19 Any meat that has come into contact with something unclean is not to be eaten. It is to be burned in the fire. All who are clean may eat the meat of a peace offering, 20 but the person who is unclean and who eats the meat of the peace offering to the Lord is to be cut off[a] from his people. 21 If anyone touches anything unclean, whether it be the uncleanness of a person or an unclean animal or any abominable, unclean thing and that person then eats the meat of the sacrifice of the peace offering, he shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
