VERSE 1
- Aaron.
   * Le 11:1; 13:1 Ps 25:14 Am 3:7 Heb 1:1

   * De 4:7,8 Ne 9:13,14 Ps 78:5; 147:19,20 Ro 3:2
- when any man.
  It is not necessary to consider particularly the laws
  contained in this chapter, the letter of the text being in
  general sufficiently plain.  It may, however, be observed,
  that from the pains which persons rendered unclean were
  obliged to take, the ablutions and separations which they
  must observe, and the privations to which they must in
  consequence be exposed, in the way of commerce, traffic,
  etc., these laws were admirably adapted to prevent contagion
  of every kind, by keeping the whole from the diseased, and to
  hinder lascivious indulgences and excesses of every
  description.

   * Le 22:4 Nu 5:2 2Sa 3:29 Mt 9:20 Mr 5:25; 7:20-23 Lu 8:43
- running issue.  or, running of the reins.

    * Le 12:3 Eze 16:26; 23:20

   * Jude 1:4


VERSE 9 
 - saddle.
  The word {merchav,} from {rachav,} to ride, here rendered by
  our translators saddle, and frequently chariot.  Mr. Harmer
  thinks rather means a litter, or {coune,} of which we have
  already given a description in Ge 31:34.

   * Ge 31:34


VERSE 10 
 - See on ver.
   * :5,8 Ps 26:6 Jas 8 4:8


VERSE 11 
 - whomsoever.
  It is rather doubtful whether the words hath not rinsed his
  hands in water refer to him who was diseased, or to him who
  had his hands touched.  Most understand it of the former,
  that if the person who had the issue rinsed his hands in
  water, just before he touched any one, he did not communicate
  any pollution; otherwise, he did.  But the Syriac refers it
  to the person touched by him, though it seems strange that he
  should be cleansed by washing his hands, when perhaps some
  other part was touched.

    * :5; 22:4 De 23:10,11 2Co 7:1 1Pe 2:11 1Jo 1:7


VERSE 17 
 - skin.
  The poorer class of Arabs of our times make use of mats in
  their tents; and other inhabitants of these countries, who
  affect ancient simplicity of manners, make use of goat-skins.
  Dr. R.  Chandler, in his Travels in Greece, tells us, that he
  saw some dervishes at Athens sitting on goat-skins; and that
  he was afterwards conducted into a room furnished in like
  manner, with the same kind of carpeting, where he was treated
  with a pipe and coffee by the chief dervish.  Those that are
  at all acquainted with Oriental manners, in these later
  times, know that their dervishes (who are a sort of
  Mohammedan devotees, a good deal resembling the begging
  friars of the church or Rome) affect great simplicity, and
  even sometimes austerity, in their dress and way of living.
  As these dervishes that Dr. Chandler visited sat on
  goat-skins, and used no other kind of carpet for the
  accommodation of those who visited them:  so it should seem
  that the Israelites in the wilderness made use of skins for
  mattresses to lie upon, and consequently, we may equally
  suppose to sit upon in the day time, instead of a carpet.

   * 1Co 3:17
  These laws were principally intended to impress the minds of
  the Israelites with reverence for the sanctuary; and, on the
  one hand, to shew them what need they had of circumspection,
  and purity of heart and life, in order to worship the holy
  God with acceptance; and, on the other hand, that being
  sinners in a world full of temptations and defilements, they
  would continually need forgiveness, through the great
  atonement typified by all the sacrifices, and the
  sanctification of the Spirit, showed forth by all the
  purifications.  While they were encamped in the desert, it
  would not be very burdensome to bring the prescribed
  oblations; but after they were settled in Canaan, many of
  them at a great distance from the tabernacle, this would
  become much more difficult.  We may, however, observe,
  continues Mr. Scott, that many of the cases stated only
  required such washings as might any where be performed, and
  that those, respecting which sacrifices were appointed, would
  more rarely occur.  We may also suppose, that provided these
  were brought, when the person who had been unclean first came
  to the sanctuary, it would suffice: though distance or other
  hindrances prevented its being done immediately, at the
  expiration of the seven days.
