- Is the leper regarded as healed and/or “no longer transgressive?”
- Is any explanation provided for the procedure in Leviticus 14:4-7?
- Following 7 days after the procedure outlined, the former leper shaves, etc.—what might the purpose be?
- In Leviticus 14:10-19, the (second) procedure ends with a statement of absolution—but does the former leper admit to any transgression and/or does the Kohen specify any improper action which led to the illness?
- If the leper was impoverished, an alternate procedure is provided (Leviticus 14:21-31); is it other than the prior procedure—save for being less demanding financially?
- Leviticus 14:34, et seq, refers to an “infected house”; is the role of the Kohen parallel to the procedure with an infected individual?
- Why (in Leviticus 14:44-45) would the house be destroyed?
- Is the procedure, if the house is no longer “infected” (Leviticus 14:34-53), essentially other than that in the case of the “leper”?
- Does the phase “unclean” and “cleansed” in this chapter seem to infer improper action or a physical condition requiring diagnosis and treatment—without any value judgement as to cause?
