And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcass of
them
That carries them from one place to another, out of the camp,
city, village, or house or field where they may lie; and though
this is done with a good design, as being offensive or
infectious, yet such an one
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the
even;
from whence both Jarchi and Aben Ezra infer, that the pollution
by hearing or carrying is greater than that by touching; since
such a man, so defiled, was obliged to wash his clothes as well
as his body; so saints, that have contracted pollution by any
manner of sin, are to wash their garments and make them white in
the blood of the Lamb, ( Revelation
7:14 ) .
