Sol.larchi here faith, That which was in the Chef/ (or Fort) was put there for a ref rvation, according, to that fore-noted out of Maimany. But this may be underftood of all the afhes, (and not of a third part oneyy) which was kept for the Life of Ifrael, as after followeth. for ehe,on- gregation] Hence the Hebrews fay, that all Ifrae- lites were fit to kespe it.

This appcareth by v,13. where it is laid, becattfe the water of feparation was not fprinkled upon him. The Hebr. Nidda;, which properly fignilieth a feparation or removall for uncleanneffe, is form- time figuratively aped for uveleamefé it felf,which is to be done away; as in 2 Chro.29.5. Ezra 9.11. Whereupon the water which cleanfeth it, is cal- led the water offeparation; which the Greeke and Chaldee verhon call water of fprinitling, becaufe it was fprinkled on the uncleane to purifie him ; v. 18, 9.According to which phralè,Chrifts blood is called the blood of fprinkling, Heb. 12.24. becaufe it purifieth the eotsficnce , and was figured by this aprinkling water,Hcb.9.13,14., a purification for fin] Hebr. afin : which word as it is often si- red for a Sin- offering, or facrifice that expiateth fin, as in Levit. 4. 3, &c. fo here it is the name of that water which purified fin, as after is manife- Pied in v.12, &c. Wherfore the Greek tranflateth, it is a fanllification, or apurification. And there two names here given to this water,the Prophet u- feth, when he forctelleth the grace of Chrift; In :ha t,dsy there fall be a fontaine opened to the houfe of David , and to the inhabitants of Jerufalem,fir Sinne , and for Separation y Zacharie 13. r, that is , for a purification for finne, and for a ma- ter of reparation for uncleauneffe, which the Greeke there interpreteth , for a removall away, and for a fprinkling.

(hall wafh] as when any blood of the Sin-offring was fprinkled ona garmeta,itwas to be wafhed,Lev. 6.27. fo here he that gathered up allies was to wafh his cloathes,for it could not be but fonte of the allies would light upon them.See the notes on v. 7. the f ranger that f journeth] is Greeke, the Profelytes that are adjoined. V,erf, 11. of any fuleofman] that is, of any dead man, or any corpfe of man '. thefoukis here ufed for the dead body , as is noted on Levit, 19.26, and Num. 6.6. and this is an explanation of the former dead, that it is meant of man only: for he that touched a dead beaft, was not uncleane fever daies,but one day only,Lev.t 1.24,27.39. neither was he to be fprinkled with thefe a(hes.

Of this legall pollution, the Hebrews have there fayings; A dead perfon defileth by touching, and by bearing, and by the Tent, with feven dales unclean - neffe. The uneleatne by touching, and- by the Tent, are expreffielin the Law, Num. 19. I I,14.

And as a dead beaft which by touching defiler; till evening, defileth alfa till evening by bearing; fo a deadman which by touching defileth feven dates, defileth alfa feven daier by 'bearing.
