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] |
If any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration--Cases of sudden death might occur to make him contract pollution; and in such circumstances he was required, after shaving his head, to make the prescribed offerings necessary for the removal of ceremonial defilement (Lev 15:13; Num 19:11). But by the terms of this law an accidental defilement vitiated the whole of his previous observances, and he was required to begin the period of his Nazaritism afresh. But even this full completion did not supersede the necessity of a sin offering at the close. Sin mingles with our best and holiest performances, and the blood of sprinkling is necessary to procure acceptance to us and our services. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
He shall shave his head - Because his whole body, and especially his hair was defiled by such an accident, which he ought to impute either to his own heedlessness, or to God's providence so ordering the matter, possibly for the punishment of his other sins, or for the quickening him to more purity and detestation of all dead works, whereby he would be defiled. |
11 He that toucheth [05060] the dead [04191] body [05315] of any man [0120] shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117].
13 And when he that hath an issue [02100] is cleansed [02891] of his issue [02101]; then he shall number [05608] to himself seven [07651] days [03117] for his cleansing [02893], and wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in running [02416] water [04325], and shall be clean [02891].
