Jesus' treatment of a leper compared to YHWH
YHWH’s Law (Leviticus 13:45–46; Numbers 5:1–4)
- Contact: Strict isolation; no touching (would defile)
- Response: Public shaming (“Unclean!”) and expulsion
- Outcome: Permanent separation from community and YHWH's presence in the camp
Jesus in Luke 5:12–13
- Contact: Jesus reached out and touched the man
- Response: Compassion and immediate healing
- Outcome: Instant cleansing and restoration
