19 ‘The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. And as for the clean flesh, all who are [a]clean may eat of it. 20 But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the (A)Lord, (B)while he is unclean, that person (C)shall be cut off from his people. 21 Moreover the person who touches any unclean thing, such as (D)human uncleanness, an (E)unclean animal, or any (F)abominable[b] unclean thing, and who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord, that person (G)shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
