Listen to Numeri 19:18
18 Poi pigli un uomo che sia netto, dell’isopo, e intingalo in quell’acqua, e spruzzine quel padiglione, e tutti que’ vaselli, e tutte le persone che vi saranno dentro; spruzzine parimente colui che avrà tocco l’osso, o l’uomo ucciso, o l’uomo morto da sè, o la sepoltura.

Numeri 19:18 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 19:18

And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water,
&c.] Three stalks of hyssop bound together, as the Targum of Jonathan, and this man was to be a clean priest, according to the same; but it does not seem necessary that he should be a priest, but that anyone free from ceremonial pollution might do it:

and sprinkle it upon the tent;
where there was a dead body: but this, we are told, is to be understood not of a tent made of wood, or stone, or clay, but made of anything woven, as linen: or of skins F21:

and upon all the vessels;
in such a tent, that is, open ones, as before observed:

and upon the persons that were there:
when the man died in it, or came into it since, and while the dead body was in it;

and upon him that touched a bone;
of a dead man, or, as the Targum of Jonathan, the bone of a living man that is separated from him:

or one slain, or one dead;
slain with a sword, or dead of the pestilence, as the same Targum, or of any other disease, or in any other way:

or a grave;
or the covering or side of one, as the same Targum adds.

Numeri 19:18 In-Context

16 E chiunque per li campi avrà tocco alcuno ucciso con la spada, o un uomo morto da sè, o alcun osso d’uomo, o alcuna sepoltura, sia immondo per sette giorni.
17 E per l’immondo prendasi della cenere del fuoco di quel sacrificio per lo peccato, e mettavisi su dell’acqua viva in un vaso.
18 Poi pigli un uomo che sia netto, dell’isopo, e intingalo in quell’acqua, e spruzzine quel padiglione, e tutti que’ vaselli, e tutte le persone che vi saranno dentro; spruzzine parimente colui che avrà tocco l’osso, o l’uomo ucciso, o l’uomo morto da sè, o la sepoltura.
19 Quell’uomo netto adunque spruzzi l’immondo, al terzo e al settimo giorno; e, avendolo purificato al settimo giorno, lavi colui i suoi vestimenti, e sè stesso, con acqua; e sarà netto la sera.
20 Ma, se alcuno, essendo immondo, non si purifica, sia quella persona ricisa di mezzo la raunanza; conciossiachè abbia contaminato il Santuario del Signore; l’acqua di purificazione non è stata sparsa sopra lui; egli è immondo.
