19 “Anyone who has killed someone or touched someone who was killed(A) must stay outside the camp seven days.(B) On the third and seventh days you must purify yourselves(C) and your captives. 20 Purify every garment(D) as well as everything made of leather, goat hair or wood.(E)

21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle,(F) “This is what is required by the law that the Lord gave Moses: 22 Gold, silver, bronze, iron,(G) tin, lead 23 and anything else that can withstand fire must be put through the fire,(H) and then it will be clean. But it must also be purified with the water of cleansing.(I) And whatever cannot withstand fire must be put through that water. 24 On the seventh day wash your clothes and you will be clean.(J) Then you may come into the camp.(K)

19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses;

22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
