Bible Commentary for Numbers 5:8

Wesley's Notes for Numbers 5:8


5:8 No kinsman - This supposes the person injured to be dead or gone, into some unknown place, and the person injured to be known to the injurer. To the priest - Whom God appointed as his deputy to receive his dues, and take them to his own use, that so he might more chearfully and entirely devote himself to the ministration of holy things. This is an additional explication to that law, #Lev 6:2|, and for the sake thereof it seems here to be repeated.
