Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 31 of Numbers. Israel fights against Midian in fulfillment of the judgment previously announced. After the battle, regulations of purification are established for those who participated and for the objects obtained. The section combines war, judgment, and ritual purity, showing that even after a military victory the people must return to the requirements of holiness governing camp life.

und alles was das Feuer leidet, sollt ihr durchs Feuer lassen gehen und reinigen; nur daß es mit dem Sprengwasser entsündigt werde. Aber alles, was das Feuer nicht leidet, sollt ihr durchs Wasser gehen lassen.
Todo lo que resiste el fuego, por fuego lo haréis pasar, y será limpio, bien que en las aguas de purificación habrá de purificarse: mas haréis pasar por agua todo lo que no aguanta el fuego.
todo lo que resista el fuego lo harán pasar por el fuego, y quedará puro; sin embargo, deberá purificarse también con el agua de purificación. Todo lo que no resista el fuego lo harán pasar por el agua.
tout objet qui peut aller au feu, vous le ferez passer par le feu pour le rendre pur. Mais c'est par l'eau de purification que sera purifié tout ce qui ne peut aller au feu; vous le ferez passer dans l'eau.
e in somma tutto ciò che può portare il fuoco; e così sarà netto; ma pure ancora sia purificato con l’acqua di purificazione; e tutto ciò che non può portare il fuoco, fatelo passar per l’acqua.
Toda a coisa que pode resistir ao fogo, fareis passar pelo fogo, para que fique limpa, todavia se purificará com a água da purificação; mas tudo que não pode resistir ao fogo, fareis passar pela água.
凡能耐火的,你們要使它經過火,它就潔淨,然而還要用除污穢的水來潔淨它;凡不能耐火的,你們要使它經過水。
