Their cleansing Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies will be unclean In the context of Leviticus, the term "discharge" refers to bodily emissions that render a person ceremonially unclean. This law is part of the Holiness Code, which emphasizes purity and separation from anything that defiles. The bed, as a place of rest, becomes unclean by association, highlighting the pervasive nature of impurity. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, where even indirect contact with impurity necessitates cleansing. The concept of uncleanness here is not about hygiene but about ritual purity, which was crucial for maintaining a right relationship with God. This principle is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus emphasizes internal purity over external rituals (Mark 7:14-23). and any furniture on which he sits will be unclean Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Understanding Ritual PurityThe laws in Leviticus 15:4 emphasize the importance of ritual purity in maintaining a relationship with God. They remind us of the holiness required to approach God and the need for cleansing from impurity. Symbolism of Cleanliness The physical cleanliness laws symbolize the spiritual purity God desires. They point to the need for inner cleansing, which is fulfilled in Christ. Community and Contamination The laws highlight the impact of individual impurity on the community. This teaches us about the interconnectedness of the body of Christ and the importance of personal holiness. Christ's Fulfillment of the Law Jesus fulfills the law by providing a way for spiritual cleansing that the old rituals could not achieve. This encourages us to rely on His sacrifice for our purification. Practical Holiness While the specific laws of Leviticus are not binding on Christians, the principle of living a life set apart for God remains. We are called to pursue holiness in our daily lives.(4) Every bed, whereon he lieth.--So severely did the canonical law deal with these cases that they interpreted the defilement communicated to the bed, and hence also to his seat and saddle, by the patient in five different ways: by standing, sitting, lying, hanging, or leaning on it. The patient's polluting power is so great that even if the bed, seat, or saddle is under a stone, he defiles it through the stone by any of these actions. If he stood upon two beds, placing one foot upon each, he defiled both.
