Lamentations 4:15
Samech
_ _ They ... them — “They,” that is, “men” (Lamentations 4:14). Even the very Gentiles, regarded as unclean by the Jews, who were ordered most religiously to avoid all defilements, cried unto the latter, “depart,” as being unclean: so universal was the defilement of the city by blood.
_ _ wandered — As the false prophets and their followers had “wandered” blind with infatuated and idolatrous crime in the city (Lamentations 4:14), so they must now “wander” among the heathen in blind consternation with calamity.
_ _ they said — that is, the Gentiles said: it was said among the heathen, “The Jews shall no more sojourn in their own land” [Grotius]; or, wheresoever they go in their wandering exile, “they shall not stay long” [Ludovicus De Dieu], (Deuteronomy 28:65). |
Lamentations 4:15
Touch not — The Jews that made conscience of keeping the law against touching dead bodies, cried to the other Jews to leave the city as themselves did, the city being now so full of dead bodies that they could not stay in it without polluting themselves. |
