Leviticus 15:24 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:24

And if any man lie with her at all
Not presumptuously but ignorantly, as Aben Ezra observes; for he was guilty of cutting off, that lay with her wilfully, ( Leviticus 20:18 ) ; and her flowers be upon her;
or, "her separation" ^F11, her monthly courses not being ceased: he shall be unclean seven days;
and be excluded from all conversation civil and religious: and all the bed whereon she lieth shall be unclean;
that and every thing upon it; and this uncleanness also lasted seven days, as Aben Ezra notes, and defiled others, though it is not written.

Leviticus 15:24 In-Context

22 Whoever touches any furniture on which she was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

23 And whether it is a bed or furniture on which she was sitting, whoever touches it will be unclean until evening.

24 If a man lies with her and her menstrual flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will become unclean.

25 When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.

26 Any bed on which she lies or any furniture on which she sits during the days of her discharge will be unclean, like her bed during her menstrual period.
