Leviticus 14:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:11

And the priest that maketh [him] clean
By the above rites and ceremonies, and the after sacrifices offered:

shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things
before the Lord;
the two he lambs, and the ewe lamb; and it seems also the meat offerings, and the log of oil; but these Ben Gersom excepts, and when the leper, with these, is said to be set or presented before the Lord, this must not be understood of his being introduced, into the tabernacle, had of his being placed in the court itself; for as yet, as Jarchi says, he was "Mechoser Cippurim", one that needed expiation, and therefore, till that was done, could not be admitted; but he was set

[at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;
at the eastern gate, which afterwards, when the temple was built, was called the gate of Nicanor, and lay between the court of the women and the court of the Israelites: thus everyone that has received favours from the Lord, by restoration of health, or by deliverance from dangers, or be it in whatsoever way it will, should present himself and his sacrifice of praise unto him; and his case should be presented in a public manner before the congregation of the saints by the minister of it, in token of gratitude and thankfulness for mercies received.

Leviticus 14:11 In-Context

9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head, and his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth-parts of fine flour [for] a meat-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 And the priest that maketh [him] clean, shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
12 And the priest shall take one he-lamb, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them [for] a wave-offering before the LORD.
13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy-place: for as the sin-offering [is] the priest's, [so is] the trespass-offering: it [is] most holy.
