1. The Lord also spoke to Moses saying:
2. Speak to Aaron and to his sons, so that they may be careful of those things which have been consecrated for the sons of Israel, and so that they may not contaminate the name of the things sanctified to me, which they offer. I am the Lord.
3. Say to them and to their posterity: Every man of your stock, who approaches toward those things which have been consecrated, and which the sons of Israel have brought forward to the Lord, in whom there is uncleanness, shall perish before the Lord. I am the Lord.
4. The man of the offspring of Aaron, who is a leper or who is suffering a flow of seed, shall not eat of those things which have been sanctified to me, until he is healed. Whoever will have touched what is unclean because of the dead, and he whose seed goes out from him, as if from sexual intercourse,
5. and whoever has touched a creeping thing, or any kind of unclean thing, the touching of which is filthy,
6. shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat those things which have been sanctified. But when he has washed his flesh with water,
7. and the sun has set, then, having been purified, he shall eat from what has been sanctified, because it is his food.
8. Whatever dies on its own, and whatever has been seized by a wild beast, they shall not eat, nor shall they be polluted by these. I am the Lord.
