The death of these animals and their contact with objects symbolize the transmission of impurity. In the ancient Near Eastern context, death was often associated with impurity and separation from the divine. This reflects the broader biblical theme of sin and death bringing separation from God, as seen in <a href="/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3</a> with the fall of man.that article becomes unclean The concept of ritual impurity is central to Levitical law. Objects that come into contact with unclean animals are considered defiled. This underscores the pervasive nature of impurity and the need for purification. The idea of uncleanness can be seen as a metaphor for sin, which contaminates and separates individuals from God, as echoed in <a href="/isaiah/59-2.htm">Isaiah 59:2</a>.any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work This list includes common materials and tools used in daily life in ancient Israel. The inclusion of these items highlights the comprehensive nature of the purity laws, affecting all aspects of life. The specificity of materials reflects the practical concerns of maintaining ritual purity in a community setting. This can be connected to the New Testament teaching in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-31.htm">1 Corinthians 10:31</a>, where believers are encouraged to do everything for the glory of God, indicating that all aspects of life are under divine consideration.must be rinsed with water Water is a symbol of purification throughout the Bible. The act of rinsing signifies the removal of impurity and the restoration of the object's usability. This ritual cleansing prefigures the New Testament concept of baptism, where water symbolizes the washing away of sin and the believer's new life in Christ, as seen in <a href="/acts/22-16.htm">Acts 22:16</a>.and will remain unclean until evening The period until evening signifies a temporary state of impurity. Evening marks the beginning of a new day in the Hebrew calendar, symbolizing renewal and restoration. This temporal aspect of uncleanness points to the hope of redemption and the eventual restoration of all things, as prophesied in <a href="/revelation/21-5.htm">Revelation 21:5</a>.then it will be clean The final state of cleanness after the prescribed ritual indicates the possibility of restoration and reconciliation with God. This reflects the broader biblical narrative of redemption, where impurity and sin are not permanent states but can be overcome through divine provision.

(See <a href="/leviticus/11-25.htm" title="And whoever bears ought of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.">Leviticus 11:25</a>.) According to the law which obtained during the second Temple it was only when the portion of the carcase of an unclean animal had flesh on it that it defiled, but not otherwise. Hence the skins, hair, bones, horns, hoofs, sinews, &c. of all unclean creatures were exempted. These were made into different domestic utensils and implements. The use thus made of the parts in question also constituted one of the differences between the Pharisees and the Sadducees in the time of Christ. The Sadducees regarded every portion of every unclean animal in whatever state as defiling, and hence prohibited its being made up into any vessel.Vessel of wood.--That is, vessels made of bulrushes (<a href="/isaiah/18-2.htm" title="That sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes on the waters, saying, Go, you swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning till now; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!">Isaiah 18:2</a>), reeds, wicker, shells of nuts, barks of trees, or of anything which grew out of the earth like wood.Or raiment.--That is, any garment made of a woven material, such as wool, flax, hemp, or anything which grows on the dry land. Hence cloth made of a material which grows in the sea was not defiled, according to the canons which obtained during the second Temple.Or skin.--This also, according to the same authorities, only applied to the skins of land animals; skins of aquatic creatures received no defilement.Or sack.--From the parallel passage in <a href="/numbers/31-20.htm" title="And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.">Numbers 31:20</a>, we see that by this expression here is meant garments made of stuffs of goats' hair, in contradistinction to the textures of which the garments were made, denoted by the expression beged, "raiment."
