Leviticus 16:28

“And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, etc.] In forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan; that is, everyone of those that burnt them, as Aben Ezra observes; for these being sin offerings, and had a connection with the sins of men, for whom they were offered, the persons concerned in the carrying and burning of them were equally defiled, and needed washing, as the man that led and let go the goat into the wilderness: and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and have the liberty of conversation with men in civil and religious things, but not till evening; so long he was defiled; and according to the Misnah f594 from the time they got without…”

“Both he who led away the goat, and he who burned the parts of the sin-offerings had to purify themselves. They who went out of the camp during a religious solemnity incurred uncleanness; hence, the need of purification. Leviticus 16:27 Shall burn in the fire - i. e., consume in the fire, not burn sacrificially. See Leviticus 1:9. return to 'Top of Page'”
