Hamrisen, nämlich durch Besprengen. Das geht auch aus der abweichen⸗
den Lesart von e und B hervor. Alle andern eodiçces haben Bamοπάἀοκιì
The gaννιοσαονVνάνε fρ 8. B is an interpretative substitution for the
original Harοονοννσν ef A, D, I. I, ete.“ (Luth. Comm., p. 124.)
Der Lutheran Commentars“ bemerkt zu V. 4: „Coming from the
market-placé, except ther wash themselves, not be bathing (Meyer),
but by an effusion or sprinkling (ef. Numb. 8, 7; 19, 13, ete.;
Ezek. 36. 25; Hebr. 9. 13; 10, 22), to become clean from the defile-
ment contractéd be contaet (Lev. 15, 11) in the market-place. In
like manner there aré mang other laws about washings of wooden“
(Anmerkung: None of thé vessels could bée earthen, as thesc, when
defiled, were to be broken, Lev. 15, 12.“) „cups and pots, which latter,
containing about a pint, were the Roman séxtarii, sixths, being the
sixth part of a congius; and brazen vessels, literally, coppers, large
copper caldrons, and reclining coucheés, which had béen defiled by
ceremonially unclean persons.“ (Anmerkung: „Couchés,' although
wanting in 8, B, L. I, is to bée retalned, for its omission is more
probable than its addition.“) „These couches, as well as the cop-
pers, sbhow that Barrrionνοος cannot mean immersions.“

Auch Vincent gesteht in seinen Word Studies in the New Testa-
ment“ bei dem Worte Æπιον: If this béelongs in theé text, we certainly
cannot explain Harrroνcοοe às immersion.“

Über die Bedeutung des Wortes hamrieet sagt Vincent: The New.
Testament usé of the word to denote submeérsion for a reéligious pur-
pose may be traced back to the Levitical washings. See Levit. 9, 32
(0f vessels); II, 40 (of clothes); Numb. 8, 6. 7 (sprinkling with
purifying water); Exod. 30, 19. 21 (washing hands and féct). The
word appéars to have béeen at that time the technical term for such
washings (compare Luke 11, 38; Hebr. 9, 10; Mark 7, 4) and could
not theréeforeé have béen limitéd to the meaning immerse. Thus the
wWashing of pots and vessels for ceremonial purification could not have
beéen by plunging them in water, which would have renderéd impure
the whole body of purifying water. The word may be taken in the
sense of washing or sprinhling.“

N, ist in unserer Bibel mit „Tischen“ und in der Authorized
Version mit „tables“ übersetzt, heißt aber eigentlich das Lager, oder
Bett, auch das Polster, couches. Gemeint sind die Polster, auf die man
sich hinlegte beim Tisch. Aber auch selbst wenn wir „Tische“ lesen, so
wäre an ein Untertauchen nicht zu denken. In der allerersten Zeit ge⸗
brauchte man allerdings nur ein rundes Stück Leder, welches man auf
den Boden legte, als Tisch. Zu Christi Zeiten und schon früher waren
vom Grund erhöhte Tische im Gebrauch. Dr. Nevin sagt: „The most
ancient tablé for eating probably resembled that which is still common
in the East, a circular piece of leather spread upon the floor, around
which those who ate sat with legs bent and erossed, on cushions or
