Numbers19:17

17 And for an unclean person, they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel .

(i. e.) Waters flowing from a spring or River, which are the purest. These manifestly signifie Gods Spirit, which is oft compared to water, Ioh. 7. 38, 39. and by which alone true purification is obtained.

Where they were to be mixed, and then the water was to be strained out and kept for this use.

Marginal references: Heb. dust.; Heb. the burning.; Heb. living water shall be given.
