Levítico 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 ) .

Levítico 13:9 In-Context

7 »Si la erupción se le sigue extendiendo sobre la piel luego de haberse presentado ante el sacerdote para su purificación, la persona enferma tendrá que volver a presentarse ante él.

8 El sacerdote la examinará, y si la erupción se ha extendido sobre la piel, declarará impura a esa persona, pues se trata de una enfermedad infecciosa.

9 »Cuando una persona tenga una infección en la piel, deberá ser llevada ante el sacerdote,

10 quien la examinará. Si ocurre que la inflamación y el vello se han puesto blancos, y se ve la carne viva,

11 se trata de una infección crónica. El sacerdote declarará impura a tal persona. Pero no hará falta aislarla otra vez, porque ya se sabe que es impura.
