Leviticus 15:31

_THUS SHALL YE SEPARATE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM THEIR UNCLEANNESS; THAT THEY DIE NOT IN THEIR UNCLEANNESS, WHEN THEY DEFILE MY TABERNACLE THAT IS AMONG THEM._ Thus shall ye separate ... from their uncleanness. The divine wisdom was manifested in inspiring the Israelites with a profound reverence for holy things; and nothing was more suited to this purpose than to debar from the tabernacle all who were polluted by any kind of uncleanness, ceremonial as well as natural, mental as well as physical. The better to mark out that people as His family, His servants and priests, dwelling in the camp as in a holy place, consecrated by His presence and His tabernacle, He required of them complete purity, and did not allow them to come before Him when defiled, even by involuntary or secret impurities, as want of respect due to His majesty. And when we bear in mind that God was training up a peo...

Verse Leviticus 15:31. _THUS SHALL YE SEPARATE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM_ _THEIR UNCLEANNESS_] By this _separation_ the _cause_ became less frequent, and the _contagion_, if it did exist, was prevented from spreading. So _pest-houses_ and _fever-wards_ are constructed for the purpose of separating the infected from the sound; and thus contagion is lessened, and its diffusion prevented. _THAT THEY DIE NOT_] That life may be prolonged by these prudential cares; and that he who is morally and legally unclean, may not presume to enter into the tabernacle of God till purified, lest he provoke Divine justice to consume him, while attempting to worship with a polluted mind and impure hands. 1. How unpromising and how forbidding, at the first view, is this chapter! and yet how full of wise, huma

This solemn admonition is addressed to Moses and Aaron, see Leviticus 15:1. Leviticus 15:31 MY TABERNACLE - Strictly, “my dwelling-place” משׁכן _mı̂shkān_, as in Leviticus 8:10; Leviticus 17:4; Leviticus 26:11. The word rendered “tabernacle” elsewhere in Leviticus is properly “tent.” See the Exodus 26:1 note....

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:

THUS SHALL YE SEPARATE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM THEIR UNCLEANNESS,.... Or because of it, and while they are in it, as from other persons, even their nearest relations, and from the house of God, as the next clause shows; or teach them, by observing the above laws and rules, to separate themselves, and that they be careful and cautions to keep themselves apart while in such impurities; and the children of Israel are only made mention of, because these laws are only binding upon them, with their proselytes and servants, free or not free l, but not upon Gentiles; Leviticus 15:2: THAT THEY DIE NOT IN THEIR UNCLEANNESS, WHEN THEY DEFILE MY TABERNACLE THAT [IS] AMONG THEM; from whence it appears, that men and women, in the above circumstances, might not go into the tabernacle; and it was chiefly to prevent their access to it that these laws were given, for the greater reve

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

YE. Moses and Aaron. TABERNACLE. Hebrew. _mishkan,_ dwelling-place....

A reason for these purifications is given. _my tabernacle_ Another name for the tabernacle is (Heb. _mishkân) dwelling_, e.g. Exodus 25:9 R.V. mg. In Exodus 25-27, and in parts of 35 40 the word is used to denote the structure described in 26, 36, and distinguished as the -tabernacle" from the -tent over the tabernacle" (Exodus 26:7; Exodus 36:14 in R.V.). But in other passages it is used as the equivalent of the -tent of meeting" for the tabernacle with its covering tent. It indicates the place where God dwells among the children of Israel according to His promise (so in Leviticus 16:16;...

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...
