Gill's Notes on the Bible

Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire,.... Either through the smoke of the fire, and so be purified by suffumigation; or be put into the fire itself, where though they might be melted as the above things, yet not consumed as raiment, and vessels of skins, goats' hair, and wood, would be:

and it shall be clean; accounted so:

nevertheless, it shall be purified with the water of separation; with the water mixed with the ashes of the red heifer burnt, and sprinkled on it; see Numbers 19:9

and all that abideth not the fire; without being consumed, as whatsoever is of wood, c.

ye shall make go through the water dip them in it, and rinse them there with a quantity sufficient; which the Targum of Jonathan says is forty seahs of water.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 31:23. The water of separation — The water in which the ashes of the red heifer were mingled; Numbers 8:7; Numbers 8:7; "Numbers 19:2", &c. Garments, whether of cloth or skins, were to be washed. Gold, silver, brass, iron, tin, and lead, to pass through the fire, probably to be melted down.
