How preachers through history handled this text
3 public-domain excerpts on Leviticus 15, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“In this chapter we have laws concerning other ceremonial uncleannesses contracted either by bodily disease like that of the leper, or some natural incidents, and this either, I. In men, ver. 1-18. Or, II. In women, ver. 19-33. 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. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible, Vol. 1 (Genesis to Deuteronomy), on Leviticus 15:1–33 (Public Domain)
