THE SPRINKLING OF
CLEAN WATER HEALS LEPROUSY
Midrash Rabbah - Numbers 7:10
SO DID THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL indicates that the children of Israel are destined to do repentance in after days, and will be redeemed; as it says, In repentance and rest shall ye be saved (Isaiah 30:15). Moreover as a leper, one that has an issue, and one that is unclean by the dead will never be clean until they go into ritually clean water, so the Holy One, blessed be He, will sprinkle clean water upon them and cleanse them; as it says, And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean, etc. (Ezekiel 36:25).
