19 ‘“Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned. As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it. 20 But if anyone who is unclean eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people. 21 Anyone who touches something unclean – 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.”’
