Matthew Henry · Verses 9–14
The camp of the Lord must have nothing offensive in it. If there must be this care taken to preserve the body clean, much more should we be careful to keep the mind pure.
Deuteronomy 23:11
but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
