Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) And what saddle soever.--Better, and any carriage. The word here translated "saddle" only occurs twice more: viz., 1Kings 5:6 in Hebrew, or Leviticus 4:26 in English, where it is rendered "chariot" in the Authorised Version, and in Song of Solomon 3:10, where it is translated "covering" but where it manifestly denotes the seat inside the palanquin. With the feminine termination the word in question occurs no less than forty-four times, and is invariably translated in the Authorised Version "chariot." What kind of vehicle the masculine form of the expression in question denotes in the three passages in which it occurs must be decided from the context. In Kings, the horses which are used in connection with it show that it was a carriage drawn by animals. In Canticles it is a vehicle, or the essential part of it, carried by men, and this is the kind of vehicle meant in the passage before us. It is the well-known palanquin so largely used in the East.Shall be unclean.--The conveyance used is to be unclean, and hence, is not to be used by any one else. It will be seen that the present text does not say how long the vehicle is to be defiled, though in every other instance the time is fixed. (See Leviticus 15:5-11.) There can, therefore, hardly be any doubt that the reading in the LXX., which has here until evening, is the original one, and that the words have dropped out of the Hebrew text.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnyוְכָל־ (wə·ḵāl)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everysaddleהַמֶּרְכָּ֗ב (ham·mer·kāḇ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4817: A chariot, riding seatonעָלָ֛יו (‘ā·lāw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstwhichאֲשֶׁ֨ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatthe man with the dischargeהַזָּ֖ב (haz·zāḇ)Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 2100: To flow freely, to have a, flux, to waste away, to overflowridesיִרְכַּ֥ב (yir·kaḇ)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7392: To ride, to place upon, to despatchwill be unclean.יִטְמָֽא׃ (yiṭ·mā)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2930: To be or become uncleanJump to PreviousCarriage Discharge Flux Horse Issue Leather Rides Rideth Riding Saddle Seat Seated Sits Soever Unclean
