And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto Aaron Aaron is spoken to as well Moses, because some of these purifications, after mentioned, depended on the priest, as the affair of profluvious men and women, as Gersom observes:
2
"Say to the people of Israel, When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean.
3
And this is the law of his uncleanness for a discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body is stopped from discharge, it is uncleanness in him.
4
Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything on which he sits shall be unclean.
5
And any one who touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
