Thematic Bible: Purifications


Thematic Bible



Everyone who killed a person or touched a dead body must stay outside the camp seven days. You and your prisoners of war must use the ritual water on the third and seventh days in order to take away your sin. You must do the same for all the clothes and everything made of leather, goats' hair, or wood. Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle: This is what Jehovah's Law told Moses to do: read more.
Only the gold and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin and the lead, everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it will be clean. It must be purified with water for impurity. Anything that cannot stand the fire you shall pass through the water. You must wash your clothes on the seventh day and be clean. After that you may enter the camp.
