Leviticus 22:6-8
New English Translation
6 the person who touches any of these[a] will be unclean until evening and must not eat from the holy offerings unless he has bathed his body in water. 7 When the sun goes down he will be clean, and afterward he may eat from the holy offerings, because they are his food. 8 He must not eat an animal that has died of natural causes[b] or an animal torn by beasts and thus become unclean by it. I am the Lord.

- Leviticus 22:6 sn The phrase “any of these” refers back to the unclean things touched in vv. 4b-5.
- Leviticus 22:8 tn Heb “a carcass,” referring to the carcass of an animal that has died on its own, not the carcass of an animal slaughtered for sacrifice or killed by wild beasts. This has been clarified in the translation by supplying the phrase “of natural causes”; cf. NAB “that has died of itself”; TEV “that has died a natural death.”
