Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Leviticus 15:2
Ver. 2. Issue of seed, shall be unclean. These legal uncleannesses were instituted in order to give the people a horror of carnal impurities. Ch. --- If the gonorrhœa, and the lawful act of marriage, (v. 16,) and nocturnal delusions, (Deut. xxiii. 10,) induce a kind of uncleanness---surely to imitate Onan is most detestable, Gen. xxviii. 9. T. --- The Jews rank the latter crime with murder, and so does Tertullian. See Ex. xxi. 22.
↑ 2Leviticus 15:3
Ver. 3. At every moment, is not in Heb., but something like it occurs in the Sam.
and Sept.
According to the Heb. the uncleanness subsists for some time after the issue has ceased. Grotius pretends that these disorders were contagious; but the reason why God requires such purity in his people, is given v. 31. He dwelt among them, and would not allow of any disrespectful behaviour. There were to live like priests in his temple. The pagans in Egypt, Greece, and Italy, required the like attention to cleanliness in their priests. Herod. ii. --- Noctem flumine purgas.
Persius ii. C.
↑ 3Leviticus 15:11
Ver. 11. Such a one; the person under the disorder, unless he have washed his hands.
↑ 11Leviticus 15:12
Ver. 12. Broken, after he is perfectly healed. C.
↑ 12Leviticus 15:15
Ver. 15. Offer, (faciet) "shall sacrifice." D. --- For sin. Legal, or any other that he may have incurred.
↑ 15Leviticus 15:16
Ver. 16. Evening, whether the action were lawful or not. M. --- Some explain this verse, of nocturnal inconveniences; and v. 18, of the act of marriage. The latter rendered unclean only in as much as it hindered a person from partaking of any thing sacred, though he might perform the duties of life. C. --- This law was to lay some restraint on the too frequent use of marriage.
Theodoret. D.
↑ 16Leviticus 15:19
Ver. 19. At...month. The Heb. and other versions omit this. C. --- But " her issue in her flesh, "
implies as much. H. --- Naturalists anciently deemed this very contagious.
Solin c. i. Plin. ix.
15. C. --- Days, not out of the camp, but from the company of men.
↑ 19Leviticus 15:20
Ver. 20. One, except infants, &c.
↑ 20Leviticus 15:24
Ver. 24. Days, supposing the case was not brought before the judge, and the man did it through ignorance: otherwise it was death. C. xx. 18.
↑ 24Leviticus 15:25
Ver. 25. Blood, hæmorrhoids. M. --- Flowers. Heb. "all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation. She shall be unclean."
↑ 25Leviticus 15:28
Ver. 28. Run. Then she might act as usual, without defiling what she touched. It seems from v.
13, that this law regarded only the time while the tabernacle was in the camp. It would have been very difficult to observe it, when the people were dispersed throughout the land of Chanaan. C.
↑ 28Leviticus 15:31
Ver. 31. Teach. So the Sept. also read. Heb. "Thus you shall remove...from their filth." Houbig.
--- Filth. God threatens to kill them, if they approach unclean. M. --- S. Jerom (in Gal. v.) understands this of those abominable sins, which ought not to be mentioned. W.
