Summary

In Leviticus 14:15, the priest is instructed to take some of the cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop, along with the live bird and the fresh water, to perform a cleansing ritual for the person healed from a skin disease. This ritual symbolizes the restoration and purification of the individual, signifying a new beginning and a return to the community after being isolated due to the disease. The use of specific elements like cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop carries symbolic significance, representing cleansing, purification, and atonement in the context of the Old Testament rituals. This verse highlights the importance of ceremonial cleanliness and the process of reconciliation with God and the community after being declared clean from impurity.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And the priest shall take some of the log of oil,.... With his right hand, as the Targum of Jonathan adds: and pour it into the palm of his own left hand: but in the original text it is, "pour it into the palm of the priest's left hand": and it is a question, whether he or another priest is meant; according to Aben Ezra, the oil was to be poured into the hand of the priest that was cleansing the leper, and which, he thinks, is plain from what follows; but Gersom thinks it is better to understand it of another priest, since it is not said into his own hand, but into the hand of the priest; and the Misnah (u) is clear for it, he (the priest) takes of the log of oil and pours it into the palm of his fellow (priest), but if he pours it into his own palm it is sufficient. (u) Ib. sect. 10. so Maimon. Mechosre Capharah, ut supra, (c. 4. sect. 2.) & Bartenora, in Misn. Negaim, ib.
