Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) Purified themselves.--Before consecration to God there must be purification from defilement. It is made emphatic that both priests and Levites purified themselves, that is, by offerings and ablutions (comp. 2Chronicles 29:15; Ezra 6:20): the gates and the wall by being sprinkled.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAfter the priestsהַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים (hak·kō·hă·nîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 3548: Priestand Levitesוְהַלְוִיִּ֑ם (wə·hal·wî·yim)Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - proper - masculine pluralStrong's 3881: Levites -- descendant of Levihad purified themselves,וַיִּֽטַּהֲר֔וּ (way·yiṭ·ṭa·hă·rū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hitpael - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 2891: To be clean or purethey purifiedוַֽיְטַהֲרוּ֙ (way·ṭa·hă·rū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 2891: To be clean or purethe people,הָעָ֔ם (hā·‘ām)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flockthe gates,הַשְּׁעָרִ֖ים (haš·šə·‘ā·rîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 8179: An opening, door, gateand the wall.הַחוֹמָֽה׃ (ha·ḥō·w·māh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2346: A wall of protectionJump to PreviousCeremonially Clean Cleanse Cleansed Doorways Gates Levites Priests Purified Themselves Wall
