Levítico 15:4

4 “A cama em que um homem com fluxo se deitar ficará impura, e qualquer coisa em que se sentar ficará impura.

Levítico 15:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:4

Every bed whereon he lieth that hath the issue is unclean
Which he constantly makes use of; so the Targum of Jonathan, which is peculiar to him, and appointed and appropriated for him to lie upon. Jarchi says, every bed that is fit to lie upon, thou is appropriated to another service; but, he adds meaning is, which he shall lie upon (or continue to lie upon); for it is not said, which he hath laid upon, but which he lieth upon, and is used by him continually; according to the Misnah F21, a man that has an issue defiles a bed five ways, so as to defile a man, and to defile garments; standing, sitting, lying, hanging, and leaning:

and everything whereon he sitteth shall be unclean;
which is appropriated to sit upon; and so the Targum, as before, what is his proper peculiar seat, what he is used to sit upon, and is fit for that purpose: and it is observed by some Jewish writers F23 that a vessel that is not fit to sit upon is excluded, as if a man was to turn up a bushel, or any other measure, to sit upon it; see ( Titus 1:15 ) .

Levítico 15:4 In-Context

2 “Digam o seguinte aos israelitas: Quando um homem tiver um fluxo que sai do corpo, o fluxo é impuro.
3 Ele ficará impuro por causa do seu fluxo, quer continue, quer fique retido.
4 “A cama em que um homem com fluxo se deitar ficará impura, e qualquer coisa em que se sentar ficará impura.
5 Quem tocar na cama dele lavará as suas roupas, se banhará com água e ficará impuro até a tarde.
6 Todo aquele que se sentar sobre qualquer coisa na qual esse homem se sentou, lavará suas roupas, se banhará com água e estará impuro até a tarde.
