3 Heb “for sin and for impurity.” The purpose implied here has been stated explicitly in the translation for clarity. This reference to the fountain opened up … to cleanse them from sin and impurity is anticipatory of the cleansing from sin that lies at the heart of the NT gospel message (Rom 10:9–10; Titus 3:5). “In that day” throughout the passage (vv. 1, 2, 4) locates this cleansing in the eschatological (church) age (John 19:37).
4 Heb “cut off” (so ); “destroy”; “banish.”
