Reading Questions

  1. What was the sin offering for in Leviticus 12:6?

Reading Notes

  • I wonder if the time period of the one with a leprous infection being shut up is a time for personal reflection and/or repentance? Is it possible if it is due to sin that perhaps the person, if they repented to Yahweh within the first or second set of seven day segregations that they would be healed, and if not, it would spread further? I do not know. Just sharing my thoughts. I'm not saying leprosy was always due to sin, but certainly it is possible sometimes it could be as in 2 Chronicles 26:19-21.
  • "Cover the upper lip" in Leviticus 13:45 could mean how we put our hands in a way near our mouth to yell loudly far away better, but another understanding is to let your mustache grow long and not trim it (2 Samuel 19:24), or it could mean both in this case. I'm not sure.
  • Notice the garment with the infection is burned in Leviticus 13:52 and 13:57. We do not want to have garments with an infection; we want pure clean white wedding garments. We want to be ready when Yahushua returns. We do not want to let bitterness spread, or anything else against Yahweh's word spread, through the body of Mashiach; just as the spreading leprosy was on him who was unclean, other things can defile us also (Mark 7:21-23).
