Levítico 15:4

4 »Será impura toda cama donde se acueste el afectado por el flujo, lo mismo que todo objeto sobre el que se siente.

Levítico 15:4 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 15:4

Every bed whereon he lieth that hath the issue is unclean
Which he constantly makes use of; so the Targum of Jonathan, which is peculiar to him, and appointed and appropriated for him to lie upon. Jarchi says, every bed that is fit to lie upon, thou is appropriated to another service; but, he adds meaning is, which he shall lie upon (or continue to lie upon); for it is not said, which he hath laid upon, but which he lieth upon, and is used by him continually; according to the Misnah F21, a man that has an issue defiles a bed five ways, so as to defile a man, and to defile garments; standing, sitting, lying, hanging, and leaning:

and everything whereon he sitteth shall be unclean;
which is appropriated to sit upon; and so the Targum, as before, what is his proper peculiar seat, what he is used to sit upon, and is fit for that purpose: and it is observed by some Jewish writers F23 that a vessel that is not fit to sit upon is excluded, as if a man was to turn up a bushel, or any other measure, to sit upon it; see ( Titus 1:15 ) .

Levítico 15:4 In-Context

2 que les dijeran a los israelitas: «Si algún hombre tiene un derrame seminal, tal derrame es impuro,
3 lo mismo que el hombre, ya sea que su órgano sexual emita el flujo o que el flujo obstruya el órgano.»El flujo causa impureza en los siguientes casos:
4 »Será impura toda cama donde se acueste el afectado por el flujo, lo mismo que todo objeto sobre el que se siente.
5 »Todo el que toque la cama del afectado por el flujo deberá lavarse la ropa y bañarse, y quedará impuro hasta el anochecer.
6 »Todo el que se siente donde se haya sentado el afectado por el flujo deberá lavarse la ropa y bañarse, y quedará impuro hasta el anochecer.
