Contemporary English Version
4 None of you may take part in the sacred meals while you have a skin disease or an infected penis, or after you have been near a dead body or have had a flow of semen, 5 or if you have touched an unclean creature of any sort, including an unclean person. 6-7 Once you are unclean, you must take a bath, but you still cannot eat any of the sacred food until evening.

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)
