SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:18
y lo que quedare del aceite que tiene en su mano, pondrá sobre la cabeza del que se purifica; y así lo reconciliará el sacerdote delante del SEÑOR.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And the remnant of the oil that [is] in the priests hand , etc.] Either in the hand of the priest that makes the leper clean, or in the hand of a fellow priest; what was left of that after some of it had been sprinkled seven times before the Lord, and after other of it had been put upon the several parts of the leper, as directed in ( Leviticus 14:17): he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed ; for the plague of leprosy was sometimes in the head, ( Leviticus 13:44); and this may denote either the blessings of grace on the head of the righteous, or that a man’s head should be sanctified; he should have pure principles as well as pure practices; and that his head knowledge should be sanctified knowledge; some have only the form of godliness, but deny the power of it: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord ; by putting the oil on the several parts, particularly on the head, which was done, as is said in the Misnah f502 , to make atonement; if he puts it, atonement is made, but if he does not put it, there is no atonement made; but one would think rather the atonement refers to all the priest did, both in offering the trespass offering, and in putting both the blood of that and the oil on the several parts that are mentioned: this atonement was made for the sin or sins which were the cause or the man’s leprosy: what was done with the rest of the log of oil is not said; it was the portion of the priests, and was for their use: Maimonides says f503 , the rest of the log of oil is not eaten but in the court by the males of the priests, as other the most holy things; and that it is unlawful to eat thereof until the priest had sprinkled of it seven times, and put it on the above parts; and if one eats he is to be beaten.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-32 - 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 ou 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 ou 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. Wherever the blood of Christ is applied for justification the oil of the Spirit is applied for sanctification; these two cannot be separated. We have here the gracious provision the law made for poor lepers. The poor are as welcome to God's altar as the rich. But thoug a meaner sacrifice was accepted from the poor, yet the same ceremon was used for the rich; their souls are as precious, and Christ and his gospel are the same to both. Even for the poor one lamb was necessary No sinner could be saved, had it not been for the Lamb that was slain and hath redeemed us to God with his blood.
