What man soever of the seed of Aaron [is] a leper, etc.] A young, or an old man, as the Targum of Jonathan, and indeed man or woman; for the wives and daughters of the priests, if in this, and other circumstances following, might not eat of the holy things until cleansed, who otherwise might, (see <031302>Leviticus 13:2 <041813>Numbers 18:13); or hath a running issue; a gonorrhoea, whether man or woman, (<031502>Leviticus 15:2,25); he shall not eat of the holy things until he be clean; he might eat of the tithes, but not of the wave breast, or heave shoulder: and whoso toucheth any [that is] unclean [by] the dead; not only that touched the dead, which made unclean, but that touched any person or thing that was made unclean by it: or a man whose seed goeth from him; involuntarily when asleep, in a dream, and through a lustful imagination; (see <031516>Leviticus 15:16).
