Leviticus 14

Scofield Reference Notes (1917 edition) (1917)

The notes that made the Scofield Bible famous. They read Scripture through dispensationalism, a framework many Christians do not share: read with discernment.

Verse 3

go forth

As a type of Gospel salvation the points are:

(1) The leper does nothing Romans 4:5,5. (2) the priest seeks the leper, not the leper the priest Luke 19:10. (3) "with-out shedding of blood is no remission" Hebrews 9:22. (4) "and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain" 1 Corinthians 15:17.

Verse 4

birds

The bird slain, and the live bird, dipped in blood and released, present the two aspects of salvation in Romans 4:25 "delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification."

Verses 5–19

The earthen vessel typifies the humanity of Christ, as the running water typifies the Holy Spirit as the "Spirit of life" Romans 8:2 "put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." 1 Peter 3:18
