Levítico 15:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:13

And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue
That is, it is ceased from him, as the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi explain it; for otherwise, according to the ceremonial law, he was not yet cleansed, until he had done everything next prescribed; but when he perceived there was an entire stop put to his disorder: then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing;
by which time it would appear whether he was thoroughly rid of it or not; and these seven days, as Jarchi observes, must be seven pure days, quite free from pollution, and continued in a constant course, without interruption; for, as Gersom says, if he saw any impurity in anyone of these days it did not come into the account: nay, according to Maimonides ^F2, he must begin to number again from the day of the last appearance: and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water;
typical of the fountain opened in Christ to wash in for sin and uncleanness, even the fountain of his blood, which cleanses from all sin; and in which both the persons and garments of the saints are washed and made white: and shall be clean;
in a ceremonial sense; as all that are washed from their sins in the blood of Christ are clean in a spiritual and evangelical sense.

Levítico 15:13 In-Context

11 Si el hombre toca a alguien sin primero haberse enjuagado las manos, esa persona tendrá que lavar su ropa y bañarse con agua, y permanecerá impuro hasta el anochecer.

12 Cualquier vasija de barro que el hombre toque tendrá que romperse, cualquier utensilio de madera que toque, deberá enjuagarse con agua.

13 »Cuando el hombre con la secreción sane, deberá contar siete días para el período de purificación. Luego tendrá que lavar su ropa y se bañará con agua fresca, y quedará ceremonialmente puro.

14 Al octavo día tomará dos tórtolas o dos pichones de paloma e irá ante el Señor
a la entrada del tabernáculo
y dará sus ofrendas al sacerdote.

15 Entonces el sacerdote presentará una de las aves como ofrenda por el pecado y la otra como ofrenda quemada. Mediante este proceso el sacerdote purificará
al hombre ante el Señor
por su secreción.
