Compare especially Lev 12:2 with Lev 15:19. It stands here between two chapters, with neither of which has it any close connection.\nThe mere cessation of the issue does not make him clean: he must wait seven days, etc., preparatory to his offering sacrifice.\nMost of the ancient religions made a similar recognition of impurity and of the need of purfication.\nEvery garment - Compare Jde 1:23.\nThis must refer to an unexpected occurrence. Intercourse during the acknowledged period was a heavy crime, and was to be punished by \"cutting off\" Lev 18:19; Lev 20:18; Eze 18:6.\nThis solemn admonition is addressed to Moses and Aaron, see Lev 15:1.\nMy tabernacle - Strictly, \"my dwelling-place\" \u05de\u05e9\u05c1\u05db\u05df m\u0131\u0302shk\u0101n, as in Lev 8:10; Lev 17:4; Lev 26:11.
