4 ‘Whatever man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a aleper or has ba discharge, shall not eat the holy offerings cuntil he is clean. And dwhoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or ea man who has had an emission of semen,
5 or awhoever touches any creeping thing by which he would be made unclean, or bany person by whom he would become unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be—
6 the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy offerings unless he awashes his body with water.
7 And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because ait is his food.
8 aWhatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am the Lord.
9 ‘They shall therefore keep aMy ordinance, blest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the Lord sanctify them.
