John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Numbers 8:7

Of purifying — Heb. of sin, that is, for the expiation of sin. This water was mixed with the ashes of a red heifer, Numbers 19:9, which therefore may seem to have been prescribed before, though it be mentioned after; such kind of transplacings of passages being frequent in scripture. Shave all their flesh — This external rite signified the cutting off their inordinate desire of earthly things and that singular purity of heart and life which is required in the ministers of God.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Numbers 8:7

And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle (c) water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.

(c) In Hebrew it is called the water of sin, because it is made to purge sin, as in (Numbers 19:9).
