John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue , etc.] Shall also be unclean, even any part of his flesh, or member of his body: the Jewish canon is f524 , he that toucheth one that has an issue, or he that has an issue touches him, or anyone moves him that has an issue, or he moves him, defiles food, and drink, and washing vessels by touching, but not by bearing; and particularly touching the issue itself is instanced in, and such a man’s spittle, etc. are defiled: shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even ; as before. (See Gill on “ Leviticus 15:5”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
- 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, no need ceremonial and burdensome purifications. These laws remind us tha 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 ou souls for our justification, and his grace for our sanctification _________________________________________________
