Leviticus 13:45 Summary

This verse, Leviticus 13:45, tells us that someone with a skin disease had to wear torn clothes, let their hair hang loose, cover their mouth, and cry out, 'Unclean, unclean!' to warn others and show they were sorry for their sin. This was a sign of their spiritual uncleanness, and it reminds us that we all need to acknowledge our sin and seek purification before God, as seen in 1 John 1:9 and Psalm 51:7. Just like the diseased person had to separate themselves from others, we may need to separate ourselves from things that are not pleasing to God, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18. By doing so, we can seek spiritual healing and restoration, as promised in Jeremiah 3:22-23 and Matthew 11:28.

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 13:45

And the leper in whom the plague [is],.... Meaning not he only that has the plague of leprosy in his head, but every sort of leper before mentioned in this chapter: his clothes shall be rent; not

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 13:45

And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 13:45

His clothes shall be rent, to wit, in the upper and former parts, which were most visible. This was done, partly, as a token of sorrow, ,5 Job 2:12, because though this was not a sin, yet it was an effect of sin, and a sore punishment, whereby he was cut off both from converse with men, and from the enjoyment of God in his ordinances; partly, as a warning to others to keep at a due distance from him wheresoever he came; and partly, as some add, that it might conduce to his cure, by giving the freer vent to the ill humours. But the exposing of the affected part to the cold would rather hinder than further evaporation. His head bare; another sign of mourning, as appears from . God would have men, though not overwhelmed with, yet deeply sensible of, his judgments. A covering upon his upper lip; partly as another badge of his sorrow and shame, as ,22 Mic 3:7; and partly for the preservation of others from his infectious breath or touch. Unclean, unclean; as begging the pity and prayers of others, and confessing his own infirmity, and cautioning those who came near him to keep at a distance from him.

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 13:45

Leviticus 13:45 And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.Ver. 45. His clothes shall be rent.] To show his sorrow for sin, the cause of his calamity. And his head bare.] That men might not mistake him; and further to show his humility, whereof this also was a ceremony. A covering upon his upper lip.] His moustaches that by his breath he might not infect others: and to show that God will not hear a good motion from an ill mouth. Unclean, unclean.] Say we the same in our humblest acknowledgments; but withal add that of the leper in the Gospel, yet "Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 13:45

(45) His clothes shall be rent.—As leprosy was regarded as a visitation from God for sin committed by the person thus afflicted, the patient is to rend his garments like one mourning for the dead. (See Leviticus 21:10.) During the second Temple the administrators of the law exempted leprous women from rending their clothes, which was evidently owing to a feeling of decorum. And his head bare.—Better, and his hair be dishevelled. This was another sign of mourning. (See Leviticus 10:6.) The legislators during the second Temple also exempted leprous women from letting their hair fall in the disorderly and wild manner over their heads and faces which was the custom for mourners to do. And he shall put a covering upon his upper lip.—To veil the beard, which was the pride of the Oriental, was also a sign of mourning. (Comp. Ezekiel 24:17; Ezekiel 24:22; Micah 3:7.) This was generally done by throwing the skirt of the garment over the lower part of the chin. And shall cry, Unclean.—As leprosy was most defiling, and as the very entrance of a leper into a house rendered everything in it unclean, the person thus afflicted had to warn off the passers by, lest they should approach him, and by contact with him become defiled. In some instances this was done by a herald, who preceded the leper. Hence the rendering of the ancient Chaldee paraphrase of Jonathan by “a herald shall proclaim, and say, Depart, depart from the unclean !”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Leviticus 13:45

Verse 45. His clothes shall be rent, c.] The leprous person is required to be as one that mourned for the dead, or for some great and public calamity. He was to have his clothes rent in token of extreme sorrow his head was to be made bare, the ordinary bonnet or turban being omitted; and he was to have a covering upon his upper lip, his jaws being tied up With a linen cloth, after the same manner in which the Jews bind up the dead, which custom is still observed among the Jews in Barbary on funeral occasions: a custom which, from Ezekiel 24:17, we learn had prevailed very anciently among the Jews in Palestine. He was also to cry, Unclean, unclean, in order to prevent any person from coming near him, lest the contagion might be thus communicated and diffused through society; and hence the Targumist render it, Be not ye made unclean! Be not ye made unclean! A caution to others not to come near him.

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 13:45

Rules for treatment of leprous persons (45, 46)

Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 13:45

Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 13:45

45. His clothes shall be rent — This is the first visible sign which the leper was required to hang out as a warning to all not to approach too near to him. The outer garment was usually rent from the neck to the girdle.
