15 “Every person, whether the native or the foreigner,(G) who eats an animal that died a natural death or was mauled by wild beasts(H) is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening; then he will be clean. 16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, he will bear his punishment.”
