32, 33. The concluding vv. include all the cases mentioned in this chapter. Cp. the conclusion to ch. 11.
The gradations in the methods of cleansing should be noted: (a) the uncleanness lasted till the end of the day, and ceased without any further ceremonial, ‘he shall be unclean until the even’; (b) washing the clothes and bathing in running water is added (Lev_15:13); (c) sacrifices must also be offered, for the leper, a woman in childbirth (ch. 12) and two cases in ch. 15 (Lev_15:15; Lev_15:30).
