* whomsoever.
It is rather doubtful whether the words hath not rinsed his
hands in water refer to him who was diseased, or to him who
had his hands touched. Most understand it of the former,
that if the person who had the issue rinsed his hands in
water, just before he touched any one, he did not communicate
any pollution; otherwise, he did. But the Syriac refers it
to the person touched by him, though it seems strange that he
should be cleansed by washing his hands, when perhaps some
other part was touched.
