This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lev_15:18 The woman also with whom man shall lie [with] seed of copulation, they shall [both] bathe [themselves] in water, and be unclean until the even.
Ver. 18. With seed of copulation.] Though lawful in itself, as being the ordinance of God. {Gen_2:24} Sin is like copperas, {a} which will turn wine or milk into ink; or leaven, which turns a very passover into pollution.
{a} A name given from early times to the protosulphates of copper, iron, and zinc (distinguished as blue, green, and white copperas respectively); etymologically it belonged properly to the copper salt; but in English use, when undistinguished by attribute or context, it has always been most commonly, and is now exclusively, applied to green copperas, the proto-sulphate of iron or ferrous sulphate (Fe Son_4:1-16), also called green vitriol, used in dyeing, tanning, and making ink.
