Levitico 15:16 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:16

And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him
Not in lawful cohabitation, nor voluntarily, but involuntarily, as Aben Ezra observes; not through any disorder, which came by an accident, or in any criminal way, but through a dream, or any lustful imagination; what is commonly called nocturnal pollution F3; then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the
even;
and so the Egyptian priests, when it happened that they were defiled by a dream, they immediately purified themselves in a laver F4 so the Jewish priests did when the like happened to them asleep in the temple F5; see ( Deuteronomy 23:10 Deuteronomy 23:11 ) .

Levitico 15:16 In-Context

14 E l’ottavo giorno, prendasi due tortole, o due pippioni, e venga davanti al Signore, all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza; e rechi quelli al sacerdote.
15 E offeriscali il sacerdote, l’uno in sacrificio per lo peccato, e l’altro in olocausto; e così faccia il sacerdote, davanti al Signore, il purgamento per lui della sua colagione.
16 E quando di alcuno sarà uscito seme genitale, lavisi egli con acqua tutte le carni; e sia immondo infino alla sera.
17 Sia eziandio lavata con acqua ogni vesta, e ogni pelle, sopra la quale sarà seme genitale; e sia immonda infino alla sera.
18 E se un uomo, che abbia la colagione, giace carnalmente con una donna; lavinsi amendue con acqua, e sieno immondi infino alla sera.
