Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 15:19

Leviticus 15:19. She shall be put apart Not out of the camp, but from converse with her husband and others, and from access to the house of God. Seven days During the time of her infirmity, which might perhaps continue so long, and it was decent to allow time for her purification after the ceasing of her issue. Whosoever toucheth her Of grown persons; for the infant, to whom in that case she might give suck, was exempted from this pollution by the greater law of necessity, and by that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:1-33

Discharges from sexual organs (15:1-33)Strict precautions were to be taken when a man was found to have venereal disease or some other infection connected with his sexual organs, to prevent the infection spreading to others (15:1-12). After apparent healing, the man had to wait a further week to ensure he was fully healed. He then carried out cleansing rites, offering a sin offering and a burnt offering (13-15).After sexual intercourse, ceremonial uncleanness remained only till evening and was... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Leviticus 15:16

wash = bathe. Here, with eth kol added, meaning all his body, to distinguish it from the word "flesh", which is thus probably used in this section by the Figure of speech Euphemy ( App-6 ) for private parts. Compare Leviticus 15:5-8 , Leviticus 15:10 , Leviticus 15:11 , Leviticus 15:18 , Leviticus 15:21 , Leviticus 15:22 , Leviticus 15:27 , where the Authorized Version has inserted "himself', in italics. See further note on Leviticus 14:9 . read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 15:16

"And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even."The cases here may be considered one, despite the two manifestations of it, the first involuntary,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 15:19

"And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her impurity shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth anything that she sitteth upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 15:19

19. if a woman have an issue—Though this, like the leprosy, might be a natural affection, it was anciently considered contagious and entailed a ceremonial defilement which typified a moral impurity. This ceremonial defilement had to be removed by an appointed method of ceremonial expiation, and the neglect of it subjected any one to the guilt of defiling the tabernacle, and to death as the penalty of profane temerity. read more

4. Uncleanness due to bodily discharges associated with reproduction ch. 15This chapter concludes the regulations on uncleanness (chs. 11-15)."The uncleanness laws start with uncleanness that is permanent: that associated with various animals and food (ch. 11). Then they deal with the uncleanness of childbirth, which may last up to eighty days (ch. 12). Chs. 13 and 14 deal with uncleanness of indefinite duration; it all depends how long the serious skin disease persists. Finally, ch. 15 deals... read more

The second case deals with a voluntary emission of semen. Note that it was not sexual intercourse generally that produced the uncleanness but specifically the emission of semen in coitus or at other times (cf. Exodus 19:15; 1 Samuel 21:5-6; 2 Samuel 11:4)."The intent was to keep a legitimate but ’unclean’ biological function from defiling that which was [otherwise] holy." [Note: Harrison, p. 162.] One writer pointed out that this passage does not condemn masturbation, though he did not argue... read more

The third case deals with the woman’s menstrual cycle (cf. 2 Samuel 11:4)."By placing the woman in what amounted to a state of isolation, the legislation made it possible for her to enjoy some respite from her normal duties, and gave her an opportunity of renewing her energy." [Note: Harrison, p. 164.] This law appears very harsh to the modern reader. It appears to consign virtually every woman in Israel to a state of being untouchable for one week each month. Some authorities, however, believe... 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
