Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke: and ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face: This...

And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times: This makes it a sacrifice; otherwise, it scarcely deserves the name.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: and the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. All was to be burnt, and then the ashes, the essence and product of it, were to be preserved to make the water of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even. What a strange sacrifice was this, for even when it was offered it seemed to make unclean all those who had anything to do with it!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. And a man that is clean- Now we come to the merit of Christ, for who is clean except Christ?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. This ceremonial does not represent the putting away of sin, that typified in the slaying of the victims; but it represents that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever. That was the remedy ordained by the Lord for purifying the defiled; now notice what made this remedy so necessary.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean. I wonder whether that is a revelation of our being justified through the resurrection of Christ,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. This law was indeed a yoke of bondage which our fathers were not able to bear. It was meant to teach us how easily we can be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners. And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. And the LORD hearkened to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. One gets tired, in reading of the wanderings of Israel in the wilderness, of this parrot cry, “Wherefore have ye brought us up out of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. Like a true mediator, he was...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. This...
