Leviticus 15:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:6

And he that sitteth on [any] thing whereon he sat that hath the
issue
Shall be unclean, even though he does not touch it. Jarchi says, though there should be, as he adds, ten things or vessels one upon another, they all defile because of sitting, and so by lying:

shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean
until the even; as in the preceding case. (See Gill on Leviticus 15:5).

Leviticus 15:6 In-Context

4 "Every bed on which he lies is ritually unclean, everything on which he sits is unclean.
5 If someone touches his bed or sits on anything he's sat on, or touches the man with the discharge, he has to wash his clothes and bathe in water; he remains unclean until evening.
8 "If the man with the discharge spits on someone who is clean, that person has to wash his clothes and bathe in water; he remains unclean until evening.
