FOURTH SECTIONSexual Impurities and CleansingsLeviticus 15:1-331And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue,1 it is his uncleanness. 4Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon... 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 15:16-18

The Uncleanness of A Man’s Natural Emission (Leviticus 15:16-18 ). Leviticus 15:16-17 “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 evening. And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.” More remarkably a man’s natural emissions are seen as rendering the man unclean. For they too are seen as producing imperfect life, life which... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 15:16-18

Leviticus 15:16-Job : . Emissions, Voluntary or Otherwise.— Here only washing is needed. The existence of the first part of the law may well help to allay the horror with which the phenomenon is often needlessly regarded. In the second part, there is no suggestion of sin, as in the writings of Augustine and other fathers, or in the medieval deductions from Genesis 3. Cf., however, Exodus 19:15, 1 Samuel 21:5, 2 Samuel 11:11, 1 Corinthians 7:5, Revelation 14:4; in the OT passages the ritual... read more

Man, or, the man, to wit, that had such an issue, which is plainly to be understood out, of the whole context. For though in some special cases, relating to the worship of God, men were to forbear the use of the marriage-bed, as Exodus 19:15; 1 Samuel 21:4; yet to affirm that the use of it in other cases did generally defile the persons, and make them unclean till even, is contrary to the whole current of Scripture, which affirms the marriage-bed to be undefiled, Hebrews 13:4, to the practice... read more

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

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

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
