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 Hablad á los hijos de Israel, y decidles: Cualquier varón, cuando su simiente manare de su carne, será inmundo.
3 Y esta será su inmundicia en su flujo; sea que su carne destiló por causa de su flujo, ó que su carne se obstruyó á causa de su flujo, él será inmundo.
4 Toda cama en que se acostare el que tuviere flujo, será inmunda; y toda cosa sobre que se sentare, inmunda será.
5 Y cualquiera que tocare á su cama, lavará sus vestidos; lavaráse también á sí mismo con agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
6 Y el que se sentare sobre aquello en que se hubiere sentado el que tiene flujo, lavará sus vestidos, se lavará también á sí mismo con agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
