to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten.”
“Speak to the Israelites, saying: “If a woman conceives and bears a male child, she shall be unclean seven days; as at the time of her menstruation, she shall be unclean.
Or when you touch human uncleanness—any uncleanness by which one can become unclean—and are unaware of it, when you come to know it, you shall be guilty.
When any one of you touches any unclean thing—human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature—and then eats flesh from the Lord’s sacrifice of well-being, you shall be cut off from your people.”
