After the battle against Midian, the soldiers and their plunder had become ritually unclean through contact with the dead, so Eleazar the priest tells them how to be cleansed before returning to the camp. Metals that survive fire, such as gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin and lead, must pass through fire and then through the water of purification.
