Contextual Overview

19“When a woman has a discharge, and it consists of blood from her body, she will be unclean because of her menstruation for seven days. Everyone who touches her will be unclean until evening. 20Anything she lies on during her menstruation will become unclean, and anything she sits on will become unclean. 21Everyone who touches her bed is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 22Everyone who touches any furniture she was sitting on is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 23If discharge is on the bed or the furniture she was sitting on, when he touches it he will be unclean until evening. 24If a man sleeps with her, and blood from her menstruation gets on him, he will be unclean for seven days, and every bed he lies on will become unclean. 25“When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days, though it is not the time of her menstruation, or if she has a discharge beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, as she is during the days of her menstruation. 26Any bed she lies on during the days of her discharge will be like her bed during menstrual impurity; any furniture she sits on will be unclean as in her menstrual period. 27Everyone who touches them will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 28When she is cured of her discharge, she is to count seven days, and after that she will be clean.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And of her that is sick of her flowers,.... Her monthly courses, for these are a sickness, Leviticus 20:18; and make a woman languid and faint, as the word is rendered, Lamentations 1:13; or to be in pain n, as some render it here; and pains are reckoned among the signs of them by the Misnic doctors o:

and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman; of both, whether the one or the other:

and of him that lieth with her that is unclean; though her own husband.

n והדוה "et dolentis", Montanus. o Misn. Niddah, c. 9. sect. 8.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.
