Numbers 19:19 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 19:19

And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean
The clean priest shall sprinkle upon the unclean man, as the Targum of Jonathan; that is, he shall sprinkle the water of purification upon him that is unclean in any of the above ways:

on the third day, and on the seventh day; (See Gill on Numbers 19:12),

and on the seventh day he shall purify himself;
either the unclean person, who shall perfect his purification, as Jarchi interprets it, that is, by doing what follows; or else the clean person, who becomes in some measure unclean, by sprinkling and touching the water of separation, as appears from ( Numbers 19:21 ) as the priest that sprinkled the blood of the heifer, and the man that burnt it and gathered its ashes, ( Numbers 19:7-9 )

and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at
even;
in like manner as the man that let go the goat into the wilderness, ( Leviticus 16:26 ) .

Numbers 19:19 In-Context

17 tollent de cineribus conbustionis atque peccati et mittent aquas vivas super eos in vas

18 in quibus cum homo mundus tinxerit hysopum asperget eo omne tentorium et cunctam supellectilem et homines huiuscemodi contagione pollutos

19 atque hoc modo mundus lustrabit inmundum tertio et septimo die expiatusque die septimo lavabit et se et vestimenta sua et mundus erit ad vesperam

20 si quis hoc ritu non fuerit expiatus peribit anima illius de medio ecclesiae quia sanctuarium Domini polluit et non est aqua lustrationis aspersus

21 erit hoc praeceptum legitimum sempiternum ipse quoque qui aspergit aquas lavabit vestimenta sua omnis qui tetigerit aquas expiationis inmundus erit usque ad vesperam
