Commentary

3 notes on this verse
This chapter would seem to take its place more naturally before Lev 12:1-8, with the subject of which it is inmediately connected. Compare especially Lev 12:2 with Lev 15:19. It stands here between two chapters, with neither of which has it any close connection.

This site's exposition

spake unto Moses and to Aaron

on Leviticus 15:1-5

The chapter is spoken to Aaron as well as to Moses, which is the pattern across the clean and unclean laws at 11:1, 13:1 and 14:33, because a priest has to rule on them. The definition at verse 3 covers a flow that runs and a flow that is stopped, so the thing that makes the man unclean is the condition rather than what a bystander can see. From verse 4 the uncleanness moves outward onto his bed and his seat, and the rest of the case is about what he touches.
