レビ記 15:16-22 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 15:1-18

We have here the law concerning the ceremonial uncleanness that was contracted by running issues in men. It is called in the margin (Lev. 15:2) the running of the reins: a very grievous and loathsome disease, which was, usually the effect and consequent of wantonness and uncleanness, and a dissolute course of life, filling men's bones with the sins of their youth, and leaving them to mourn at the last, when all the pleasures of their wickedness have vanished, and nothing remains but the pain... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 15:19-33

This is concerning the ceremonial uncleanness which women lay under from their issues, both those that were regular and healthful, and according to the course of nature (Lev. 15:19-24), and those that were unseasonable, excessive, and the disease of the body; such was the bloody issue of that poor woman who was suddenly cured by touching the hem of Christ's garment, after she had lain twelve years under her distemper, and had spent her estate upon physicians and physic in vain. This made the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:16

And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him ,.... Not in lawful cohabitation, nor voluntarily, but involuntarily, as Aben Ezra observes; not through any disorder, which came by an accident, or in any criminal way, but through a dream, or any lustful imagination; what is commonly called nocturnal pollution F3 "----& noctem flumine purgas." Pers. Satyr. 2. : then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even ; and so the Egyptian priests, when it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:17

And every garment, and every skin ,.... Or that is made of skin, which a man wears, or lies upon, see Leviticus 13:48 , whereon is the seed of copulation ; or on any other, for, as Gersom says, there is the same law concerning the rest of vessels, seeing this is a principal uncleanness, and defiles vessels; and perhaps the law makes mention of these, because it is more apt to be found on them: shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even ; see Judges 1:23 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:18

The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation ,.... It seems to respect any congress of a man and woman, whether in fornication or adultery, or lawful marriage, and particularly the latter; for though marriage is honourable and holy, and carnal copulation in itself lawful, yet such is the sinfulness of nature, that as no act is performed without pollution, so neither that of generation, and by which the corruption of nature is propagated, and therefore required a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:19

And if a woman have an issue ,.... Having finished, as Aben Ezra observes, what was to be said of the male, now the Scripture begins with the female, whose issue, of a different sort, is thus described: and her issue in her flesh be blood ; or, "blood be her issue in her flesh"; not in any part of her, but in that which by an euphemism is so called, in the same sense as the phrase is used of men, Leviticus 15:2 ; and so it distinguishes it from any flow of blood elsewhere, as a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:20

And everything that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean ,.... During her being apart from her husband, with whom she might be, and do all offices for him, but not lie with him; and whatsoever she lay upon during this time, bed or couch, and the clothes upon them, were unclean: everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean ; chair, stool, &c.; as is the case of a man, Leviticus 15:4 . read more

And whosoever toucheth her bed ,.... The same thing that is said of a profluvious man, and so in Leviticus 15:22 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 15:22

And whosoever toucheth anything that she sat upon ,.... Which was appropriated to her to sit upon, as the Targum of Jonathan, which was her proper and peculiar seat, what she usually sat upon; such were obliged to wash their clothes and bathe, as in all the above cases. See Leviticus 15:5 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:18

They shall both bathe themselves - What a wonderful tendency had these ordinances to prevent all excesses! The pains which such persons must take, the separations which they must observe, and the privations which, in consequence, they must be exposed to in the way of commerce, traffic, etc., would prevent them from making an unlawful use of lawful things. read more
