| 4. Formal Translation Any man from the offspring of Aaron who is afflicted with a skin disease or has a discharge must not eat the holy things until he is clean. And anyone who touches anything unclean through contact with a dead person {nefesh: a human life, here a dead body} or a man with a semen emission must not eat them. |
| 4. Dynamic Translation If any man among Aaron’s descendants has a skin disease or a bodily discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is purified. Likewise, anyone who touches something made unclean by contact with a dead body {nefesh: a human life, here a corpse} or a man with a semen emission may not eat from the sacred offerings. |
