Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(38) But if any water be put upon the seed.--The case, however, is different when the grain is moistened, because the fluid softens the corn, and thus enables the defilement of the carcase to penetrate into its very fibres. The wet corn therefore is regarded in the same light as porous clay vessels which become saturated with defilement, and must be broken. (Comp. Leviticus 6:28.) By water, according to the rule which obtained during the second Temple, the seven liquids mentioned in Leviticus 11:34 are meant.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewbut ifוְכִ֤י (wə·ḵî)Conjunctive waw | ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionwaterמַ֙יִם֙ (ma·yim)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 4325: Water, juice, urine, semenhas been putיֻתַּן־ (yut·tan-)Verb - QalPass - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5414: To give, put, setonעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe seedזֶ֔רַע (ze·ra‘)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2233: Seed, fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterityand a carcassמִנִּבְלָתָ֖ם (min·niḇ·lā·ṯām)Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5038: A flabby thing, a carcase, carrion, an idolfallsוְנָפַ֥ל (wə·nā·p̄al)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5307: To fall, lieon it,עָלָ֑יו (‘ā·lāw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstitה֖וּא (hū)Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, areis uncleanטָמֵ֥א (ṭā·mê)Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 2931: Uncleanfor you.לָכֶֽם׃ (lā·ḵem)Preposition | second person masculine pluralStrong's Hebrew Jump to PreviousAught Body Carcase Carcass Dead Fall Fallen Falls Gets Part Seed Thereon Unclean
