This is the law
The phrase "This is the law" signifies the divine authority and order established by God for the Israelites. In Hebrew, the word for "law" is "Torah," which means instruction or teaching. It underscores the importance of God's commandments as a guide for holy living. The law is not merely a set of rules but a covenantal relationship between God and His people, reflecting His holiness and desire for them to be set apart.

for someone who has a skin disease or a sore
The Hebrew term for "skin disease" is "tzaraath," often translated as leprosy, though it encompasses a variety of skin conditions. This phrase highlights the physical and spiritual implications of impurity in the Israelite community. Skin diseases were not only health concerns but also carried social and religious stigma, symbolizing sin and separation from God. The mention of "a sore" further emphasizes the need for purification and restoration to communal and divine fellowship.

and cannot afford the cost of their cleansing
This phrase reveals God's compassion and provision for the poor. The Hebrew context shows that the law made allowances for those who were financially unable to meet the standard requirements for purification. It reflects God's justice and mercy, ensuring that all, regardless of economic status, have access to His grace and the opportunity for restoration. This provision foreshadows the New Testament teaching of grace, where salvation and cleansing from sin are offered freely through Christ, irrespective of one's ability to pay.

(32) This is the law of him . . . whose hand is not able to get.--That is, that which is laid down in Leviticus 14:21-31 constitutes the law for the restored leper who is too poor to offer the sacrifices prescribed in Leviticus 14:10-20.
