Leviticus 14:2+ 14:2. Lev 14:2 (Lev 14:1-20) (#3.217): Directions for the cleansing of a leper (ritual) Note: This ritual is to be done with the offerings of cedar wood, hyssop, scarlet wool, two birds, and spring water. The complete ritual is described in (v1-20) (See more notes in Lev 13:33 OU213) “This shall be the Torah ·Teaching· of + 14:2 Ch. 14 in Judaism, Leprosy is Tzara'at: The Rabbis teach that the Hebrew word metzora ·person afflicted with tzara'at · is a contraction of the words motzi rah which means ·one who spreads slander·. This chapter is as much about slander as it is about the disease of tzara'at. The “treatment” or punishment for such a person was being outcast for a period of time. During this time of isolation, the metzorah could reflect on the damage done by his or her words. Once the condition had been cured, the metzorah then offered a sacrifice which included two birds; one bird to slaughter and one bird to set free. Rashi says that God wanted the metzorah to sacrifice birds in order to remind the person about the sin of chattering like a bird. In Midrash Shocher Tov it reads, “The damage done by evil talk is compared to the piercing, irreparable destruction of an arrow. Why is the tongue compared to an arrow? An arrow cannot be called back once it has been shot, even if the marksman wishes to do so. Just as the victim does not know about it until it actually reaches him, so the effects of evil talk are not felt until the arrows of a wicked person pierce him.” the + 14:2 (2-3) (context all ch 13-14) MP: Only God can heal leprosy; really this is not Hansen’s disease but a divine-origin disease called tzara'at in Hebrew. Only God can afflict and only God can remove. Messiah has the authority of God to preform healing works that only God alone can accomplish such as healing disabilities. Examples: God applies the disease at will: (Ex 4:5-8; Num 12:10, 2 King 5:27); God only can heal the disease as He wills (Num 12:13-15; 2 King 5:1-8,5:14-15). (Luke 17:14) refers to (Lev 14:1-9). (Matt 11:5; Mark 1:40-44; Luke 5:12-14, 17:12-14 (context 17:11-19)) leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest, + 14:2.
