Leviticus 15:17

_AND THE PRIEST SHALL OFFER THEM, THE ONE FOR A SIN OFFERING, AND THE OTHER FOR A BURNT OFFERING; AND THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM BEFORE THE LORD FOR HIS ISSUE._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

Most of the ancient religions made a similar recognition of impurity and of the need of purfication. Leviticus 15:17 EVERY GARMENT - Compare Jude 1:23....

EXPOSITION RUNNING ISSUES FROM THE HUMAN BODY. These are the fourth cause of ceremonial uncleanness. We are not to look for a moral basis for the regulation on account of any vicious habit connected with such issues. They are foul and repulsive, and simply for that reason they are causes of ceremonial uncleanness to those who suffer from them, and to those who crone in contact with persons suffering from them. LEVITICUS 15:2 The first case of an issue. It appears to be identical with the disease called by physicians gonorrhea, or, perhaps, blenorrhea (cf. Leviticus 22:4; Numbers 5:

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....

5. CONCERNING ISSUES: MAN'S WEAKNESS AND DEFILEMENT CHAPTER 15 _ 1. The uncleanness of a man (Leviticus 15:1)_ 2. The uncleanness of a woman (Leviticus 15:19) The whole chapter shows the deplorable physical condition into which man has been plunged by sin. The issues mentioned were therefore an evidence of the presence of sin in man's nature with the curse upon it, and constitutes man and woman unclean in the sight of God. “Not only actions, from which we can abstain, but operations of nature which we cannot help, alike defile; defile in such a manner and degree as to require, even as voluntary acts of sin, the cleansing of water and the expiatory blood of a sin offering. One could not avoid many of the defilements mentioned in this chapter, but that made no differ

LEVITICUS 15. ISSUES. Four kinds are considered; the first of these (Leviticus 15:1) is apparently pathological, though there is no reference to venereal diseases, which are unknown in the OT; the second (Leviticus 15:16) normal; the third (Leviticus 15:19), normal and periodic; the fourth (2 Leviticus 15:5), an abnormal occurrence or prolongation of the normal. Whether normal or not, all these occurrences are regarded as causing taboos in ethnic religions, and as connected with supernatural powers; the third kind is constantly associated with the bite of a demon (as, for example, in Australia). Possibly a simila

INVOLUNTARY EMISSION OF SEED 15:16-18 TEXT 15:16-18 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. 17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18 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. THOUGHT QUESTIONS 15:16-18 321. What caused this loss of seed? 322. In what sense unclean? How to be cleansed? 323. What else could be made unclean? How cleansed? 324. Are we to understand from this text that the sex-act is here condemned? Discuss. PARAPHRASE 15:16-18 Whenever a man's semen goes out from him, he shall take a complete bath and be unclean until the evening. Any clothing or bedding the semen spil

UNCLEANNESS CONNECTED WITH SEXUAL DISCHARGES The subject of this chapter is related to that of Leviticus 12 : see intro. there. Here three natural (Leviticus 15:16; Leviticus 15:18; Leviticus 15:19) and two abnormal (Leviticus 15:1; Leviticus 15:25) 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 that He is to be glorified in ou

AND EVERY SKIN. — That is, everything which a man wears or lies upon made of skin, in contradistinction to the ordinary garments made of stuffs (see Leviticus 13:48) with which it is associated. Any one of these thus defiled was cleansed by washing. It is from this circumstance that the apostle borrows the expression “hating even the garments spotted by the flesh” (Jude 1:23)....
