Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 31. - That they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. The main purpose in the laws of uncleanness is to keep first God's house and then God's people free from the danger of defilement by foul things presenting themselves freely before him and among them. These foul things, symbolizing sinful things, create a ceremonial defilement symbolizing moral defilement.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(31) Thus shall ye separate.--That is, according to the regulations laid down in this chapter. "Ye"--i.e., Moses and Aaron, to whom they were conjointly addressed (see Leviticus 15:1)--are to restrain the children of Israel, lest they be punished with death when they approach the Lord in a defiled state.Defile my tabernacle.--Better, my dwelling place, which can here be used, though in Leviticus 8:10, where it also occurs, the expression "dwelling-place" does not suit so well.
