Leviticus 22:4-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 No descendant of Aaron who is stricken with a scaly infection,(A) or who suffers from a genital discharge,(B) may eat of the sacred offerings, until he again becomes clean. Moreover, if anyone touches a person who has become unclean by contact with a corpse,(C) or if anyone has had an emission of semen,(D) 5 or if anyone touches any swarming creature(E) whose uncleanness is contagious or any person whose uncleanness, of whatever kind it may be, is contagious—(F) 6 the one who touches such as these shall be unclean until evening and may not eat of the sacred portions until he has first bathed his body in water.(G) 7 Then, when the sun sets, he shall be clean.(H) Only then may he eat of the sacred offerings, for they are his food.
