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.
28 From the army’s portion, first give the lord his share of the plunder—one of every 500 of the prisoners and of the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats.
29 Give this share of the army’s half to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the lord.
