And I said, A! A! A! Lord God, lo! my soul is not defouled, and from my young childhood till to now I ate not a thing dead by itself, and rent of beasts; and all unclean flesh entered not into my mouth.
soothly if any man sheddeth [or pour] out [the] seed with water, and afterward the water is touched with dead bodies by themselves, it shall be defouled anon.
and the priest shall make, or offer, one of them for the man’s sin, and the tother into burnt sacrifice; and the priest shall pray for him before the Lord, that he be cleansed from the flowing out of his seed.
A man that eateth a thing dead by itself, either taken of a beast, as well of men born in the land, as of comelings, he shall wash his clothes, and himself in water, and he shall be defouled, till to eventide; and by this order, he shall be made clean;
A man of the seed of Aaron that is leprous, either suffereth flowing out of seed, shall not eat of these things, that be hallowed to me, till he be healed. He that toucheth any unclean thing on a dead body, and from whom the seed as of lechery goeth out,
If any man toucheth the dead body of a man slain in the field, either dead by himself, either a bone of him, either his sepulchre, he shall be unclean by seven days.
And then at the last, when the priest’s clothes and his body be washed, he shall enter into the tents, and he shall be defouled, or unclean, till to eventide.
