Leviticus 14 · Grade 4
Restored to the Community
Read and Think
Leviticus 13 told how a person with skin disease was separated. Leviticus 14 shows the joyful way back. When the disease was healed, the priest went outside the camp to the person. God did not wait for the healed person to find his own way back.
The priest took two clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop. One bird was offered over running water, and the living bird was dipped and released into the open field. The person washed, shaved, and bathed, and then came into the camp.
On the eighth day he brought offerings, and the priest made atonement for him. The poor could bring less, so no one was shut out. When Jesus healed lepers, He told them to show themselves to the priest. He wanted them fully restored to their families and worship.
