Contextual Overview
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: The man that hath an issue of seed, shall be unclean. 3 And then shall he be judged subject to this evil, when a filthy humour, at every moment, cleaveth to his flesh, and gathereth there. 4 Every bed on which he sleepeth, shall be unclean, and every place on which he sitteth. 5 If any man touch his bed, he shall wash his clothes and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening. 6 If a man sit where that man hath sitten, he also shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening. 7 He that toucheth his flesh, shall wash his clothes: and being himself washed with water shall be unclean until the evening. 8 If such a man cast his spittle upon him that is clean, he shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening. 9 The saddle on which he hath sitten shall be unclean. 10 And whatsoever has been under him that hath the issue of seed, shall be unclean until the evening. He that carrieth any of these things, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
skin: The poorer class of Arabs of our times make use of mats in their tents; and other inhabitants of these countries, who affect ancient simplicity of manners, make use of goat-skins. Dr. R. Chandler, in his Travels in Greece, tells us, that he saw some dervishes at Athens sitting on goat-skins; and that he was afterwards conducted into a room furnished in like manner, with the same kind of carpeting, where he was treated with a pipe and coffee by the chief dervish. Those that are at all acquainted with Oriental manners, in these later times, know that their dervishes - who are a sort of Mohammedan devotees, a good deal resembling the begging friars of the church or Rome affect great simplicity, and even sometimes austerity, in their dress and way of living. As these dervishes that Dr. Chandler visited sat on goat-skins, and used no other kind of carpet for the accommodation of those who visited them, so it should seem that the Israelites in the wilderness made use of skins for mattresses to lie upon, and consequently, we may equally suppose to sit upon in the day time, instead of a carpet.
Reciprocal: Leviticus 7:8 - even the priest Numbers 31:23 - ye shall make Deuteronomy 23:11 - when evening 1 Samuel 20:26 - he is not clean

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And every garment, and every skin,.... Or that is made of skin, which a man wears, or lies upon, see Leviticus 13:48;
whereon is the seed of copulation; or on any other, for, as Gersom says, there is the same law concerning the rest of vessels, seeing this is a principal uncleanness, and defiles vessels; and perhaps the law makes mention of these, because it is more apt to be found on them:
shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even; see Judges 1:23.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Most of the ancient religions made a similar recognition of impurity and of the need of purfication.
Leviticus 15:17
Every garment - Compare Jude 1:23.
