Contextual Overview

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying: 2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and ye shall say unto them, - When, any man whatsoever, hath a flowing from his flesh, his flux, is, unclean. 3 And, this shall be his uncleanness in his flux, - whether his flesh is running with his flux or his flesh hath closed from his flux, his uncleanness, it is. 4 All the bed whereon he that hath the flux lieth, shall be unclean, - and, every piece of furniture whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening. 6 And, he that sitteth on that whereon he that hath the flux hath sat, shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening. 7 And, he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the flux, shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening, 8 And, when he that hath a flux spitteth on him that is clean, then shall he wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening. 9 And, every saddle whereon he that hath the flux rideth, shall be unclean. 10 And, whosoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening; and, he that carrieth them shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the priest shall offer them, the one [for] a sin offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering,.... As in the case of a new mother who is poor, and of a poor leper, Leviticus 12:8;

and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his issue; which, though not in itself sinful, yet might be occasioned by sin, for which the atonement was made: or, however, it was a ceremonial uncleanness, and therefore a ceremonial expiation must he made for it, typical of the atonement by the blood and sacrifice of Christ, by which all kinds of sin is expiated and removed.
