SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:32
Esta es la ley del que hubiere tenido plaga de lepra, cuya mano no alcanzare lo prescrito para purificarse.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 32. This [is] the law [of him] in whom [is] the plague of leprosy , etc.] The former part of the chapter contains an account of the laws, rites, and ceremonies of a leper who was able to bear the expenses them: this latter part respects such laws, rites, and ceremonies, that belonged to him: whose hand is not able to get [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing ; as the three lambs and three tenth deals of fine flour, and therefore one lamb, and one tenth deal of fine flour, and two turtles or two young pigeons, were admitted of in the room of them, in consideration of his poverty. The Jewish canons respecting the cases of a poor and rich leper are these f504 : if a poor leper offers the sacrifice of a rich man, it is very well; but if a rich leper offers the sacrifice of a poor one, it is not sufficient; if a poor leper offers his sacrifice and he becomes rich, or if when rich, and he afterwards becomes poor, all goes after the sin offering; that is, as they explain it, if a man when he offers his sin offering is poor, and so his offering is of a turtle or pigeon, though he should become rich he must finish the offering of the poor, by bringing for a burnt offering one of the fowls; and so if he was rich, and offered the sin offering out of the lambs, though he should become poor, he must offer the burnt offering of the same; but the trespass offering is generally pitched upon as the rule in which the poor and the rich were equal: and Maimonides says, all goes after the trespass offering; as if at the time of slaying the trespass offering he is rich, he must finish the offering of a rich man, but if poor he must finish the offering of a poor man: it may be observed that a great deal of notice is taken of a leper, and strict inquiry made into the nature of leprosy, and the various signs of it given; and a great deal to do about the cleansing and expiation of him; all which shows what notice God takes of leprous sinners, and what a diligent scrutiny should be made into the evil nature of sin, and what a provision God has made for the cleansing and atonement of sinners by the blood and sacrifice of his Son; which is here typified by all sorts of offerings, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the burnt offering, and the meat offering.
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.
