holy water] That is, the water taken out of the laver, placed betwixt the Tabernacle and the Altar of burnt-sacrifice, Exodus 30:18. or the water of separation, or a purification for sinne, Numbers 19:9. dust] That might be called holy dust, for the place of Gods especiall presence was holy ground, Exodus 3:5. yet the taking of dust, might admonish her of the doome of death upon the guilt of sinne, Genesis 3:19. Or of the basenesse of such as gave themselves to unlawfull lusts, worthy, as dust, to be trodden under foot; for dust was ever a signe of basenesse, and griefe, Lamentations 3:29. Psalms 7:5. & Psalms 22:15. Job 2:12.
