Numbers 31:20-23

Contemporary English Version

²⁰ Then wash your clothes and anything made from animal skin, goat's hair, or wood.”

^21-23 Eleazar then explained, “If you need to purify something that won't burn, such as gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, or lead, you must first place it in a hot fire. After you take it out, sprinkle it with the water that purifies. Everything else should only be sprinkled with the water. Do all of this, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
