Lévitique 13:44 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:44

He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean
And so to be pronounced and accounted; only a leprous man is mentioned, there being no leprous women, having this sort of leprosy, their hair not falling off, or they becoming bald, usually; unless, as Ben Gersom observes, in a manner strange and wonderful:

the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean;
as in any other case of leprosy:

his plague [is] in his head;
an emblem of such who have imbibed bad notions and erroneous principles, and are therefore, like the leper, to be avoided and rejected from the communion of the saints, ( Titus 3:10 ) ; and shows that men are accountable for their principles as well as practices, and liable to be punished for them.

Lévitique 13:44 In-Context

42 Mais s'il y a dans la partie chauve de derrière ou de devant, une plaie d'un blanc rougeâtre, c'est une lèpre qui a fait éruption dans la partie chauve de derrière ou de devant.
43 Le sacrificateur l'examinera; et si la tumeur de la plaie est d'un blanc rougeâtre, dans la partie chauve de derrière ou de devant, semblable à la lèpre de la peau du corps,
44 Cet homme est lépreux, il est souillé; le sacrificateur le déclarera souillé; sa plaie est à la tête.
45 Or le lépreux qui sera atteint de la plaie aura ses vêtements déchirés, et la tête nue; il se couvrira la barbe et criera: Souillé! souillé!
46 Tout le temps qu'il aura la plaie, il sera souillé; il est souillé; il demeurera seul, son habitation sera hors du camp.
