Leviticus 13:34-45 – And on the seventh day the priest shall
examine the itch, and if the itch has not spread in the skin and it appears to
be no deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. And he shall wash his clothes and be clean. But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing, then the priest shall
examine him, and if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek
for the yellow hair; he is unclean. But if in his eyes
the itch is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, the itch is healed and he
is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean. “When a man or a
woman has spots on the skin of the body, white spots, the priest shall
look, and if the spots on the skin of the body are of a dull white, it is
leukoderma that has broken out in the skin; he is clean. “If a man's
hair falls out from his head, he is bald; he is clean. And if a man's hair
falls out from his forehead, he has baldness of the forehead; he is clean. But if there is on
the bald head or the bald forehead a reddish-white diseased area, it is a
leprous disease breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead. Then the priest shall
examine him, and if the diseased swelling is reddish-white on his bald head or
on his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprous disease in the skin of the
body, he is a leprous man, he is unclean.
The priest must pronounce him unclean; his disease is on his head. “The
leprous person who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and
he shall cover his
upper lip and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean.’
Numbers
5:3 – You shall put out both male
and female, putting them outside the camp, that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”
Application:
- · The essential issue was the presence of the Lord in the camp; there can be no uncleanness where He dwells.
