1 The uncleanness of men in their issues.
13 The cleansing of them.
19 The uncleanness of women in their issues.
28 Their cleansing.
VERSE 1
- Aaron.
* Le 11:1; 13:1 Ps 25:14 Am 3:7 Heb 1:1
VERSE 2
- unto the.
* De 4:7,8 Ne 9:13,14 Ps 78:5; 147:19,20 Ro 3:2
- when any man.
It is not necessary to consider particularly the laws
contained in this chapter, the letter of the text being in
general sufficiently plain. It may, however, be observed,
that from the pains which persons rendered unclean were
obliged to take, the ablutions and separations which they
must observe, and the privations to which they must in
consequence be exposed, in the way of commerce, traffic,
etc., these laws were admirably adapted to prevent contagion
of every kind, by keeping the whole from the diseased, and to
hinder lascivious indulgences and excesses of every
description.
* Le 22:4 Nu 5:2 2Sa 3:29 Mt 9:20 Mr 5:25; 7:20-23 Lu 8:43
- running issue. or, running of the reins.
VERSE 3

VERSE 9
- 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 Ge 31:34.
* Ge 31:34
VERSE 10
- See on ver.
* :5,8 Ps 26:6 Jas 8 4:8
VERSE 11
- whomsoever.
It is rather doubtful whether the words hath not rinsed his
hands in water refer to him who was diseased, or to him who
had his hands touched. Most understand it of the former,
that if the person who had the issue rinsed his hands in
water, just before he touched any one, he did not communicate
any pollution; otherwise, he did. But the Syriac refers it
to the person touched by him, though it seems strange that he
should be cleansed by washing his hands, when perhaps some
other part was touched.

VERSE 16
* :5; 22:4 De 23:10,11 2Co 7:1 1Pe 2:11 1Jo 1:7
VERSE 17
- skin.
The poorer class of Arabs of our times make use of mats in
their tents; and other inhabitants of these countries, who
affect ancient simplicity of manners, make use of goat-skins.
Dr. R. Chandler, in his Travels in Greece, tells us, that he
saw some dervishes at Athens sitting on goat-skins; and that
he was afterwards conducted into a room furnished in like
manner, with the same kind of carpeting, where he was treated
with a pipe and coffee by the chief dervish. Those that are
at all acquainted with Oriental manners, in these later
times, know that their dervishes (who are a sort of
Mohammedan devotees, a good deal resembling the begging
friars of the church or Rome) affect great simplicity, and
even sometimes austerity, in their dress and way of living.
As these dervishes that Dr. Chandler visited sat on
goat-skins, and used no other kind of carpet for the
accommodation of those who visited them: so it should seem
that the Israelites in the wilderness made use of skins for
mattresses to lie upon, and consequently, we may equally
suppose to sit upon in the day time, instead of a carpet.

These laws were principally intended to impress the minds of
the Israelites with reverence for the sanctuary; and, on the
one hand, to shew them what need they had of circumspection,
and purity of heart and life, in order to worship the holy
God with acceptance; and, on the other hand, that being
sinners in a world full of temptations and defilements, they
would continually need forgiveness, through the great
atonement typified by all the sacrifices, and the
sanctification of the Spirit, showed forth by all the
purifications. While they were encamped in the desert, it
would not be very burdensome to bring the prescribed
oblations; but after they were settled in Canaan, many of
them at a great distance from the tabernacle, this would
become much more difficult. We may, however, observe,
continues Mr. Scott, that many of the cases stated only
required such washings as might any where be performed, and
that those, respecting which sacrifices were appointed, would
more rarely occur. We may also suppose, that provided these
were brought, when the person who had been unclean first came
to the sanctuary, it would suffice: though distance or other
hindrances prevented its being done immediately, at the
expiration of the seven days.
