The laws concerning how to treat those who were healed of leprosy. There were specific guidelines including the healed shaving their bodies and getting rid of all clothing or personal items that may have had the virus attached. Also, the priest would examine them days later and anoint them in order to truly proclaim their healing. Finally, there would be offerings to the Lord to commemorate the healing.
This is a wonderful parallel of what happens, or at least should happen, when a soul is saved. When someone truly is healed of sin and soul sickness, there should be a recognition of that salvation, and an admonition to the newly saved soul to separate himself from all sin and things that could re-infect his soul with sin. Also, the church must follow up with new converts and make sure that they are well and continuing in their health. Finally, the new convert must be encouraged to celebrate, testify, and offer themselves to God for service as opportunities arise. What a beautiful picture of redemption!
