And he charged him to tell no one, but “go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”
Luke 5:14 #tazria #metzora
The leprosy left this man immediately at #yeshua's command, but that wasn't enough to satisfy the Torah's requirements for purification.
- Yeshua commanded him to be clean, not to be healed.
- Having been cleansed by Yeshua, he was then required to keep the requirements of Torah. See Acts 15.
- Yeshua was not qualified to release him from quarantine, but he does have authority to forgive sins. See v20.
In Luke 5:12-14, Yeshua commanded the leper to be clean, not to be healed. Uncleanness begins in the heart and allows tzaraat to take root. When the uncleanness was removed, the tzaraat was uprooted with it.
The leper was healed immediately at Yeshua's command, yet #yeshua still told him to keep #torah. Justification is only the beginning of the journey to sanctification, not the end. The Jerusalem Council's advice to new converts in Acts 15 was the same as Yeshua's to this leper: A clean heart is a free gift from God, but once received, it's time to start learning Moses.

This was me this morning. The bottom elephant that is. ?
And for the cleansing of the house he shall take two small birds, with cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop...
Leviticus 14:49 ESV
The two birds for cleansing a leprous house aren't described as clean, but since their purpose is to cleanse the house, that should probably be assumed, especially since it is explicitly stated so in the case of cleansing a leprous person earlier in the chapter.
Passover/Unleavened Bread, the biblical holiday that commemorates both the exodus from Egypt and Yeshua's sacrifice on the cross as the Lamb of God, is coming up next week.
Try this handy housecleaning guide to help you get all the leaven out of your home this year.?
Don't forget that the leaven represents sin, though, and make sure to get your hearts clean first.
"Let us therefore celebrate the Festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." 1 Cor. 5:8
