Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 16, 17. - The second case of an issue (cf. chapter Leviticus 22:4; Deuteronomy 23:10; Genesis 38:9, 10).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) And if any man's seed.--The second case, discussed in this and the following verses, is that of an involuntary emission, as in Deuteronomy 23:10. The man who sustained it had simply to immerse his whole body in water the following morning, and remain unclean till sundown. Similar rites were performed by the ancients under the same circumstances. Thus the Egyptian priests when they were defiled by a dream purified themselves by bathing their bodies; and, according to the directions of the Koran, any faithful Mahommedan who meets with such an accident must not perform his prayers till he has gone through the prescribed oblation. (Koran, 4:46.)
