In the Hebrew context, the word for "burns" (שָׂרַף, saraph) implies a complete consumption by fire, symbolizing the total eradication of sin. Historically, this act was a critical part of the Day of Atonement rituals, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the need for purification. The person performing this task was set apart for a holy duty, reflecting the gravity and sacredness of the atonement process.<p><b>must wash his clothes</b><br />The requirement to wash clothes signifies a transition from impurity to purity. In Hebrew culture, clothing often symbolized one's status and condition before God. The act of washing (כָּבַס, kabas) is a physical representation of spiritual cleansing. This ritual underscores the importance of approaching God with a pure heart and the necessity of removing any defilement associated with handling the sin offering.<p><b>and bathe himself with water</b><br />Bathing with water (רָחַץ, rachats) is a recurring theme in Levitical law, symbolizing purification and renewal. Water, a vital element in the ancient Near East, represents life and cleansing. This act of bathing is not merely hygienic but deeply spiritual, illustrating the need for inner purification before re-entering the community. It serves as a reminder of the transformative power of God's grace, which cleanses believers from sin.<p><b>and afterward he may come into the camp</b><br />Re-entry into the camp signifies restoration and acceptance back into the community of God's people. The camp represents the dwelling place of the Israelites, where God's presence was manifest. This phrase highlights the completion of the purification process, allowing the individual to return to fellowship with others. It reflects the broader biblical theme of reconciliation and the believer's journey from separation due to sin to restored communion with God and His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(28) <span class= "bld">And he that burneth.</span>--That is, those who carried the carcases and burned them, like the messenger who conducted the sin-laden goat, contracted defilement from the atoning victims.
