He said to them,“The vessels require purging to cleanse them from the absorption of forbidden food, and sprinkling to cleanse them of spiritual uncleanness [caused by a corpse].” Our Rabbis expounded from here that even to make them fit for use after contamination from forbidden food, ritual immersion was required for metal utensils.” (Rashi to Bamidbar 20:23) This means that immersing vessels in water is part of the process of making vessels “fit for use after contamination from forbidden food.” But if this is the case, why do newly acquired vessels from gentiles require immersion?

(Bamidbar 20:22-23) The Ramban: Ramban asks why this command was not given to the Jewish people following their defeat of Sichon and Og which occurred earlier. The utensil is therefore “potentially impure.” For a Jew to take possession of such a utensil, he must first purif
