25 'And when a woman's issue of blood floweth many days within the time of her separation, or when it floweth over her separation—all the days of the issue of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she 'is' unclean. 26 'All the bed on which she lieth all the days of her issue is as the bed of her separation to her, and all the vessel on which she sitteth is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation; 27 and any one who is coming against them is unclean, and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening. 28 'And if she hath been clean from her issue, then she hath numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards she is clean; 29 and on the eighth day she taketh to herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath brought them in unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting; 30 and the priest hath made the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for her before Jehovah, because of the issue of her uncleanness.

Laws concerning ceremonial uncleanness.

We need not be curious in explaining these laws; but have reason to be thankful that we need fear no defilement, except that of sin, nor need ceremonial and burdensome purifications. These laws remind us that God sees all things, even those which escape the notice of men. The great gospel duties of faith and repentance are here signified, and the great gospel privileges of the application of Christ's blood to our souls for our justification, and his grace for our sanctification.
