He will also be unclean if he touches something defiled by a corpse^(B) or by anyone who has an emission of semen, ⁵ or if he touches any crawling thing^(C) that makes him unclean, or any person^(D) who makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be. ⁶ The one who touches any such thing will be unclean^(E) till evening.^(F) He must not eat any of the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water.^{(G) 7} When the sun goes down, he will be clean, and after that he may eat the sacred offerings, for they are his food.^{(H) 8} He must not eat anything found dead^(I) or torn by wild animals,^(J) and so become unclean^(K) through it. I am the Lord.^(L)
