And whosoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
All Commentaries on Leviticus 15:5 Go To Leviticus 15
John of Damascus
AD 749
For from the beginning “the spirit of God moved over the waters,” and over and again Scripture testifies to the fact that water is purifying. It was with water that God washed away the sin of the world in the time of Noah. It was with water that every one who was unclean was purified in accordance with the law, and even their garments were washed with water.
