7 And he shall asprinkle it bseven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field.
8 He who is to be cleansed ashall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bwash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and cshall stay outside his tent seven days.
9 But on the aseventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean.
10 “And on the eighth day ahe shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as ba grain offering, and one log of oil.
11 Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and aoffer it as a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and bwave them as a wave offering before the Lord.
13 Then he shall kill the lamb ain the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for bas the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. cIt is most holy.
The best of all types of the healing of the Spirit, was the healing of the leper. In his formal cleansing, consecration, and atonement by sacrifice (see the notes at Leviticus 14:9-20), the ministers of the sanctuary bore public witness that he was restored to the blessing of communion with his brethren and with Yahweh. Hence, when the Son of God proved His divine mission by healing the lepers Matthew 11:5, He did not excuse them from going to the priest to "offer for the cleansing those things which Moses commanded" Mark 1:44; Luke 5:14 "for a testimony to the people" Matthew 8:4.
