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.
