How preachers through history handled this text

7 public-domain excerpts on Leviticus 13, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 5 Calvin 1 John Wesley 1

Or, in a burn by accident, ver. #(24). The burning of strife and contention often occasions the rising and breaking out of that corruption, which proves that men are unclean. Human life lies exposed to many grievances. With what troops of diseases are we beset on every side; and thy all entered by sin! …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Leviticus 13:18–44 (Public Domain)
