Ezequiel 36:25

25. Clean water Not merely which was itself clean, but that which makes clean and “purgeth from sin” (Numbers 8:7; Numbers 8:21; Numbers 19:11; Numbers 19:13; Numbers 19:19; Numbers 19:21; compare Hebrews 10:22). In some instances this “water of purifying” was mixed with blood, as in the case of leprosy, the most striking physical symbol of loathsome sin (Leviticus 14:5-8; Leviticus 14:50; Leviticus 14:52; compare Guthrie, Gospel in Ezekiel, p. 256). This legal cleansing (the removal of impurity) is as closely associated here with the renewing and transformation of the moral nature as justification and pardon with regeneration and sanctification in the New Testament. (Compare Psalms 51:9-12; Titus 3:5; Titus 3:7.)
