Leviticus 17:15

15. Died of itself Hebrew, carcass. The ground of this requirement, that one ignorantly eating such flesh should ceremonially cleanse himself, is that he has eaten blood corrupting in the flesh. The wilful eater of carrion would probably be cut off with the blood-eater.

Bathe himself in water Hebrew, wash with water; the Seventy, υδατι , with water, as in Luke 3:16, “I baptize you υδατι ;” also Acts 1:5; Acts 11:16. A heavy burden, indeed, and one utterly impossible in many instances to be borne, would be the requirement to bathe or immerse the entire person in water; but in any desert where men can live they can find sufficient water with which ceremonially to wash themselves. The same words are correctly translated “wash with water” in Leviticus 22:6.
