Numbers 31:21-23

New American Standard Bible

²¹ Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle, “This is the statute of the Law which the Lord has commanded Moses: ²² only the gold and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead, ²³ everything that can ^[a]withstand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it will be clean, only it shall be purified with ^(A)water for impurity. But whatever cannot ^[b]withstand the fire you shall pass through the water.
