And he that (d) burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
(d) The inferior priest who killed her, and burned her.
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water,.... In forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan: this shows that one different from this is designed in Numbers 19:7; and that this is one distinct from him that sprinkled the blood, Numbers 19:4,
and bathe his flesh in water: in a like quantity, as the above Targum:
and shall be unclean until the even: and, though washed, might not go into the camp until that time: this may signify, as before, that though the crucifixion of Christ was a very great sin, and done by wicked hands, yet was pardonable through the very blood that was shed by them, Acts 2:23.
