9 plaga leprae si fuerit in homine adducetur ad sacerdotem

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 quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est et redditus munditiae iterum lepra creverit adducetur ad eum
8 et inmunditiae condemnabitur
9 plaga leprae si fuerit in homine adducetur ad sacerdotem
10 et videbit eum cumque color albus in cute fuerit et capillorum mutarit aspectum ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit
11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur atque inolita cuti contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos et non recludet quia perspicue inmunditia est
