Leviticus 14 Scofield
Read Leviticus 14 · Matthew Henry on Leviticus 14
14:4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
“birds”
The bird slain, and the live bird, dipped in blood and released, present the two aspects of salvation in Rom 4:25 "delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification."
14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
“vessel”
The earthen vessel typifies the humanity of Christ, as the running water typifies the Holy Spirit as the "Spirit of life" Rom 8:2 "put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." 1 Pet 3:18
14:20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

14:3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
“go forth”
As a type of Gospel salvation the points are:
(1) The leper does nothing Rom 4:5; Rom 4:5.
(2) the priest seeks the leper, not the leper the priest Luke 19:10.
(3) "with-out shedding of blood is no remission" Heb 9:22.
(4) "and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain" 1 Cor 15:17.
