The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

VERS. III.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉

Except they wash their hands.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, The fist. When they washed their hands, they washed the fist 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 the joyning of the arm. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 a 1.1 The hands are polluted, and made clean unto the joyning of the arm. b 1.2 The Rabbins deliver. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 The washing of hands, as to common things (or common food) was unto the joyning of the arm. And the cleansing of hands and feet in the Temple was to the joynt. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 saith the Aruch, is where the arm is distinguished from the hand. So also where the foot is distinguished from the leg.

The c 1.3 second Waters cleanse, whatsoever parts of the hands the first waters had washed. But if the first waters had gone above the juncture of the arm, the second waters do not cleanse, because they do not cleanse 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 beyond the juncture. If therefore the Waters, which went above the juncture, return upon the hands again, they are unclean.
