And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood — materials must also be purified, particularly those made from animals (leather, goat-hair, wooden vessels that might absorb corpse-impurity). The comprehensive nature of purification reflects how death-impurity permeates all contact, requiring ritual attention to every item.
