Numbers 19:21
_ _ he that sprinkleth ... ; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even — The opposite effects ascribed to the water of separation — of cleansing one person and defiling another — are very singular, and not capable of very satisfactory explanation. One important lesson, however, was thus taught, that its purifying efficacy was not inherent in itself, but arose from the divine appointment, as in other ordinances of religion, which are effectual means of salvation, not from any virtue in them, or in him that administers them, but solely through the grace of God communicated thereby. |
Numbers 19:21
Shall wash his clothes — Because he is unclean. It is strange, that the same water should cleanse one person, and defile another. But God would have it so, to teach us that it did not cleanse by any virtue in itself, or in the work done, but only by virtue of God's appointment: to mind the laws of the imperfection of their priesthood, and their ritual purifications and expiations, and consequently of the necessity of a better priest and sacrifice and way of purifying; and to shew that the efficacy of God's ordinances doth not depend upon the person or quality of his ministers, because the same person who, was polluted himself could and did cleanse others. He that toucheth the water — Either by sprinkling of it, or by being sprinkled with it; for even he that was cleansed by it, was not fully cleansed as soon as he was sprinkled, but only at the even of that day. |
Leviticus 11:25 And whosoever beareth [ ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Leviticus 11:40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Leviticus 16:26- 28 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. ... And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [ did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Hebrews 9:10 [ Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [ on them] until the time of reformation.
Hebrews 9:13- 14 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: ... How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 10:4 For [ it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
