Leviticus Chapter Fifteen

 

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.

3 And 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.

4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.

5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.

10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:

15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.

16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.

17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.

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.

19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.

21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.

24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.

26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.

27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the Lord for the issue of her uncleanness.

31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;

33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

 

 

Esoteric Interpretation & Commentary

 

The Hermetic Blueprint of Leviticus Chapter Fifteen: The Containment of the Life Force and the Sealing of the Aura 

"Leviticus Chapter Fifteen addresses the profound Esoteric mechanics of Energetic containment. The bodily discharges represent the leaking, wasting, or shedding of Pure Creative Vitality—both Active and Receptive. The Sovereign Will Demands that the Initiate rigorously seal the Microcosm, preventing the uncontrolled loss of Spiritual Energy, ensuring the Inner Temple remains a fully charged vessel for the Superconscious Light."

 

 

*Verses 1-12: The Abnormal Issue and the Loss of Willpower - "And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean... And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even..." 

The man with an abnormal issue symbolizes a severe dysfunction within the Active, masculine Intellectual Faculties. It represents the chronic, uncontrolled leaking of creative Energy, Willpower, and generative Vitality through wasted Thoughts, obsessive Mental loops, or unguarded Action. Because this Pure Energy is spilling out unproductively, it renders the entire Microcosm unclean. Anyone or anything that touches his bed or where he sits becomes contaminated, demonstrating that a Mind leaking uncontrolled Vibrational Energy pollutes its own environment and drastically lowers the Spiritual frequency of every Faculty it interacts with.

 

 

*Verses 13-15: The Purification of the Active Mind - "And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD... and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering..." 

Once the uncontrolled leakage of Willpower is halted, the Initiate must undergo a Seven-Day Cycle of Alchemical grounding, washing the Conscious Mind in "running water" (the Active, Flowing Current of Spiritual Truth). On the Eighth Day—the cycle of new beginnings—the Seeker presents the fowls for Transmutation. The sin offering clears the Karmic residue of the wasted Energy, while the burnt offering Realigns the renewed Active Intellect directly with the Superconscious Source. The Inner Temple is thus resealed and recharged.

 

 

*Verses 16-18: The Intentional Emission and the Need for Rest - "And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even... 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." 

The normal emission of seed represents the intentional, healthy expenditure of creative Vitality to generate new Ideas or manifest Action upon the material plane. However, the Hermetic Law dictates that even a purposeful release of Pure Life force temporarily depletes the Energetic reserves of the Microcosm. The resulting uncleanness until evening is not a punishment, but a strict Alchemical mandate for rest. The Mind must retreat, wash itself in Spiritual reflection, and allow a full cycle (until the even) to pass, enabling the Psyche to replenish its Divine Light before initiating new Magical operations.

 

 

*Verses 19-24: The Natural Cleansing of the Subconscious - "And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even... And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days..." 

The woman represents the Receptive, Intuitive, and Emotional Subconscious. Her regular issue of blood symbolizes the natural, cyclical shedding of old, unfertilized Emotional material and outdated Internal impressions. This is a vital Hermetic process of self-clearing. During these Seven Days, the Intuitive Faculties are Actively Purging stale Vibrations; therefore, the Conscious Intellect must grant the Subconscious absolute separation and rest. Attempting to Force Active generation (lying with her) during this delicate clearing phase disrupts the Internal rhythm, causing severe Energetic turbulence and uncleanness for Seven Days across the entire Mind.

 

 

*Verses 25-33: The Chronic Leak of Receptive Energy and the Preservation of the Temple - "And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation... all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation... Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them." 

A chronic issue of blood outside the normal cycle represents the continuous, debilitating leak of Emotional Energy, Empathy, or Subconscious Vitality—often through chronic grief, anxiety, or unguarded emotional attachments. The Psyche is actively bleeding its Internal Life Force. Once healed, it requires the same Eighth-Day Transmutation with two fowls to restore the Energetic baseline. The chapter culminates in a Supreme Warning from the Sovereign Will: the Initiate must rigidly separate the Microcosm from all Energetic leaks. To allow the Inner Vitality to constantly drain is to entirely defile the Internal Tabernacle, extinguishing the Divine Fire and causing Spiritual death within the Inner Sanctuary.
