Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat. 20 But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean,[a] that person must be cut off from his people.(A) 21 If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable[b](B) creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person must be cut off from his people.”
