he be clean.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This shall be the law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing,.... Or the rules, rites, ceremonies, and sacrifices to be observed therein. Jarchi says, from hence we learn that they were not to purify a leper in the night:

he shall be brought unto the priest: not into the camp, or city, or house, where the priest was, for till he was cleansed he could not be admitted into either; besides, the priest is afterwards said to go forth out of the camp to him; but he was to be brought pretty near the camp or city, where the priest went to meet him. As the leper was an emblem of a polluted sinner, the priest was a type of Christ, to whom leprous sinners must be brought for cleansing; they cannot come of themselves to him, that is, believe in him, except it be given unto them; or they are drawn with the powerful and efficacious grace of God, by which souls are brought to Christ, and enabled to believe in him; not that they are brought against their wills, but being drawn with the cords of love, and through the power of divine grace, sweetly operating upon their hearts, they move towards him with all readiness and willingness, and cast themselves at his feet, saying, as the leper that came to Christ, "Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean", Matthew 8:2 Mark 1:40; and it is grace to allow them to come near him, and amazing goodness in him to receive and cleanse them.
