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

Bible Comments

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 find my soul to be cleansed, and do thou thyself pronounce me clean by thy blood. Matthew 8:2-3; Luke 17:12-14.

Leviticus 13:6

6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
