Just before he breathed his last breath, Jesus uttered the phrase “it is finished.”Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips.

Leprosy
The King James translators saw the Hebrew "tzaraath" and translated it "leprosy." Compared to our modern definition of leprosy, many of the Biblical symptoms mentioned actually encompassed a variety of diseases The ancients simply did not know what they were dealing with. Only God knew the potential risks to the general population, so these rituals of quarantine and purification were enormously important. Sin was always suspected as the first cause of disease, so religious rites were applied first.
Leviticus 13:9 - "When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest."
The Wave Offering
When Israelites brought their offerings to the Lord, they were considered sacred tokens in the covenant between God and men. Certain offerings were "heaved" into the air as testimony of their presentation, then eaten by the priests. In other cases, the meat was "waved" before the Lord and was eaten by the worshiper. Today, we wave our hands to the Lord as tokens of surrender to Him.
Leviticus 14:24 - "And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD."
Touching The Unclean
Touch is one of the five senses. As ears hear, eyes see, noses smell, and tongues taste, the body feels. It receives input from anything it touches. It is impacted and influenced by what it touches. God repeatedly told Israel not to touch unclean (forbidden) things. Holy things become defiled and unholy by touch. Only sanctified things may touch the holy. Once defiled, one had to go through a purification process. In the New Testament, one must repent and be washed in Jesus' blood.
Leviticus 15:27 - "And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash..."
Strange Fire And Strange Incense
God killed Nadab and Abihu for offering strange fire. God ordered Aaron to bring fire from the holy altar of sacrifice, and holy incense. God curses phony sacrifices and phony prayers.
Leviticus 16:12-13 - "...he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail: And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not."
