Numbers 31:21 in Context — Numbers 31

19 Et vous, campez pendant sept jours hors du camp; tous ceux d’entre vous qui ont tué quelqu’un, et tous ceux qui ont touché un mort, se purifieront le troisième et le septième jour, eux et vos prisonniers.

20 Vous purifierez aussi tout vêtement, tout objet de peau, tout ouvrage de poil de chèvre et tout ustensile de bois.

21 Le sacrificateur Éléazar dit aux soldats qui étaient allés à la guerre: Voici ce qui est ordonné par la loi que l’Éternel a prescrite à Moïse.

22 L’or, l’argent, l’airain, le fer, l’étain et le plomb,

23 tout objet qui peut aller au feu, vous le ferez passer par le feu pour le rendre pur. Mais c’est par l’eau de purification que sera purifié tout ce qui ne peut aller au feu; vous le ferez passer dans l’eau.
