The leper was excluded not only from the sanctuary but from the camp. The ceremony of restoration which he had to undergo was therefore twofold. The first part, performed outside the camp, entitled him to come within and to mix with his brethren, Lev 14:3-9. The second part, performed in the court of the tabernacle and separated from the first by an interval of seven days, restored him to all the privileges of the covenant with Yahweh, Lev. 14:10-32.
This site's exposition
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying
on Leviticus 14:1-3
Chapter 13 ordered no treatment and ended by putting the man outside the camp, and this chapter opens with the plague already healed. The priest goes forth out of the camp to look at him, because a man shut out cannot come in to be examined. Verse 2 calls this the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing, and Luke 17:14 sends ten healed men to it when Jesus tells them to go shew themselves unto the priests.
