21. Likewise, Eleazar the priest spoke in this manner to the men of the army who had fought: "This is the precept of the law, which the Lord has commanded Moses:
22. Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
23. and all that may be able to pass through fire, shall be purified by fire. But whatever is not able to sustain fire shall be sanctified with the waters of expiation.
24. And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and, after having been purified, you shall enter the camp."
25. And the Lord also said to Moses:
26. "Take the sum of those things which were captured, from man even to beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the common people.
27. And you shall divide the prey equally, among those who went out to war and fought, and among the remainder of the multitude.
