Lev 15:19 | MHM | STEP | Leviticus 15:19: Laws about Ceremonial Uncleanness for Women This passage describes the laws about ceremonial uncleanness that women experienced because of bodily discharges. This included both the regular monthly period ( v. 19-24 ) and unusual or unhealthy bleeding, like the woman who was healed by Jesus after twelve years of suffering ( v. 25 ). Anything and anyone she touched during this time would also become unclean ( v. 26, 27 ). After the bleeding stopped, and she had been free from it for seven days, she had to bring two birds as a sacrifice to be made clean again ( v. 28, 29 ). The Bible often uses this type of uncleanness as a picture for sin or idolatry (Ezekiel 36:17; Lamentations 1:9 ). v. 19-24 : The regular period made a woman unclean for seven days. Anything or anyone she touched during this time became unclean too ( v. 19-24 ).
