Commentary

This site's exposition

a discharge of her blood for many days

on Leviticus 15:25-30

A discharge that runs past its time moves the woman from the short rule to the long one. Mark 5:25 and Luke 8:43 tell of a woman twelve years under these verses.

This site's exposition

for her unclean discharge

The closing words match verse 15 for the man, and the atonement is made for the discharge itself. John Gill treats it as a legal uncleanness removed by sacrifice, and he reads that sacrifice as a type of the atonement of Christ. Man and woman are restored by one rite.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices

And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering,.... As in the case of a man that had an issue, the offerings of one and the other were the same and for the same purpose; See Gill on Lev 15:15; there being a legal uncleanness in their case, atonement must be made by sacrifice, typical of the atonement of Christ, who by himself has purged our sins.

proposed

We need not be at all curious in explaining these antiquated laws, it is enough if we observe the general intention; but we have need to be very cautious lest sin take occasion by the commandment to become more exceedingly sinful; and exceedingly sinful it is when lust is kindled by sparks of fire from God's altar.
