Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 15:1-33

Leviticus 15:2. Running issue. The holy scriptures speak modestly of obscene things. It is a kind of gonorrhea, occasioned by whoredom, or by lascivious habits. How strikingly is the providence of God displayed in deterring the wicked from profligacy, by this most dreadful disease of rottenness in the bones: and if he so afflict the body, what punishment is that which awaits the soul. Leviticus 15:16-18 . This accident happening to a man in a dream, whether sleeping alone or with his... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Leviticus 15:2-33

Leviticus 15:2-33Because of his issue he is unclean. Human nature unclean1. We learn, in a very striking manner, the intense holiness of the Divine presence. Not a soil, not a stain, not a speck can be tolerated for a moment in that thrice-hallowed region.2. Again, we learn that human nature is the ever-flowing fountain of uncleanness. It is hopelessly defiled and defiling.3. Finally, we learn, afresh, the expiatory value of the blood of Christ, and the cleansing, sanctifying virtues of the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Leviticus 15:4

Lev 15:4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. Ver. 4. Every bed. ] Sin is more catching than any plague, and more defiling than any out house; Mar 7:23 Paul found it as noisome to his soul as a dead body to his sense, Rom 7:24 or as the sanies; a of a plague sore to a rich robe. Job abhors himself for it in dust and ashes. Job 40:4 And Isaiah looks upon himself as an undone man by reason of it. Isa 6:5 a A thin... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:4

4. Every bed The inconveniences of ceremonial impurity are strikingly set forth in this and the following verses. The only posture in which the man did not communicate ceremonial impurity was standing without touching any vessel or utensil. The obstruction to social intercourse, business, and trade must have exceeded one’s conception. The man, while under this disability, could neither sit nor lie down without spreading impurity; nor could he eat or drink without defiling the vessel which... read more
