Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

abide: Though the Israelites had acted by the commission of God, yet they had contracted pollution by touching the dead; and the spoil having been used by idolaters, must also be purified in the prescribed manner. Numbers 5:2, Numbers 19:11-22, 1 Chronicles 22:8

Reciprocal: Genesis 22:4 - third Numbers 19:12 - third day Numbers 19:16 - toucheth Numbers 19:19 - on the seventh day he Joshua 6:23 - left them

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And do ye abide without the camp seven days..... Which was the time that anyone that touched a dead body remained unclean,

Numbers 19:11,

whosoever hath killed any person; as most of them if not all must have done; all the males of Midian that fell into their hands being slain by them, that were men grown:

and whosoever hath touched any slain; as they must to strip them of their garments, and take their spoil from them:

purify both yourselves and your captives, on the third and on the seventh day; which were the days appointed for the purification of such that were polluted by touching dead bodies, Numbers 19:11 and their captives, which were the female little ones; (for as for the women, and males among the little ones, they were ordered to be slain;) though they were Heathens, yet inasmuch as they were to be for the service of the Israelites, and to be brought up in their religion, they were to be purified also; to which purpose is the note of Jarchi;

"not that the Gentiles receive uncleanness and need sprinkling, but as ye are the children of the covenant, so your captives, when they come into the covenant, and are defiled, need sprinkling.''
