What role does the priest play in the law of the leper?

Answered in 1 source

The priest acts as the mediator, executing the law to declare lepers clean and symbolize Christ's work.

In Leviticus 14, the priest plays a vital role as the one who inspects, declares, and facilitates the cleansing of a leper. The priest must come to the leper, which represents Christ coming to humanity in need, emphasizing our inability to reach God on our own. The actions taken by the priest not only fulfill the law but also prefigure the work of Christ, who fulfills the requirements of the law through His sacrificial death. By pronouncing the leper clean, the priest symbolizes how Christ represents our righteousness through His work on our behalf, allowing us to be accepted before God.
