21. Eleazar the priest told the soldiers who had taken part in the battle: “This is the prescribed ritual which the Lord has commanded Moses:
22. gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin and lead—
23. whatever can stand fire—you shall put into the fire, that it may become clean; however, it must also be purified with water of purification. But whatever cannot stand fire you must put into the water.
24. On the seventh day you will wash your garments, and then you will again be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
