Numbers 31:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

All your raiment, to wit, your spoil and prey. See Leviticus 8:15, Leviticus 14:49. All these things had contracted some ceremonial uncleanness, either from the dead bodies which wore them, or the tents or houses where they were, in which such dead bodies lay, or from the touch of the Israelitish soldiers, who were legally defiled by the slaughters they made.

Numbers 31:20

20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
