² Or a person who touches ^(A)any unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean beast or the carcass of unclean cattle or a carcass of unclean swarming things—though it is hidden from him, yet he is unclean—will be guilty. ³ Or if he touches human uncleanness, of whatever sort his uncleanness may be with which he becomes unclean, and it is hidden from him, and then he comes to know it, he will be guilty.

^21 (A)When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean ^[a]detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to Yahweh, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

⁵ or ^(A)if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness, ⁶ a ^[a]person who touches any such thing shall be unclean until evening and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his ^[b]body in water.
