レビ記 15:33 JCB

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 15:25-33

The fourth case involves a woman who had continuing menstrual problems beyond her normal period. The ritual for purification was the same as for a man with an extended sexual malady (case one above, Leviticus 15:13-15; cf. Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43).Leviticus 15:31 explains the reason for these regulations. God gave them so the Israelites would not fall into serious sin because of ignorance of how they should behave when unclean. The rules about bodily discharges helped the Israelites appreciate the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:1-33

Uncleanness connected with Sexual DischargesThe subject of this chapter is related to that of Leviticus 12 : see intro. there. Here three natural (Leviticus 15:16-17, Leviticus 15:18, Leviticus 15:19-24) and two abnormal (Leviticus 15:1-15, Leviticus 15:25-30) conditions are dealt with. Though not in themselves sinful, they render the person ceremonially unclean, and the enactments with respect to them would tend to purity of morals, being a reminder that all uncleanness is hateful to God, and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 15:32-33

(32, 33) This is the law.—These two verses give a summary of the contents of the chapter. In the recapitulation, however, as we have already seen, the order of the enactments is not strictly adhered to. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:1-33

OF THE UNCLEANNESS OF ISSUESLeviticus 15:1-33INASMUCH as the law concerning defilement from issues is presupposed and referred to in that concerning the defilement of child bearing, in chapter 12, it will be well to consider this before the latter. For this order there is the more reason, because, as will appear, although the two sections are separated, in the present arrangement of the book, by the law concerning defilement by leprosy (Leviticus 13:1-59; Leviticus 14:1-57), they both refer to... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Leviticus 15:1-33

5. Concerning Issues: Man’s Weakness and Defilement CHAPTER 15 1. The uncleanness of a man (Leviticus 15:1-18 ) 2. The uncleanness of a woman (Leviticus 15:19-33 ) The whole chapter shows the deplorable physical condition into which man has been plunged by sin. The issues mentioned were therefore an evidence of the presence of sin in man’s nature with the curse upon it, and constitutes man and woman unclean in the sight of God. “Not only actions, from which we can abstain, but operations... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:1-33

UNAVOIDABLE DISCHARGES (vv. 1-33) Because leprosy speaks of the outbreak of positive sin, it required rigorous treatment. Nothing like this is intimated in chapter 15, but rather the frailty of the human body in suffering the effects of the contamination of sin through Adam, our first father. We are not in any way responsible for the sinful nature we have inherited by birth, though we are responsible for allowing that nature to manifest itself in sinful actions. The discharges spoken of here... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 15:30-33

The reason given for all this, in not defiling the tabernacle, is now much stronger with believers; for now the tabernacle of GOD is with them, and he doth dwell with them. Their bodies are his temple. 1 Corinthians 6:19 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 15:33

REFLECTIONS MY soul! while thou findest continual cause to bless GOD, that thou art not under the yoke of carnal ordinances; seek grace also, to be cleansed from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, and to perfect holiness in the fear of GOD. And oh! thou holy Saviour, since thou hast taught me by the sweet teachings of thy blessed SPIRIT, that none can bring a clean thing out of an unclean; let a deep sense of sin, and even of those involuntary issues of evil, which flow from me I know not how,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 15:19-33

In the Case of Women v. 19. And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, the regular menstrual flow, she shall be put apart seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even; every form of contact, even if it was ever so slight, rendered unclean for the day. v. 20. And everything that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean; everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean; beds and chairs and every other article of furniture upon... read more
