Numbers 31:22
20 And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
23 everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.
24 On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
