EXPLANATION

Verse 15. Tent, when he is gone to purify it.

Et veniat quæ lustret anus lectumque locumque,

Præferat et tremulâ sulphur et ova manu. Ovid. Art.

—Yet Moses does not mention sulphur as a thing proper for purifications. Some think that Baldad hints that his house will be destroyed with lightning, or rendered uninhabitable by a loathsome smell.
