And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and profane, and shew them how to discern between clean and unclean.

'And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.

And they are to make clear to my people the division between what is holy and what is common, and to give them the knowledge of what is clean and what is unclean.

And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and defiled, and they shall distinguish for them between clean and unclean.

And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the profane,.... Persons and things; not in a ceremonial, nor merely in a moral, but in an evangelical sense, between truth and error; between the doctrine which is according to godliness, and that which is corrupt and unsound, and eats as cloth a canker; between holy worship, and superstition; between holy duties, and profane and Heathen rites and ceremonies; and between persons sanctified by the Spirit and grace of God, and unconverted ones:
and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean; impure persons, doctrines, and manners, and those which are agreeable to the word of God; the sense is, that they shall take pains to instruct persons in the knowledge of divine things, and shall do it truly, faithfully, and sincerely.
