Matthew
Henry's Commentary.
| "The plague of leprosy
was an uncleanness, rather than a disease. Christ is said to cleanse
lepers, not to cure them." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
| "He shall dwell
alone - Partly for his humiliation; partly to prevent the infection
of others; and partly to shew the danger of converse with spiritual
lepers, or notorious sinners." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the
Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "...leprosy was not a
family complaint, hereditary among the Hebrews, but that they got it
from intercourse with the Egyptians and from the unfavorable
circumstances of their condition in the house of bondage." |

"The 'Tahmay' Question: When the Sacred Candle Casts a Narrow Light,"
Phyllis O. Berman, The Shalom Center.
| "For many years I felt horrified,
offended, every single time we came across the words tah'hor and tahmay.
In too many English translations those words have been translated as
"pure" and "impure," or "clean" and "unclean," signifying that one is all
good and one is all bad." |

| "Clean/Unclean,
Pure/Polluted and Holy/Profane," Jerome H. Neyrey, in The Social Sciences and
New Testament Interpretation, 80-104. R. L. Rohrbaugh, ed. Peabody, Mass.:
Hendrickson, 1996.
| "The specific use of the two anthropological models
of (a) "clean" and "unclean" and (2) body symbolism can equip a reader
to understand a wide but interconnected series of issues, such as dietary concerns (Acts
10-11), mission to "unclean" people (Mark 5; Acts 8), sexual morals (1 Thess
4:1-9), and hand washings (Mark 7). A reader
knowing this material has a firm basis for sympathetically understanding the conflicts
between Jesus and Pharisees which run through the gospel stories." |
