Numbers 19:15
And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
And every open vessel,.... An earthen one, as the Targum of Jonathan; and so Jarchi interprets it; and Maimonides {r} observes, that this is only to be understood of an earthen vessel:
which hath no covering bound upon it; a linen or a woollen cloth wrapped and tied about it:
is unclean; the air of the house getting into it by its being uncovered.
{r} In Misn. Cholin, c. 1. sect. 6.
