## In Jewish tradition

Brass pots that held a sin-offering had to be scoured and rinsed in water.

**Interpretation.** The law shows that holy food could soak into a pot, so the pot had to be treated with care.

### Examples

- But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken; and if it be sodden in a brazen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. (Torah LEV.6.28, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/scoured/#x1)
