John Wesley (1703–1791) · 18th-century historical commentary

His trespass - offering - But how comes confession and a sacrifice to be necessary for him that touched an unclean thing, when such persons were cleansed with simple washing, as appears from Lev 11:25, Lev 11:28, Lev 11:32, Lev 11:40, Lev 11:43, and Num 19:7-8, Num 19:10, Num 19:19? This place speaks of him that being so unclean did come into the tabernacle, as may be gathered by comparing this place with Num 19:13, which if any man did, knowing himself to be unclean, which was the case there, he was to be cut off for it; and if he did it ignorantly, which is the case here, he was upon discovery of it to offer this sacrifice. Leviticus 5:7
