Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 14:57

Commentary on Leviticus 14:54-57

(Read Leviticus 14:54-57)

When that God who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us by his grace, Ephesians 2:4,5, we shall manifest the change by repenting, and forsaking former sins. Let us follow after holiness, and let us compassionate other poor lepers, and desire, seek, and pray for their cleansing.
