13 Every one that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is not sprinkled with mixture, shall profane the tabernacle of the Lord, and shall perish out of Israel: because he was not sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 13. And therefore every one acting from the falsity of evil which is no longer with him a ruling motive, and not confessing his error that the Lord may purify him, renders his worship of the Lord impure and separates himself from the truth; and he can only be restored by the application of the truth, which involves the confession that of himself he is nothing but evil, and hence that he is impure both as to understanding and will.
