(10) Uncleanness that chanceth him by night. As in Leviticus 15:16. (11) When the sun is down.--"No man is clean (after ceremonial uncleanness) except at the going down of the sun" (Rashi). (12) Without the camp.--It must not be forgotten that this is the camp of the army, not the whole encampment of Israel in the wilderness. The entire passage is continuous from Deuteronomy 23:9. Hence the whole discussion raised, after the appearance of Dr. Colenso's work, on the size of the camp of Israel and the possibility of obeying this rule, was simply waste of words, and arose out of a misunderstanding of the matter under consideration. The sanitary value of the rule has been abundantly demonstrated in our own day. (13) A paddle--rather, a pin, or spike, like that with which Jael slew Sisera. The word for "weapon" does not occur elsewhere. The LXX. translates it "a pin or tent-peg at thy girdle;" the Hebrew word (azen) being like the Greek (????). But both Targums interpret the word as "weapon," connecting it with the Hebrew zayin, which has that meaning. The hinder end of the spear in Abner's hand was sharp enough to strike Asahel a fatal blow when he followed him (2Samuel 2:23). Saul's spear also was "stuck in the ground at his bolster" (1Samuel 26:7), probably with its point upwards, by the same spike. . . .
