Leviticus 14:23 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:23

And he shall bring them on the eighth day, for his cleansing,
&c.] Which supposes him to have gone through all the rites and ceremonies of cleansing throughout the seven days, from his first appearance before the priest; such as his being sprinkled with the cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet, dipped in the blood of the slain bird, mixed with running water; the shaving off of his hair, and washing his flesh and clothes in water; all which being done, on the eighth day he was to bring his lamb for a trespass offering, and one tenth deal of fine flour, for a meat offering, and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering: unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before the Lord;
where the rich man also and his offerings were presented; (See Gill on Leviticus 14:11); and the same rites are enjoined for the cleansing of the poor leper as the rich one, in ( Leviticus 14:23-31 ) , of which see the notes on ( Leviticus 14:12-21 ) , signifying that they are not exempt from duty, or abridged of any privilege on account of poverty; the persons and services of the people of God being equally acceptable to him, whether rich or poor.

Leviticus 14:23 In-Context

21 If you are poor and cannot afford any more, you shall bring for your purification only one male lamb as your repayment offering, a special gift to the Lord for the priest. You shall bring only two pounds of flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering and half a pint of olive oil.
22 You shall also bring two doves or two pigeons, one for the sin offering and one for the burnt offering.
23 On the eighth day of your purification you shall bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent.
24 The priest shall take the lamb and the olive oil and present them as a special gift to the Lord for the priest.
25 He shall kill the lamb and take some of the blood and put it on the lobe of your right ear, on the thumb of your right hand, and on the big toe of your right foot.
