Leviticus 13:52 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:52

He shall therefore burn that garment
That there may be no more use of it, nor profit from it; and this was done without the city, as Ben Gersom asserts:

whether in warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or anything of skin,
wherein the plague is;
all and either of them were to be burnt:

for it [is] a fretting leprosy; (See Gill on Leviticus 13:51):

it shall be burnt in the fire;
which may teach both to hate the garment spotted with the flesh, and to put no trust in and have no dependence on a man's own righteousness, which is as filthy rags, and both are such as shall be burnt, and the loss of them suffered, even when a man himself is saved, yet so as by fire, ( 1 Corinthians 3:15 ) .

51 And again he shall behold it in the seventh day, and if he perceiveth, that the leprosy therein hath waxed, it shall be deemed [a] continual leprosy; he shall deem that cloth defouled, and all thing(s) in which it is found; (And he shall examine it again on the seventh day, and if he perceiveth, that the leprosy in it hath grown, it shall be judged an abiding leprosy; he shall judge that cloak to be defiled, and all the things in which it is found;)

52 and therefore the cloth shall be burnt with flames of fire. (and so the cloak shall be burned in the fire.)

53 And if the priest seeth that the spot hath waxed not, (And if the priest seeth that the spot hath not grown, or not spread,)

54 he shall command, and they shall wash that thing wherein the leprosy is, and he shall close it again seven other days (and he shall enclose it for another seven days);
