Context of Leviticus 15:2
1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath an issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3And 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. 4Every bed whereon he that hath the issue lieth shall be unclean; and everything whereon he sitteth shall be unclean.
