Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 15:1-18

Such are the natural consequences of our fallen state, that everything connected with it is unclean. The very desires of nature are corrupt, and the multiplying of our species is in sin. Psalms 51:5 . If we spiritualize this scripture and consider it as emblematical of the state of the soul; the running issues of evil from thence are innumerable. See those scriptures. Isaiah 1:4-6 ; Hosea 4:1-2 ; Matthew 15:19-20 . But what a precious relief to the soul, that is conscious of this, is that... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 15:1-18

In the Case of Men v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, v. 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, either a catarrhal affection of the urethra or a latent flowing of semen with a continuous discharge, b ecause of his issue he is unclean, Levitically impure. v. 3. And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, that is, whether... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 15:1-33

Chapter fifteen is a strange and solemn one in many ways, dealing as it does with the law of uncleanness as it applies to the question of issues. As in the case of the laws concerning childbirth, here the mind is once more brought face to face with dread and forceful solemnity to the fact of the defilement of the race. A careful perusal of these requirements reminds us that the procreative faculties are all underneath the curse as the result of race pollution. Whether the exercise of such... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:2-15

The Uncleanness Resulting From Exceptional Emissions From The Male Sexual Organ (Leviticus 15:2-15 ). Leviticus 15:2-3 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, “When any man has an issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue, whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.” The ancients had their own way of disguising sexual language. Bald openness in such matters was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:1-15

Leviticus 15:1-Ezra : . Discharges from Males.— These are evidently regarded as abnormal. The greatest care is taken to mark the contagion arising from them. Keener precautions could not be taken with what is the most loathsome disease of our modern civilisation. The bed, the seat, anyone who has touched the bed or the seat or the afflicted person himself, or has been touched by his saliva, is infected. In each case of infection, washing and seclusion for the rest of the day is prescribed;... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:1-33

Leviticus 15. Issues.— Four kinds are considered; the first of these ( Leviticus 15:1-Ezra :) is apparently pathological, though there is no reference to venereal diseases, which are unknown in the OT; the second ( Leviticus 15:16-Job :) normal; the third ( Leviticus 15:19-Jeremiah :), normal and periodic; the fourth (2 Leviticus 15:5-Amos :), an abnormal occurrence or prolongation of the normal. Whether normal or not, all these occurrences are regarded as causing “ taboos” in ethnic... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Leviticus 15:1-33

Secret Physical ImpuritiesSUGGESTIVE READINGSSecret impurities, whether of men or women, are carefully discriminated here as resulting from guilty sexual intercourse, and as the effect of natural infirmity. God has stern thoughts for the licentious, He brands him as polluted and polluting, and interdicts from all privileges those who have become basely defiled.Yet even where no moral vileness attaches to the uncleanness, where the impurity is the consequence of physical weakness and natural... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:1-33

Chapter 15Now as we get into the fifteenth chapter God deals with sort of a boil kind of a thing or any breaking out on your body, any kind of a running sore that a person might have. That he is unclean and the whole thing has now to do with hygienic principles. How that anything that he wears that touches it is unclean. And the various washing processes that they need to go through until this running sore, sort of a staff infection, is healed completely. It is interesting that these laws of... read more
