Compare all

14 On the eighth day he shall take for himself ^atwo turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the priest.

15 Then the priest shall offer them, ^athe one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. ^bSo the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord because of his discharge.

16 ^a‘If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening.

17 And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.

18 Also, when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they shall bathe in water, and ^abe unclean until evening.

19 ^a‘If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be¹ set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.

20 Everything that she lies on during her impurity shall be unclean; also everything that she sits on shall be unclean.

Laws concerning ceremonial uncleanness.

- We need not be curious in explaining these laws; but have reason to be thankful that we need fear no defilement, except that of sin, nor need ceremonial and burdensome purifications. These laws remind us that God sees all things, even those which escape the notice of men. The great gospel duties of faith and repentance are here signified, and the great gospel privileges of the application of Christ's blood to our souls for our justification, and his grace for our sanctification.
