All these things had contracted some ceremonial uncleanness, either from the dead bodies which wore them, or the tents or houses where they were, in which such dead bodies lay, or from the touch of the Israelitish soldiers, who were legally defiled by the slaughters they made. <\/P> <\/p>\n And purify all your raiment<\/strong>,…. By washing them; and this may intend not so much their own wearing apparel, as the raiment they took off of the dead bodies of the Midianites, since the person that touched a dead body was not obliged to wash his clothes, but the clean person that sprinkled the water of purification on him, Nu 19:19<\/span>, some render the words, “purify yourselves” d, “together with the raiment”, c. which seems to be the best version of them:<\/p>\n and all that is made of skins<\/strong> of any sort of creatures, as the covering of tents, shoes, bottles, c. see Le 11:32<\/span><\/p>\n and all work of goats’ hair<\/strong> such as the covering of tents was also made of: and this, according to Jarchi and other Jewish writers e includes vessels made of the horns, hoofs, and bones of these creatures: and all things made of wood; as beds, cups, dishes, c. all which might be purified by washing see Le 15:12<\/span>.<\/p>\n d “purgatote vos”, Junius Tremellius, Piscator Vid.

I mention them distinctly, because this account seems to me to explain, in a clearer manner than commentators have done, (who are, indeed, in a manner silent upon the text,) the passages in Leviticus and Numbers which describe the furniture of the habitations of Israel in the wilderness. Upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; <\/em>(Lev 11:32-33<\/span>.) whether it be any vessel of wood; <\/em>their wooden bowls, that is, according to this representation of the utensils of those who live in tents, to which there is reason to believe those of the Israelites were like, who lived so many years like Arabs in the wilderness;or raiment or skin, <\/em>any trunks or baskets covered with skins, i.e. or sack, <\/em>any hair-cloth sack used for the better carrying of goods from place to place. Whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed. And every earthen vessel<\/em>the pitchers, used for holding liquids, and drinking out of, wherein any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it; shall be unclean, and ye shall break it. <\/em>We meet with much the same account of their furniture in the present passage. La Roque’s account, therefore, may serve to explain both that and the foregoing, and must be acknowledged a more natural illustration of them than that of the rabbis, who, suppose that the work of goats, <\/em>(which our translators determine to mean goat’s hair<\/em>) implies instruments made of the horns <\/em>and hoofs, <\/em>and bones <\/em>of goats; few or no instruments being to be found among those who now dwell in tents. See Ainsworth on these passages. There is the like agreeable simplicity in explaining the things made of wood, <\/em>of their wooden bowls, instead of reckoning up all the particular things which were afterwards made of wood, in the most remote sense of the word, as Maimonides has done, who introduces the mention of vessels of bulrushes, of reed, of the shell of nuts, and the bark of trees; things, which there is reason to think were not in use in these migratory families, and consequently not immediately referred to by Moses; and, if so, not coming under the observation <\/em>of a commentator, <\/em>however they may, with propriety enough, have engaged the attention of a Jewish Casuist.<\/em> <\/p>\n raiment: Num 19:14-16, Num 19:22, Gen 35:2, Exo 19:10 <\/p>\n that is made: Heb. instrument, or, vessel <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 26:7 – goats’ hair Num 8:7 – wash their Num 19:15 – General 1Ch 22:8 – Thou hast shed<\/p>\n And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ [hair], and all things made of wood. 20. all that is made of skin ] such as sandals, saddles, coverings for packages &c. work of goats ’ hair] such as tent-coverings (Exo 25:4) and bed-coverings (1Sa 19:13; 1Sa … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 31:20”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4693\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
