SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:45

Y el leproso en quien hubiere tal llaga, sus vestidos serán deshechos y su cabeza descubierta, y embozado pregonará: ¡Inmundo! ¡Inmundo!

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:45

Verse 45. His
clothes shall be rent, &c.] The leprous person is required to be as one that mourned for the dead, or for some great and public calamity. He was to have his clothes rent in token of extreme sorrow; his head was to be made bare, the ordinary bonnet or turban being omitted; and he was to have a covering upon his upper lip, his jaws being tied up With a linen cloth, after the same manner in which the Jews bind up the dead, which custom is still observed among the Jews in Barbary on funeral occasions: a custom which, from Ezek. xxiv. 17, we learn had prevailed very anciently among the Jews in Palestine. He was also to cry, Unclean, unclean, in order to prevent any person from coming near him, lest the contagion might be thus communicated and diffused through society; and hence the Targumist render it, Be not ye made unclean! Be not ye made unclean! A caution to others not to come near him.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 45. And the
leper in whom the plague [is] , etc.] Meaning not he only that has the plague of leprosy in his head, but every sort of leper before mentioned in this chapter: his clothes shall be rent ; not that he might the more easily put on his clothes without hurting him, as some have thought; or that the corrupt humours might evaporate more freely, for evaporation would rather be hindered than promoted by being exposed to cold; nor that he might be known and better avoided, for his cry after mentioned was sufficient for that; but as a token of mourning: and so Aben Ezra having mentioned the former reason, that he might be known by going in a different habit, adds, or the sense is, as a token of mourning; for he was to mourn for the wickedness of his actions; for, for his works came this plague of leprosy upon him; and so the Jews in common understand it, not as a disease arising from natural causes, but as a punishment inflicted by God for sin; wherefore this rite of rending the garments was an emblem of contrition of heart, and of sorrow and humiliation for sin, (see Joel 1:13): and his head bare ; or “free” from cutting or shaving, but shall let his hair grow; and so the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi interpret it; or free from any covering upon it, hat, or cap, or turban: Ben Gersom observes, that the making bare the head, or freeing it, is taken different ways; sometimes it is used of not shaving the head for thirty days, and sometimes for the removal of the vail, or covering of the head it has been used to; but in this place it cannot signify the nourishing of the hair, but that his head ought to be covered: and so Maimonides observes, that a leper should cover his head all the days he is excluded, and this was a token of mourning also; (see 2 Samuel 15:30 19:4 Esther 6:12 Jeremiah 14:3,4): and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip ; as a mourner, (see Ezekiel 24:17 Micah 3:7). Jarchi interprets it of both lips, upper and under, which were covered with a linen cloth or vail thrown over the shoulder, and with which the mouth was covered; and this was done, as Aben Ezra says, that the leper might not hurt any with the breath of his mouth; and shall cry, Unclean, unclean ; as he passed along in any public place, that everyone might avoid him, and not be polluted by him: the Targum of Jonathan is, “a herald shall proclaim and say, Depart, depart from the unclean.”

So every sinner sensible of the leprosy of sin in his nature, and which appears in his actions, should freely confess and acknowledge his uncleanness, original and actual, the impurity of his heart and life, and even of his own righteousness in the sight of God, and have recourse to Christ, and to his blood, for the cleansing him from it.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 45, 46 - When the priest had pronounced the leper unclean, it put a stop to his business in the world, cut him off from his friends and relations, an ruined all the comfort he could have in the world. He must humbl himself under the mighty hand of God, not insisting upon his cleanness when the priest had pronounced him unclean, but accepting the punishment. Thus must we take to ourselves the shame that belongs to us, and with broken hearts call ourselves "Unclean, unclean;" hear unclean, life unclean; unclean by original corruption, unclean by actual transgression; unclean, therefore deserving to be for ever shu out from communion with God, and all hope of happiness in him; unclean therefore undone, if infinite mercy do not interpose. The leper mus warn others to take heed of coming near him. He must then be shut ou of the camp, and afterward, when they came to Canaan, be shut out of the city, town, or village where he lived, and dwell with none but those that were lepers like himself. This typified the purity whic ought to be in the gospel church.
