the Douay translators-"The flesh that hath debantur. Quodsi enim legislator pro touched any unclean thing shall not be dixisset, intelligi potuisset de eaten, but shall be burnt with fire: he that solis carnibus sacrificiorum salutarium loqui is clean shall eat thereof."

It was this that led Michaelis to think that the order has been altered, and that we should Ver. 21. הנפש :20 .ver באש ישרפו הבשר : thus restore it N. The letters are all the same, only two copulatives have changed their places, and ver. 19 is supposed to end with an. On this idea Michaelis has formed his German version thus: Wenn opferfleisch von etwas unreinem berührt wurde, so soll es nicht gegessen, sondern verbrannt werden. Jeder reine kann vom fleisch des opfers essen wer aber, &c. This emendation of the text is ingenious without being violent; yet to me it appears, in some degree, exceptionable; for, first, it will be allowed, I think, that is here more idiomatical than immediately יאכלו not יאכל especially as ישרפו precedes: secondly, if we point after will then be הבשר . ישרף should end with παντὸς βδελύγματος ἀκαθάρτου.
