/` i// LEVITICUS XI. 5 1 34 Maimony,m Celim.c.13. f:1.2. break it] fo in Lev.6.28. and 15.12. All v fèI that are defiled, ate made cleane again by water , except veffels of earth, and ofglaffè. O fthe earthen vefr/l it H faid, andye f al[ break it (Leek. 11. 33.) and it is not cleanfed, but by breakeg.Maim.inMikvaotb,c. t. G3. This feemetti to be in rcfpeEt of the vilenelfe of earthen veffels, more then of wood or of metall;fo that the Joffe was not great, though they were broken. For o- therwife, the Hebrew Do &ors Gay, that vef els alto ofwoad, and ofskis, and ofbone, and of'small, when they are broken are eleanfed from their ten lemmeffe ; Maim. InCetit'1, c.12. Ci. Of this point Chazkuni here faith , An earthen vef ell it not defiled, but by the aire.of it , and the reafon it , fir at mach at it cannot be delisted, but x to he broken; the Lam it fparing fromhaving it marred , fo that it isnot defiled on the ontftde at it is written , and every open velll, which bath no covering bound upon it , it undeane ,Numb, 19. r 5. Loe, if it have a covering bound upon it , it is cleane , for it is not defiled on the confide of it. As waters fignified the blood and fpirit of Chrilt, wherewith we are fan - Etified,Ezek.36.25. Heb.9.i3,i4. and ro.zz. fo the breakoag of the veil-ell fignified the abolifhing offinne and uncleanneffe,by death. We are com- pared to earthen ve ffilr,2 Cor.4.7. and the breaking of fuch is death,Jerem. i 9.11, and 48.38. See the notes on Levit. 15.12. Ver. 34. Ofall meat which may be eaten] Hebrew, which !hall be eaten, that is , Which sefnally is eaten of men. The Greeke tranflateth , And all meat zrbkh is eaten. on which water commeth] This is under- ftood by fome,of fetch water as whereinto an un- clean thing was put to cleanfe the fame,mentio-. ned before in verf 32. that that water defileth all meats. But the Hebrews underhand it of all water generally, which when it commeth upon any thing that is mans meat, it maketh the meat apt to receive uncleannefe, by fisch things as are before mentioned: whereas unleffe water came upon it, it received no uncleannelfe by the touch of any unclean thing; according to that which followed' in veri 37, 38. where fuwing feed is not defiled by any carkaffe, unleffe water be psis upon the feed. So Ianhi explaineth it, Hence wee learn (faith he) that meat is not apt, andprepmed to receive wse!eanneffè until, water came upon it ; but after wa- ter is once tome upon it , it receiveth unele nmek for ever, though it bee df ataine. And wine and oft, and whasfoeeer is calledMafhkeh (drink or liquor) ma- lFthfeeds apt to take uncleasmr f , as water cloth. The like is holden by others òf them and they give tiefe rules; All meat that it proper y mans meat, at bread, and fief', and grapes, and olives, and the lik,, receiveth unleannefè; and whotfoever is not properly mans meat, it demo , and receives; not uncleannek, nnlef there be an intent c neerning it and it be de- termined to be mans meat. And both the one and the other receiveth uso sm leatmegi, until! it be mixed ferfl with one of the fivers liquors : as it i1 faid , But if water be put upon the fled, Levit. ít.38. The fven' liquors that makemeats apt for uvcleantef , are thf ; water, and draw, and yte, and wine, and milk, and bllood, and hooey. And they ma1Lc not (meats) apt (fir smdeamtef) until! they fall upon the meats by the owners mill ; and are not putrified : fir liquor that it putrifted, ma/Zeth not apt (fir uro.eann'e.) And when meat is made apt (to receive unekann jje,) although it be waxen dry again, yet it receizeth tenclearneffè. Meat that is mixed with water r fruits, at with mater ofMu/ber- ries, or of Pomgranets, alhough it be mixed, and one that bath a ranting Iffue , or if the fkfb of the dead doe touch it : yet it is clean , beeaufe it war not made apt (to sake undeanne fè) by one of the fegen liquors. There it not any liquor that receiveth umdeannef fave oney the fe- ven liquorsforementioned ; but other water offimits , ar tb y ma/e not apt, fo neither receive they unckannek at all. Some things receive no uncleantnff c though they be eaten by men; betau fe shy are not eaten ,fave to give re- lifb unto meats, or fir odour, or fir fight; as f iees,ginger, pepper, and all fueh like. AR meats that grow out of the getntd, receive no unclearmeftè till they be ploeeh d tip but fo keg ar th y flkkin the ground though it be but by a little root, whereby they may live, dug receive no smckaineffe. All meats that are ofliving things, receive ro unelemmeffè , untill they le dead : fa fione a a beaff or f wle is idled , thy may receiveuncleamtef f. Fifties alfa receive uncleamme f f when tiny y are dead. All meat that it corrupt and petrified , fi that it is not fit fir mans meat, receives' no rmekannef e. So Itgrtor pratrifeed,n cl corrupt, that it is not fit for man to drink, reeeiveth no unclean - nea. Maim. in Trimath. Odin (or `Um/ex/m. of meats) c. r. and 2. all drink] or, all liquor. This generali, the Hebrews refiraine to (even particu- lars forementioned; water, dew, wine, ogle, min' e, blood, and bony, and fitch things as are of their kind. Which nittft be judicioufly weighed ; for they had many traditions, which agreed not with the lawes of God, Marke 7.3,4. -13. More- over they fay concerning thefts things,Whatfever is written iii the Law , touching things rate /carte and cleane , it eoncerneth not ought fave the fàntluary and the lobs things thereof and the Heave-1 rings i ergs and the ficond tithe rarely: For loe the tmdeane are warned not to come into the Sanituay or to eat of the holy thing or of the Heave- offring, or of the tithe, inuncleatmefJe: (Levi[.' 12.4. and 15. 3 i. Nam. 19. 13,2o. Levit.7. 20, á s.Nunt. i 8.11,13.) But of ommon things, there is no prohibition at all ; but it is lawful to eat common things that are unclean, and to drink liquors that are un- ckane. Loe it rt f id in the Law, and the firth that sou ehetb any unclean thing fball not be eaten , Levit. 7. 19. Wherefore common things are lawful[, for bee fpea- keth not five of the fief' of the holy things, And fo it it lawfull fir a man to tough all unleane things , and to defile bimf lfe by them : fir ke , the Scripture warned.) the fns fAaron , and the Nazarite , not to defile them - flies by the dead, (Lev.21, 1. Num.6. 6.) intimating that all the people may.

And this whichis laid in the Law, T heir carkafe( hall ye not touch (Lev. 1 r . 8.) it meant at the f krone fa fl oney : but fir other dales oftbeyeare , hoe is not forbidden.
