Leviticus 13 · Grade 3
Clean or Unclean
Read the Story
Leviticus 13 tells how the priest checked skin problems. If someone had a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, he was brought to Aaron or one of the priests. The priest looked closely at the skin and the hair.
If the priest was not sure, he isolated the person for seven days and then looked again. Some spots faded, and the priest said the person was clean. Others spread, and the priest said it was leprosy, a serious skin disease.
A person with the disease wore torn clothes and lived outside the camp. The priests also checked clothing that had mildew. In the Gospels, a man with leprosy knelt before Jesus. Jesus touched him, and he was healed. Jesus cares for people others keep away from.
Memory Verse
“All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.”
Leviticus 13:46 (WEB)
