What happensPermalink
Laws for cleansing a person who has recovered from a skin disease, as well as similar laws for mold and other issues in houses. The process involves cedar, scarlet yarn, hyssop, and sacrifice for a sin offering, a burnt offering, and a grain offering.
Why it mattersPermalink
As with other sacrifices, options for sacrifice are given for levels of wealth. All are welcome back into the congregation so long as they are forgiven. In Leviticus, forgiveness comes through ritual sacrifice; today, through Jesus.
Key versePermalink
…one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, along with a grain offering. And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for him who is being cleansed.
