민수기(Num) 31장

19. 너희는 이레 동안 진영 밖에 주둔하라 누구든지 살인자나 죽임을 당한 사체를 만진 자는 셋째 날과 일곱째 날에 몸을 깨끗하게 하고 너희의 포로도 깨끗하게 할 것이며

19. “Anyone who has killed someone or touched someone who was killed must stay outside the camp seven days. On the third and seventh days you must purify yourselves and your captives.


24. 너희는 일곱째 날에 옷을 빨아서 깨끗하게 한 후에 진영에 들어올지니라

24. On the seventh day wash your clothes and you will be clean. Then you may come into the camp.”


I feel like I am fighting against evils that attack through my negative thoughts and others' behaviors on a daily basis, so I need to purify myself. Here is the Lord's way of cleaning: passing the fire or water. It could be the Word of God, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit, who teaches me and makes me repent at every moment.


One interesting thing I found out is that God commanded them to cleanse themselves on the 3rd and 7th day after battles, which reminds me of the Wednesday and Sunday worship services. Anyway, I have stopped meditating the bible for 3 days, so today's words are more interesting to me ;)
