Leviticus 15:26

_AND IF A WOMAN HAVE AN ISSUE, AND HER ISSUE IN HER FLESH BE BLOOD, SHE SHALL BE PUT APART SEVEN DAYS: AND WHOSOEVER TOUCHETH HER SHALL BE UNCLEAN UNTIL THE EVEN._ If a woman have an issue. Though this, like the leprosy, might be a natural affection, it was anciently considered contagious, and entailed a ceremonial defilement which typified a moral impurity. This ceremonial defilement had to be removed by an appointed method of ceremonial expiation, and the neglect of it subjected any one to the guilt of defiling the tabernacle, and to death as the penalty of profane temerity....

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:

EVERY BED WHEREON SHE LIETH ALL THE DAYS OF HER ISSUE SHALL BE UNTO HER AS THE BED OF HER SEPARATION,.... As defiled and as defiling as that, Leviticus 15:20; AND WHATSOEVER SHE SITTETH UPON SHALL BE UNCLEAN, AS THE UNCLEANNESS OF HER SEPARATION; as such were when she was in that condition, see Leviticus 15:20....

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

If the issue be abnormal, it is of the nature of a disease, and is treated in the same manner as the first case (Leviticus 15:2). The woman in the Gospel (Matthew 9:20; Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43) was thus afflicted....

DISEASED ISSUE FROM A WOMAN 15:25-33 TEXT 15:25-33 25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean. 26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her impurity: and everything whereon she sitteth shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity. 27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bath himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door...

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
