^21 (A)When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean ^[a]detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Yahweh, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

³ Say to them, ‘^(A)If any man among all your seed throughout your generations comes near to the holy gifts which the sons of Israel set apart as holy to Yahweh, and he has an uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from before Me; I am Yahweh. ^4 (B)No man of the seed of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. ^(C)And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or if ^(D)a man has a seminal emission, ⁵ or ^(E)if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness, ⁶ a ^[a]person who touches any such thing shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his ^[b]body in water. ⁷ But the sun will set, and he will be clean. And afterward he shall eat of the holy gifts, for ^(F)it is his ^[c]food.
