This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Num_19:3 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:
Ver. 3. To Eleazar the priest.] To assure him of the succession of the priesthood. Besides, it was fitter he should be defiled than his father. {Num_19:7} Hereby also might haply be foretold, that the priests should kill Christ; but they were but our workmen, we should "look upon him whom we have pierced, and mourn over him," {Zec_12:10} that the fountain opened for sin, and for separation from uncleanness, {see Num_19:9} may be free to us, the king’s bath of Christ’s blood. {Zec_13:1}
Without the camp.] Signifying, that Christ should be taken from all earthly comforts, and crucified "without the gate." {Heb_13:12}
Before his face.] So was Christ before God’s face; yea, his Father laid upon him with his own hand, and let loose all the powers of darkness at him.
