Leviticus 14:32
This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing. This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
This is the concluding law of the ritual in Leviticus 14:1-32, also given as Leviticus 14:2-32, requiring a person healed of leprosy to go to the priest, submit to examination, and present the prescribed offering for cleansing. It specifically states the provision for a healed person whose hand or means is unable to get, afford, or provide what is usually required for cleansing. The priest is not allowed to accept the offering until he has thoroughly examined the healed person and publicly declared to the people that he is entirely free from the infectious disease and sound in health. That examination and declaration confirms that the restored person can safely return to family, friends, and community, to the congregation of Israel, and unite with them again without endangering them.
The law was honored when the healed leper was directed to show himself to the priest and offer what Moses commanded, which sanctioned the law's offering requirement. That direction to follow the law showed respect for the Jewish code. That obedience stands as irrefutable, public testimony to priests and people that the teaching was not opposed to the law of Moses but respected it, and as a standing testimony to the healing and to the divine character of the healing power.
The ceremonial ordinances to which this provision belongs were shadowy types whose significance became clear through death, when type met antitype.
