The anti-type as applied to the people of God is \"sin,\" demanding self-judgment (Co1 11:31) and \"sins,\" demanding confession and cleansing. (Jo1 1:9).\npriest\nSome have found in the regulations of this chapter concerning an inquest by the priest of a case of leprosy, elaborate provisions for the exercise of discipline in the local church. No little self-righteousness and cruelty have come in thereby. The explicit instructions of the New Testament are the alone and sufficient rule of discipline.","title":"The Scofield Bible Commentary: Leviticus: Leviticus Chapter 13","type":"page"}
