Context of Leviticus 13:46

44he is a diseased man. He is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his infection on his head. 45“As for the diseased person who has the infection, his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache, and he must call out ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ The whole time he has the infection he will be continually unclean. He must live in isolation, and his place of residence must be outside the camp. 47“When a garment has a diseased infection in it, whether a wool or linen garment, 48or in the warp or woof of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather,

Commentaries on Leviticus 13:46

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 46Dwell alone - More properly, dwell apart; that is, separated from the people. Though thus excluded from general contact with society, it is not likely that lepers ceased to be objects of sympathy and kindness, such as they now are in those Christian and Moslem countries in which the leprosy prevails. That they associated together in the holy land, as they do at present, is evident from 2 Kings 7:3; Luke 17:12. It has been conjectured that a habitation was…Read the comment
