15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his {a} flesh, [because of] his issue he [is] unclean.

(a) Whose seed either in sleeping or else of weakness of nature issues at his secret part.

15:2 A running issue - Commonly called the running of the reins, a grievous and loathsome disease, which is generally the consequence of sin.

15:1-33 Laws concerning ceremonial uncleanness. - We need not be curious in explaining these laws; but have reason to be thankful that we need fear no defilement, except that of sin, nor need ceremonial and burdensome purifications. These laws remind us that God sees all things, even those which escape the notice of men. The great gospel duties of faith and repentance are here signified, and the great gospel privileges of the application of Christ's blood to our souls for our justification, and his grace for our sanctification.
