Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 31:20

20 And purifie all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats hair , and all things made of wood.

To wit your spoil and prey. See Levit. 8. 15. and 14. 49.

All which had contracted some ceremonial uncleanness either from the dead Bodies which wore them, or the tents or houses where they were, in which such dead Bodies lay, or from the touch of the Israelitish Souldiers, who were legally defiled by the slaughters they made.

Marginal references: Heb. Instrument, or vesse[illegible: 1+ letters] of skins.
