This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He alludes to the sprinklings under the law, perhaps to that Num_19:9, which was for purification of sin; and Eze_36:19,20. So God will purify them from their guilt. Clean water: some think it may refer to baptismal water; if so, it is to the blood of Christ, signified by it, and this, say the best expositors, is here intended, and this is
the blood of sprinkling, Heb_12:24.
Ye shall be clean; when sin is remitted, the person is indeed clean, both in the account of God and Christ.
From all your filthiness; though they have been many of all sorts, and among all ranks of men, yet multitude of sins shall not hinder me from pardoning.
From all your idols; that notorious great abomination, your multiplied idolatry, I will pardon that also, that ye may be clean. Thus remission of sin is promised.
