Numbers 31:23

Purification After Battle

²² But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead, ²³ And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water. ²⁴ And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.
