How preachers through history handled this text
8 public-domain excerpts on Leviticus 14, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The cleansed leper was to be presented to the Lord, with his offerings. When God has restored us to enjoy public worship again, after sickness, distance, or otherwise, we should testify our thanksgiving by our diligent use of the liberty. And both we and our offerings must be presented before the Lord, by the Priest that made us clean, even our Lord Jesus. Beside the usual rites of the trespass-offering, some of the blood, and some of the oil, was to be put upon him that was to be cleansed. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Leviticus 14:10–32 (Public Domain)
