21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the men who were in the battle, “The lord has given Moses this legal requirement:
22 Anything made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, or lead—
23 that is, all metals that do not burn—must be passed through fire in order to be made ceremonially pure. These metal objects must then be further purified with the water of purification. But everything that burns must be purified by the water alone.
24 On the seventh day you must wash your clothes and be purified. Then you may return to the camp.”
25 And the lord said to Moses,
26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family leaders of each tribe are to make a list of all the plunder taken in the battle, including the people and animals.
27 Then divide the plunder into two parts, and give half to the men who fought the battle and half to the rest of the people.
