Theological / Devotional

Purify. This could be accomplished by the water of separation, or in running water (Lev. 11:32, 33). Both apparently came under the ordinance for those who had come into contact with dead bodies.

Made of skins. Including footwear, saddles, etc.

Goats’ hair. This would apply to tents (Ex. 25:4), and also to rugs and bedding (1 Sam. 19:13, 16).
