John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Numbers 19:9

For a water — Or, to the water, that is, to be put to the water, or mixed with it. Of separation — Appointed for the cleansing of them that are in a state of separation, who for their uncleanness are separated from the congregation. It is a purification for sin — Heb. a sin, that is, an offering for sin, or rather a mean for expiation or cleansing of sin. And this was a type of that purification for sin, which our Lord Jesus made by his death.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Numbers 19:9

And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a (e) water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin.

(e) Or, the water of separation because they that were separate due to their uncleanness, were sprinkled with it and made clean, (Numbers 8:7). It is also called holy water, because it was ordained for a holy use, (Numbers 1:17).
