Numbers 19:8 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 19:8

And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water
In forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan: this shows that one different from this is designed in ( Numbers 19:7 ) ; and that this is one distinct from him that sprinkled the blood, ( Numbers 19:4 Numbers 19:5 ) ;

and bathe his flesh in water:
in a like quantity, as the above Targum:

and shall be unclean until the even:
and, though washed, might not go into the camp until that time: this may signify, as before, that though the crucifixion of Christ was a very great sin, and done by wicked hands, yet was pardonable through the very blood that was shed by them, ( Acts 2:23 Acts 2:36 Acts 2:38 Acts 2:41 ) .

Numbers 19:8 In-Context

6 The priest is to take some cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer.

7 After that, the priest must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water. He may then come into the camp, but he will be ceremonially unclean till evening.

8 The man who burns it must also wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he too will be unclean till evening.

9 “A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and put them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelite community for use in the water of cleansing; it is for purification from sin.

10 The man who gathers up the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he too will be unclean till evening. This will be a lasting ordinance both for the Israelites and for the foreigners residing among them.
