Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
15:19-23 There is nothing wrong or diseased about a woman’s menstrual period. However, because it is accompanied by a bloody discharge, the woman was considered ceremonially unclean (see 15:32-33). The restrictions were similar to the restrictions on the man with the bodily discharge (15:2-12): She was allowed to live at home, but whatever she sat on became unclean. Anyone who touched her had to wash, and presumably she also did so at the end of the seven-day quarantine. However, no animal sacrifice was required.
