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 "But if the one to be cleansed is poor and cannot afford that much, he must take one male lamb, present it to make peace with the LORD for himself, and use it for his guilt offering. He will take only eight cups of flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering, a quart of olive oil,

22 and two mourning doves or two pigeons (whatever he can afford). The one will be an offering for sin and the other a burnt offering.

23 On the eighth day he will take them to the priest for his cleansing at the entrance to the tent of meeting in the LORD's presence.

24 The priest will take the lamb for the guilt offering and the quart of olive oil and present them to the LORD.

25 He will slaughter the lamb as a guilt offering. Then the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right ear lobe, on the right thumb, and on the big toe of the right foot of the one to be cleansed.
