Ezekiel 44:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

After he is cleansed; after that for seven days he hath kept from the dead, by which the Jews accounted a man was cleansed, for as nearness did defile, so absence did cleanse in this case. They, the priests, who are about the house of God, shall reckon unto him seven days; shall appoint seven days more to this defiled person for his cleansing, before he is admitted into the sanctuary.
