Many people think that in order to become a Christian we must do something. For some it means being faithful in attendance at Church. For others it may mean that you must be baptized and when you go under the water that will wash away your sin. All we need is to trust in His shed … More
After you think you are healed of leprosy you must ask for a priest to come outside the camp and examine you (vv. 1-3). And if you are well, he will have someone bring out two live birds that are acceptable for sacrifice, together with a stick of cedar wood, a piece of red yarn, and a branch from a hyssop plant (v. 4). The priest will have someone kill one of the birds over a clay pot of spring water (v. 5). Then he will dip the other bird, the cedar, the red yarn, and the hyssop in the blood of the dead bird (v. 6). Next, he will sprinkle you seven times with the blood and say, “You are now clean (v. 7).” Finally, he will release the bird and let it fly away. After this you must wash your clothes, shave your entire body, and take a bath before you are completely clean (vv. 8-9).
On the eighth day you must bring a half pint of olive oil and six pounds of your finest flour mixed with oil to my sacred tent (vv. 10-11). There he will offer one of the rams, together with the pint of oil, as a sacrifice (vv. 12=13). The priest will smear some of the blood from this sacrifice on your right ear lobe, some on your right thumb, and some on the big toe of your right foot (v. 14). He will sprinkle some of it seven times toward the sacred tent (vv. 15-16). Next, he will smear some of the oil on your right ear lobe, on your right thumb, and on the big toe of your right foot, and pour the rest of the oil on your head (vv. 17-20). Then he will offer the other two animals with a grain sacrifice. After this you will be completely clean.
If you are poor and cannot afford to offer this much, you may offer a ram, two doves or two pigeons as a sacrifice on the eighth day (vv. 21-23). The priest will kill this ram for the sacrifice to make things right, and he will lift it up with the olive oil in dedication to me (vv. 24-25). The priest will pour some olive oil into the palm of his left hand (v. 26), and sprinkle some of it seven times toward the sacred tent(vv. 27-28). And he will pour the rest of the oil from his palm on your head (vv. 29-31). These are the things you must do if you have leprosy and cannot afford the usual sacrifices to make you clean (v. 32).
Application
Leprosy could only be taken care of by blood. like my sin can only be covered by the blood of Christ.
