And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.

Literal

And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned in the fire. And the flesh, every clean one shall eat flesh.

Notes

Leviticus 7:19–21

Anything ceremonially unclean could not touch what was holy (Leviticus 7:20). Although uncleanness was not sinful by itself, it symbolized what was unholy (see Exodus 19:10).
