Leviticus 15 presents laws on impurities caused by both masculine and female body flows. The chapter deals with how people suffering from these flows should purify themselves so they can approach God again. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Leviticus 15:
Leviticus 15:31: "Thus you will keep the Israelites separate from what contaminates them and will not die because of their impurity, contaminating my sanctuary that is in their midst." This verse shows that purification is necessary for people to approach God and remain in a state of purity.
Matthew 9:20-22: "Suddenly, a woman who had bleeding for twelve years ago arrived behind him and touched the edge of the cloak of Jesus, for he thought to himself: 'If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed . ' Jesus turned and, seeing her, said, 'Courage, daughter! Her faith healed her.' And the woman was healed at that very moment. " This verse presents a healing story, where the woman who suffered from blood flow is healed by faith in Jesus.
Mark 5:25-29: "Now a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years and had borne a lot on many doctors and spent everything she had, but instead of improving, worsened, having heard of Jesus, came for Back, between the crowd, and touched his cloak. For he thought, 'If I only touch your clothes, I will be healed.' At the same moment her bleeding ceased, and she felt in her body that she was healed from the disease. " This verse presents a similar story to the previous one, where another woman is healed of her blood flow through faith in Jesus.
Hebrews 9:14: "The more the blood of Christ, which by the eternal Spirit has offered himself immaculate to God, will purify our conscience of deeds that lead to death, that we may serve to the living God!" This verse highlights the purification made by the sacrifice of Christ, which is superior to the purification made by the rituals described in Leviticus.
1 John 1:7: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin." This verse highlights the purification that comes through the blood of Jesus, which is capable of purifying all sin, including impurities caused by body flows.
