50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
50 He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.
50 and shall kill one of the birds in an earthenware vessel over fresh water
50 He will slaughter one bird over fresh water in a clay pot.
50 Then he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water;
50 He will slaughter one of the birds over a clay pot filled with fresh water.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 14:50
Commentary on Leviticus 14:33-53
(Read Leviticus 14:33-53)
The leprosy in a house is unaccountable to us, as well as the leprosy in a garment; but now sin, where that reigns in a house, is a plague there, as it is in a heart. Masters of families should be aware, and afraid of the first appearance of sin in their families, and put it away, whatever it is. If the leprosy is got into the house, the infected part must be taken out. If it remain in the house, the whole must be pulled down. The owner had better be without a dwelling, than live in one that was infected. The leprosy of sin ruins families and churches. Thus sin is so interwoven with the human body, that it must be taken down by death.
