WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[19] Encamp you outside of the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives. [20] As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves. [21] Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses: [22] however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, [23] everything that may abide the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water. [24] You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp.
