Ceremonial Purification. . 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest: 15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue. 16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. We have here the law concerning the ceremonial uncleanness that was contracted by running issues in men. It is called in the margin ( Leviticus 15:2 ; Leviticus 15:2 ) the running of the reins: a very grievous and loathsome disease, which was, usually the effect and consequent of wantonness and uncleanness, and a dissolute course of life, filling men's bones with the sins of their youth, and leaving them to mourn at the last, when all the pleasures of their wickedness have vanished, and nothing remains but the pain and anguish of a rotten carcase and a wounded conscience. And what fruit has the sinner then of those things whereof he has so much reason to be ashamed? Romans 6:21 . As modesty is an ornament of grace to the head and chains about the neck, so chastity is health to the navel and marrow to the bones; but uncleanness is a wound and dishonour, the consumption of the flesh and the body, and a sin which is often its own punishment more than any other. It was also sometimes inflicted by the righteous hand of God for other sins, as appears by David's imprecation of a curse upon the family of Joab, for the murder of Abner. 2 Samuel 3:29 , Let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or is a leper. A vile disease for vile deserts. Now whoever had this disease upon him, 1. He was himself unclean, Leviticus 15:2 ; Leviticus 15:2 . He must not dare to come near the sanctuary, it was at his peril if he did, nor might he eat of the holy things. This signified the filthiness of sin, and of all the productions of our corrupt nature, which render us odious to God's holiness, and utterly unfit for communion with him. Out of a pure heart well kept are the issues of life ( Proverbs 4:23 ), but out of an unclean heart comes that which is defiling, Matthew 12:34 ; Matthew 12:35 . 2. He made every person and thing unclean that he touched, or that touched him, Leviticus 15:4-12 ; Leviticus 15:4-12 . His bed, and his chair, and his saddle, and every thing that belonged to him, could not be touched without a ceremonial uncleanness contracted, which a man must remain conscious to himself of till sunset, and from which he could not be cleansed without washing his clothes, and bathing his flesh in water. This signified the contagion of sin, the danger we are in of being polluted by conversing with those that are polluted, and the need we have with the utmost circumspection to save ourselves from this untoward generation. 3. When he was cured of the disease, yet he could not be cleansed from the pollution without a sacrifice, for which he was to prepare himself by seven days' expectation after he was perfectly clear from his distemper, and by bathing in spring water, Leviticus 15:13-15 ; Leviticus 15:13-15 . This signified the great gospel duties of faith and repentance, and the great gospel privileges of the application of Christ's blood to our souls for our justification and his grace for our sanctification. God has promised to sprinkle clean water upon us, and to cleanse us from all our filthiness, and has appointed us by repentance to wash and make ourselves clean: he has also provided a sacrifice of atonement, and requires us by faith to interest ourselves in that sacrifice; for it is the blood of Christ his Son that cleanses us from all sin, and by which atonement is made for us, that we may have admission into God's presence and may partake of his favour. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-19-33" class="com-number"

이 본문은 남자들에게 생기는 유출로 인한 의식적 부정함에 관한 율법을 다룬다. 이것은 성경 난외주(2절)에서 '콩팥의 유출'이라 표현된 매우 괴롭고 혐오스러운 질병으로, 대개 방탕하고 음란한 생활과 방종한 삶의 결과였다. 이러한 삶은 젊은 시절의 죄악으로 뼈를 가득 채우고, 쾌락이 사라진 뒤에 오직 썩어 가는 육체와 상처 입은 양심의 고통과 괴로움만 남게 한다. 그러한 죄로 말미암아 부끄러워해야 할 것들에서 죄인이 얻는 열매가 무엇이겠는가? (로마서 6:21) 정절이 머리의 우아한 관이요 목의 사슬인 것처럼, 순결은 배꼽의 건강이요 뼈의 골수이다. 그러나 음란은 상처요 수치이며, 육체와 몸을 소모시키고, 다른 어떤 죄보다도 스스로 그 벌이 되는 경우가 많다. 또한 이 병은 때로 다른 죄들에 대한 하나님의 공의로운 손에 의해 내려지기도 했다. 이는 요압 집안에 대한 다윗의 저주에서도 나타난다. 다윗은 아브넬의 살인에 대한 벌로 요압 집에서 유출병자나 나병 환자가 끊이지 않기를 기원했다(사무엘하 3:29). 이처럼 비열한 행위에는 추한 벌이 따랐다.
이 질병을 앓는 사람에게는 다음과 같은 규정이 적용되었다.
첫째, 그 사람 자신이 부정하였다(2절). 그는 감히 성소에 가까이 나아오지 못하였으며, 거기에 나아갔다가는 죽음을 면하지 못하였고, 성물을 먹는 것도 금지되었다. 이것은 죄의 더러움을, 그리고 우리의 부패한 본성이 만들어 내는 모든 것의 더러움을 상징하였다. 이러한 더러움은 우리를 하나님의 거룩하심에 가증스러운 존재로 만들고, 그분과의 교제에 전적으로 부적합하게 만든다. 마음이 잘 지켜지면 그 마음에서 생명의 흐름이 나오지만(잠언 4:23), 더러운 마음에서는 더럽히는 것이 나온다(마태복음 12:34-35).
둘째, 그는 자신이 접촉하는 모든 사람과 물건을 부정하게 만들었다(4-12절). 그의 침상, 의자, 안장, 그에게 속한 모든 것을 만지면 의식적 부정함이 전해졌다. 그 사람은 해질 때까지 이 부정함을 의식해야 했고, 옷을 빨고 몸을 물에 씻어야 깨끗해질 수 있었다. 이것은 죄의 전염성, 즉 더러워진 사람들과 교제함으로써 우리도 더럽혀질 위험, 그리고 이 패역한 세대로부터 우리 자신을 지키기 위해 극도로 조심해야 할 필요성을 상징하였다.
셋째, 질병이 나은 후에도 희생 제사 없이는 부정함에서 깨끗해질 수 없었다. 이를 위해 병이 완전히 나은 후 7일을 기다리고, 흐르는 물에 목욕을 해야 했다(13-15절). 이것은 믿음과 회개라는 위대한 복음적 의무와, 칭의를 위한 그리스도의 피 적용 및 성화를 위한 그분의 은혜라는 위대한 복음적 특권을 상징하였다. 하나님은 우리에게 깨끗한 물을 뿌리고 모든 더러움에서 우리를 정결하게 하겠다고 약속하셨으며, 회개로 우리 자신을 씻고 깨끗하게 할 것을 명하셨다. 또한 그분은 속죄의 희생을 마련하시고, 믿음으로 우리가 그 희생에 참여하기를 요구하신다. 그분의 아들의 피가 우리를 모든 죄에서 깨끗하게 하여 우리로 하나님의 임재 앞에 나아가고 그분의 은총을 누릴 수 있게 한다.

L E V I T C U S CHAP. XV. 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, Leviticus 15:1-18 . Or, II. In women, Leviticus 15:19-33 . 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. The case is bad with the soul when it is putrefied by that which should purify it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-18" class="com-number"

레위기 15장에는 나병 환자의 경우와 유사하게 몸의 질병이나 자연적인 현상으로 인해 생기는 그 밖의 의식적 부정함에 관한 율법이 담겨 있다. 이 율법은 두 가지 경우를 다룬다. 첫째는 남자에 관한 경우(1-18절), 둘째는 여자에 관한 경우(19-33절)이다. 이제는 폐기된 이 율법들을 세세히 설명하는 데 지나치게 공을 들일 필요는 없다. 이 율법들의 전반적인 취지를 파악하는 것으로 충분하다. 그러나 우리는 하나님의 제단에서 나온 불꽃으로 정욕에 불이 붙는 일이 없도록 매우 조심해야 한다. 정화시켜야 할 것이 오히려 영혼을 더럽히게 된다면, 그것은 영혼이 극히 병든 상태임을 드러낸다.

19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. 24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. 26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness. 31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. 32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; 33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean. This is concerning the ceremonial uncleanness which women lay under from their issues, both those that were regular and healthful, and according to the course of nature ( Leviticus 15:19-24 ; Leviticus 15:19-24 ), and those that were unseasonable, excessive, and the disease of the body; such was the bloody issue of that poor woman who was suddenly cured by touching the hem of Christ's garment, after she had lain twelve years under her distemper, and had spent her estate upon physicians and physic in vain. This made the woman that was afflicted with it unclean ( Leviticus 15:25 ; Leviticus 15:25 ) and every thing she touched unclean, Leviticus 15:26 ; Leviticus 15:27 . And if she was cured, and found by seven days' trial that she was perfectly free from her issue of blood, she was to be cleansed by the offering of two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, to make an atonement for her, Leviticus 15:28 ; Leviticus 15:29 . All wicked courses, particularly idolatries, are compared to the uncleanness of a removed woman ( Ezekiel 36:17 ), and, in allusion to this, it is said of Jerusalem ( Lamentations 1:9 ), Her filthiness is in her skirts, so that (as it follows, Leviticus 15:17 ; Leviticus 15:17 ) she was shunned as a menstruous woman. I. The reasons given for all these laws (which we are ready to think might very well have been spared) we have, Leviticus 15:31 ; Leviticus 15:31 . 1. Thus shall you separate the children of Israel (for to them only and their servants and proselytes these laws pertained) from their uncleanness; that is, (1.) By these laws they were taught their privilege and honour, that they were purified unto God a peculiar people, and were intended by the holy God for a kingdom of priests, a holy nation; for that was a defilement to them which was not so to others. (2.) They were also taught their duty, which was to preserve the honour of their purity, and to keep themselves from all sinful pollutions. It was easy for them to argue that if those pollutions which were natural, unavoidable, involuntary, their affliction and not their sin, rendered them for the time so odious that they were not fit for communion either with God or man, much more abominable and filthy were they if they sinned against the light and law of nature, by drunkenness, adultery, fraud, and the like sins, which defile the very mind and conscience. And, if these ceremonial pollutions could not be done away but by sacrifice and offering, something greater and much more valuable must be expected and depended upon for the purifying of the soul from the uncleanness of sin. 2. Thus their dying in their uncleanness by the hand of God's justice, if while they were under any of these defilements they should come near the sanctuary, would be prevented. Note, It is a dangerous thing to die in our uncleanness; and it is our own fault if we do, since we have not only fair warning given us, by God's law, against those things that will defile us, but also such gracious provision made by his gospel for our cleansing if at any time we be defiled. 3. In all these laws there seems to be a special regard had to the honour of the tabernacle, to which none must approach in their uncleanness, that they defile not my tabernacle. Infinite Wisdom took this course to preserve in the minds of that careless people a continual dread of, and veneration for, the manifestations of God's glory and presence among them in his sanctuary. Now that the tabernacle of God was with men familiarity would be apt to breed contempt, and therefore the law made so many things of frequent incidence to be ceremonial pollutions, and to involve an incapacity of drawing near to the sanctuary (making death the penalty), that so they might not approach without great caution, and reverence, and serious preparation, and fear of being found unfit. Thus they were taught never to draw near to God but with an awful humble sense of their distance and danger, and an exact observance of every thing that was required in order to their safety and acceptance. II. And what duty must we learn from all this? 1. Let us bless God that we are not under the yoke of these carnal ordinances, that, as nothing can destroy us, so nothing can defile us, but sin. Those may now partake of the Lord's supper who durst not then eat of the peace-offerings. And the defilement we contract by our sins of daily infirmity we may be cleansed from in secret by the renewed acts of repentance and faith, without bathing in water or bringing an offering to the door of the tabernacle. 2. Let us carefully abstain from all sin, as defiling to the conscience, and particularly from all fleshly lusts, possessing our vessel in sanctification and honour, and not in the lusts of uncleanness, which not only pollute the soul, but war against it, and threaten its ruin. 3. Let us all see how indispensably necessary real holiness is to our future happiness, and get our hearts purified by faith, that we may see God. Perhaps it is in allusion to these laws which forbade the unclean to approach the sanctuary that when it is asked, Who shall stand in God's holy place? it is answered, He that hath clean hands and a pure heart ( Psalms 24:3 ; Psalms 24:4 ); for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. return to ' Top of Page ' Leviticus Lev 14 Leviticus Lev Leviticus Lev 16 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

이 본문은 여자들이 유출로 인해 받게 되는 의식적 부정함에 관한 것이다. 여기에는 정기적이고 건강한 자연적인 경우(19-24절)와 때를 넘기거나 지나치게 많은 병적인 경우가 모두 포함된다. 후자의 경우는, 그리스도의 옷자락을 만짐으로써 순식간에 고침을 받았던 그 불쌍한 여인의 혈루증이 이에 해당하는데, 그녀는 12년 동안이나 그 병을 앓으며 의사들과 약에 재산을 탕진한 바 있었다.
이러한 병적인 유출을 앓는 여인은 부정하였고(25절), 그녀가 만진 모든 것도 부정하였다(26-27절). 7일 동안의 확인을 거쳐 혈루가 완전히 멈춘 것이 확인되면, 속죄를 위해 산비둘기 두 마리나 집비둘기 새끼 두 마리를 드려 정결함을 받아야 했다(28-29절). 모든 악한 행위, 특히 우상 숭배는 월경 중인 여인의 부정함에 비유된다(에스겔 36:17). 이와 유사하게 예루살렘에 대해서도 "그녀의 더러움이 그 치마폭에 있다"고 했으며(예레미야애가 1:9), 따라서 그녀가 월경 중인 여인처럼 기피되었다는 내용이 뒤따른다(17절).
**I. 이 모든 율법에 담긴 이유(31절).**
1. "이스라엘 자손을 부정함으로부터 구별하라." 즉 (1) 이 율법들을 통해 그들은 자신의 특권과 영예를 깨달았다. 그들은 하나님을 위해 정결하게 구별된 특별한 백성이요, 거룩하신 하나님이 제사장 나라, 거룩한 민족으로 삼으려 하셨던 백성이었다. 남들에게는 부정함이 아닌 것이 그들에게는 부정함이 되었다. (2) 그들은 또한 자신들의 의무를 교훈받았으니, 그것은 순결의 영예를 보전하고 모든 죄악된 더러움으로부터 자신을 지키는 것이었다. 자연적이고 불가피하며 의도치 않은 부정함, 즉 자신의 죄가 아닌 고통인 부정함조차도 잠시 동안 하나님이나 사람과의 교제에서 그들을 배제시킬 정도로 가증스러운 것으로 여겨진다면, 자연의 빛과 율법을 어기는 죄, 즉 취함, 간음, 사기 등 마음과 양심 자체를 더럽히는 죄들은 얼마나 더 가증스럽고 더러운 것이겠는가. 그리고 이러한 의식적 부정함조차 희생 제사 없이는 제거될 수 없다면, 영혼을 죄의 부정함으로부터 정결하게 하기 위해서는 훨씬 더 귀하고 가치 있는 무언가가 기대되고 의지되어야 함을 알아야 한다.
2. 이러한 더러움 아래 있는 동안 성소에 가까이 나아감으로써 하나님의 공의의 손에 의해 부정한 채로 죽는 일이 방지되었다. 우리가 부정한 채로 죽는 것은 극히 위험한 일이다. 하나님의 율법이 우리를 더럽힐 것들에 대해 충분한 경고를 주시고, 우리가 혹 더럽혀지더라도 그분의 복음으로 우리를 깨끗하게 해 주시는 은혜로운 방편을 마련해 주셨으니, 부정한 채로 죽는 것은 전적으로 우리 자신의 잘못이다.
3. 이 모든 율법에는 성막의 영예에 대한 특별한 배려가 담겨 있다. 부정한 자는 누구든지 성막에 가까이 나아오지 못하도록 하여 "내 성막을 더럽히지 않게" 하려는 것이었다. 무한한 지혜는 이 방법을 통해 그 부주의한 백성의 마음 속에 그들 중에 있는 성막에서의 하나님의 영광과 임재의 나타나심에 대한 지속적인 경외심을 유지시켰다. 하나님의 성막이 사람들 가운데 있게 되자, 친숙함은 경멸을 낳기 쉬웠다. 그러므로 율법은 자주 일어나는 많은 일들을 의식적 오염으로 규정하고, 성소에 나아갈 수 없게 만들었으며(죽음을 형벌로 삼아), 그들이 큰 조심과 경외, 진지한 준비, 그리고 부적합한 상태로 발견될 것에 대한 두려움 없이는 가까이 나아오지 못하게 하였다. 이를 통해 그들은 하나님께 나아갈 때 자신의 거리와 위험에 대한 경건한 겸손한 의식, 그리고 안전과 열납을 위해 요구되는 모든 것을 정확히 준수하는 자세로 나아오도록 가르침을 받았다.
**II. 이 모든 것에서 우리는 무엇을 배워야 하는가?**
1. 우리가 이러한 육체적 규례의 멍에 아래 있지 않음을 하나님께 감사해야 한다. 죄 외에 우리를 파멸시키거나 더럽힐 것은 없다. 옛날에 화목제를 먹지 못했던 사람들도 이제는 주의 성찬에 참여할 수 있다. 또한 날마다 범하는 작은 죄들로 인한 부정함은 물에 목욕하거나 성막 문에 제물을 가져오는 것 없이, 비밀한 중에 회개와 믿음의 새로운 행위를 통해 깨끗해질 수 있다.
2. 양심을 더럽히는 죄, 특히 모든 육체적 정욕을 삼가야 한다. 성결과 존귀로 자신의 몸을 다스리고, 영혼을 더럽힐 뿐 아니라 그것에 맞서 싸워 파멸을 위협하는 음란의 정욕에 빠지지 않아야 한다.
3. 우리 모두 진정한 거룩함이 미래의 행복에 얼마나 절대적으로 필요한지를 깨달아, 믿음으로 마음을 정결하게 하여 하나님을 뵈어야 한다. 아마도 부정한 자들이 성소에 나아오지 못하게 하는 이 율법들을 암시하여, "누가 여호와의 거룩한 곳에 설 수 있으랴?"라는 질문에 "손이 깨끗하고 마음이 청결한 자"(시편 24:3-4)라고 답하는 것이리라. 거룩함이 없이는 아무도 주를 볼 수 없기 때문이다.
