Leviticus 11:39-40

Edible Land Quadrupeds

11:39 “‘Now if an animal ¹  that you may eat dies, ²  whoever touches its carcass will be unclean until the evening. 11:40 One who eats from its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening, and whoever carries its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

[11:39]  ¹ tn This word for “animal” refers to land animal quadrupeds, not just any beast that dwells on the land (cf. 11:2).

[11:39]  ² tn Heb “which is food for you” or “which is for you to eat.”
