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 quod si pauper est et non potest manus eius invenire quae dicta sunt adsumet agnum pro delicto ad oblationem ut roget pro eo sacerdos decimamque partem similae conspersae oleo in sacrificium et olei sextarium
22 duosque turtures sive duos pullos columbae quorum sit unus pro peccato et alter in holocaustum
23 offeretque ea die octavo purificationis suae sacerdoti ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino
24 qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei levabit simul
25 immolatoque agno de sanguine eius ponet super extremum auriculae dextrae illius qui mundatur et super pollices manus eius ac pedis dextri
