Any of you that are ritually clean may eat the meat, 20 but if any of you who are not clean eat it, you shall no longer be considered one of God's people. 21 Also, if you eat the meat of this offering after you have touched anything ritually unclean, whether from a person or an animal, you shall no longer be considered one of God's people.

As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it. 20 But if anyone who is unclean(A) eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people.(B) 21 Anyone who touches something unclean(C)—whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground[a]—and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord must be cut off from their people.’”
