Contextual Overview

1The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When any man has a bodily discharge, his discharge is unclean. 3'This shall be [the law concerning] his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body allows its discharge to flow or obstructs its flow; it is uncleanness in him. 4'Every bed on which the one who has the discharge lies becomes unclean, and everything on which he sits becomes unclean. 5'Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening; 6and whoever sits on anything on which the man with the discharge has been sitting shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 7'Also whoever touches the man with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 8'And if he who has the discharge spits on one who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 9'Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides becomes unclean.10'Whoever touches anything that has been under him shall be unclean until evening; and whoever carries those things shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

saddle: The word merchav, from rachav, to ride, here rendered by our translators saddle, and frequently chariot. Mr. Harmer thinks rather means a litter, or coune, of which we have already given a description in Genesis 31:34. Genesis 31:34

And what saddle soever he sitteth upon that hath the issue,.... When he rides upon any beast, horse, ass, or camel, whatever is put upon the creature, and he sits upon it, the saddle, and whatever appertains to it, the housing and girdle:

shall be unclean; and not fit for another to use, but be defiling to him, as follows.
