Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| On the other hand, a legally "unclean" person imparts his uncleanness to any thing, whereas a legally holy thing cannot confer its sanctity on an "unclean" person (Num 19:11, Num 19:13, Num 19:22). Legal sanctity is not so readily communicated as legal impurity. So the paths to sin are manifold: the paths to holiness one, and that one of difficult access [GROTIUS]. One drop of filth will defile a vase of water: many drops of water will not purity a vase of filth [MOORE]. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Said - Now the second case is proposed. These - Bread or pottage, wine or oil, or meat. Unclean - Shall that which the unclean doth touch, become unclean? Though a mediate touch of what is holy will not make holy, yet will not a mediate touch of what is polluted defile? |
22 And whatsoever the unclean [02931] person toucheth [05060] shall be unclean [02930]; and the soul [05315] that toucheth [05060] it shall be unclean [02930] until even [06153].
13 Whosoever toucheth [05060] the dead [04191] body [05315] of any man [0120] that is dead [04191], and purifieth [02398] not himself, defileth [02930] the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068]; and that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from Israel [03478]: because the water [04325] of separation [05079] was not sprinkled [02236] upon him, he shall be unclean [02931]; his uncleanness [02932] is yet upon him.
11 He that toucheth [05060] the dead [04191] body [05315] of any man [0120] shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117].
