Gill's Notes on the Bible

The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even,.... Which is the time fixed by the several laws for such uncleannesses, see Leviticus 11:31;

and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water; in forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan; yea, when the evening is come, he may not eat of the heave or wave offerings, until he has dipped himself all over in water; nor should any eat of the Lord's supper under the New Testament, but such as are first baptized in water.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The soul - Rather, the person. Compare the use of the word “body” in the Prayer Book version of Psalms 53:1, and in the compounds “somebody, nobody”.
