Numbers 31:24

Purity

22 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.

On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”

25 The LORD said to Moses,

26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.
