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).

6 And the person who sits on the object upon which the person who discharges has sat must wash his garments, and he shall wash [himself] with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

7 And the person who touches the body of the person who discharges must wash his garments, and he shall wash [himself] with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.
