Numbers 31:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ but save the girls for yourselves who have not yet slept with a man.

¹⁹ Purification after Battle.^[a]“Any of you who has killed a person and anyone who has touched any of those who have been killed must stay outside of the camp for seven days. You are to purify yourself and your captives on the third and the seventh days. ²⁰ Purify all of your clothes as well as all of your leather goods and everything made from goat hair and everything made from wood.”
