Lévitique 11:25 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:25

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 ) .

25 et quiconque portera leurs corps morts lavera ses vêtements et sera impur jusqu'au soir.
26 Vous regarderez comme impur tout animal qui a la corne fendue, mais qui n'a pas le pied fourchu et qui ne rumine pas: quiconque le touchera sera impur.
