| Leviticus 6:28 | And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken; but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with water. | Sodden, or boiled. Such vessels, of private people, as had been used to boil part of the victim, (1 Kings 2:13,) were either to be abandoned to the service of the altar, or broken, etc. (Calmet) --- Earthen vessels might imbibe some part of the consecrated juice. (Menochius) |
