Leviticus 15:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:7

And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue
Shall also be unclean, even any part of his flesh, or member of his body: the Jewish canon is ^F25, 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 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).
