Numbers 31:13

And Moses and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the

Attended, no doubt, with a proper retinue:

went forth to meet them without the camp;
partly to do honour to them, and to congratulate them on their victory, and partly to hinder them going into the camp directly, until they were purified; see ( Genesis 14:17 Genesis 14:18 ) .
