This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
Ver. 8. And of those that are not clean.] So a Doeg may set his foot as far within the sanctuary as a David: A "generation of vipers" may come to John’s baptism, {Mat_3:7} as well as better men. But as these beasts came unclean to the ark, and went thence as unclean; so do most men to the holy ordinances; which yet are the heavenly exchange betwixt God and his elect: they present duty, He confers mercy. "The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: … but the unjust knoweth no shame"; {Zep_3:5} he that is "filthy," will "be filthy still". {Rev_22:11}
