³⁸ But you might put water on some seeds. If a dead, unclean animal falls on those seeds, they are unclean for you.

³⁹ “‘Also, an animal which you use for food may die. If it does, anyone who touches its body will be unclean until evening. ⁴⁰ Anyone who eats meat from this animal’s dead body must wash his clothes. He will be unclean until evening. Anyone who picks up the animal’s dead body must wash his clothes. He will be unclean until evening.
