1 | Clean or unclean? | Lev 5:2 | DAW | 163561 | ||
In OT both a woman with a flow of blood and a man with leprosy are declared "unclean". Lev 15 tells us that anyone who touches a woman at this time is also declared unclean. If someone touches a leper would they be declared unclean as well and if so where does it say so in the bible? | ||||||

DAW, In the Old Testament what was holy and set apart was contaiminated by contact with the unclean, hence the concept of ritual impurity. But in Jesus, under the New Covenant when the Holy comes into contact with the unclean, the unclean is made clean, as when Jesus touched lepers and the when the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of His garment or when Jesus used His physical touch to raise a dead child or His voice to raise Lazarus back from the dead. This is what was so shocking to the Pharisees, that the pattern of corruption was reversed. It is possible to see ourselves as the man on the road, beaten and left for dead. The Law, represented by the Old Covenant priest and levite, cannot save. In fact they avoid the man who may be dead for fear of being contaminated and made ritually impure as they are going up to the Temple in Jersualem to perform their duties. Jesus is the Good Samaritan. He is not defiled by contact with the man, but rather saves him and restores him to life. He annoints him with oil, even as the baptized are anointed with oil as they enter into Christ and share in His priestly, prophetic and kingly mission. The Samaritan pays the price of of the man's recovery and restoration to health to the innkeeper.Whenever in the Gospels Jesus touches the unclean he is not contaminated as other men are by contact with sin. Instead sin is driven out by virtue and healing grace. There are a number of ways one can look at this parable. Emmaus |
