Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Continue in the blood of her purifying.--Better, continue in the blood of purification, that is, pure blood. Though the discharge consequent upon the birth ceases after two or three weeks, the period in this case, as in the former instance, is nearly doubled, to include exceptional cases. During these thirty-three days, which constituted the second stage, the mother was only debarred from touching holy things, such as first tithes, the flesh of thank- and peace-offerings, &c, and from entering the sanctuary. Having bathed at the end of the seven days which constituted the first and defiling period, she could now partake of the second tithes, and resume conjugal intercourse, since any blood that might now appear was regarded as pure blood, in contradistinction to the (dam nidah) blood of monthly courses. Her proximity, therefore, no longer defiled. The Sadducees and the Samaritans during the second Temple, and their followers, the Karaite Jews, interpreted this law more rigidly. Though admitting that there is a difference of degree in the two periods, they maintained that the woman was too unclean for conjugal intercourse even during the second period. They therefore pointed the text differently so as to yield the rendering "blood of her purifying." The Authorised Version, which, in this instance, follows the opinion of the Sadducees, departs from the received text.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThe woman shall continueתֵּשֵׁ֖ב (tê·šêḇ)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 3427: To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marryin purificationטָהֳרָ֑ה (ṭā·ho·rāh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2893: Ceremonial purification, moral purityfrom her bleedingבִּדְמֵ֣י (biḏ·mê)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1818: Blood, of man, an animal, the juice of the grape, bloodshedfor thirty-threeוּשְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים (ū·šə·lō·šîm)Conjunctive waw | Number - common pluralStrong's 7970: Thirty, thirtiethdays.יוֹם֙ (yō·wm)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3117: A dayShe must notלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, notouchתִגָּ֗ע (ṯig·gā‘)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 5060: To touch, lay the hand upon, to reach, violently, to strikeanythingבְּכָל־ (bə·ḵāl)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everysacredקֹ֣דֶשׁ (qō·ḏeš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6944: A sacred place, thing, sanctityor goתָבֹ֔א (ṯā·ḇō)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gointoוְאֶל־ (wə·’el-)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe sanctuaryהַמִּקְדָּשׁ֙ (ham·miq·dāš)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4720: A consecrated thing, place, a palace, sanctuary, asylumuntilעַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whilethe daysיְמֵ֥י (yə·mê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 3117: A dayof her purificationטָהֳרָֽהּ׃ (ṭā·ho·rāh)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person feminine singularStrong's 2893: Ceremonial purification, moral purityare complete.מְלֹ֖את (mə·lōṯ)Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 4390: To fill, be full ofJump to PreviousAbide Blood Clean Completed Consecrated Continue Enter Fulfilled Fulness Hallowed Holy Making Purification Purified Purifying Sacred Sanctuary Thirty Thirty-Three Three Touch Touched Wait
