Leviticus 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:9

When the plague of leprosy is in a man
He has all the signs of it, and it is pretty manifest both to himself and others that it is upon him;

then he shall be brought unto the priest;
by his friends and neighbours, if he is not willing to come of himself: a sinner insensible of the leprosy of sin, and of his unclean and miserable state through it, has no will to come to Christ the great High Priest for cleansing; but one that is sensible of it, and of Christ's ability to help and cleanse him, will come freely and gladly, and importunately seek to him for it; though indeed such an one is brought by powerful and efficacious grace to him, yet not against, but with his full will; see ( John 5:40 ) ( John 6:37 John 6:44 ) ; compare with this ( Matthew 8:1-3 ) ( Luke 17:12-14 ) .

Leviticus 13:9 In-Context

7 "But suppose the rash spreads in the skin after he has shown himself to the priest a second time. Then he must appear in front of the priest again.
8 The priest must look carefully at the sore. If the rash has spread, he must announce that the person is 'unclean.' He has a skin disease.
9 "When anyone has a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10 The priest must look him over carefully. Suppose there is a white swelling in the skin. Suppose it has turned the hair white. And suppose there are open sores in the swelling.
11 Then the person has a skin disease that will never go away. The priest must announce that he is 'unclean.' The priest must not make the person stay away from everyone else. He is already 'unclean.'
