* By the English translation of this verse it appears, that, if he purify himself on the third day, only, he becomes clean on the seventh day without any further purification, wbich is contrary to the meaning of the text ; for, he must purify himself again on the seventh day, as is plainly expressed in verse 19.

This means, if he entereth into it being unclean. # The preceding verse treats of becoming defiled by touching the dead, although in the open air, but this refers to being under the same roof with the dead, although, he has not touched it. 42

• This should be rendered the whole, and not every; for, there is but one heave-offering that the Levite is obliged to give. $ It would be a hard task for him, if he were obliged to eat it in every place.

This word pollute is wrong; for, that means for an unclean person to eat it, though a priest ; and is expressed by another verb in Hebrew, and is forbidden elsewhere; but the verb here used signifieth to profane, meaning to suffer any one to eat it except be be a priest, which will be prevented by giving it directly to the priest.

| This ordinance, in regard to the order of events, properly comes in after ver. 4, in chap. v. as far as I can judge.

This means that she shall be all over perfectly red, without a spot of any other cutour. ** This service was performed without the camp, so that it was not pussible to sprinkle it directly before the tabernacle, as the English translator renders it.
