Levítico 11:39 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:39

And if any beast of which ye may eat die
Any clean beast, as the ox, sheep, goat, deer what, if rightly killed, is very lawful to eat of; but if it died of itself through any distemper, or was torn by the wild beasts, so the Targum of Jonathan:

he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the
even;
not the bones, nerves, horns, hoofs, or skin, as Jarchi observes; these might be handled, because some of them, at least, were wrought up into one instrument or another, by artificers, for use and service, but the flesh of them might not be touched; whoever did touch it was ceremonially unclean, and might not go into the sanctuary, or have conversation with men, until the evening of the day in which this was done.

Levítico 11:39 In-Context

37 Si el cadáver cae sobre la semilla que será sembrada en el campo, aun así, la semilla será considerada pura;

38 pero si la semilla está húmeda cuando el cadáver cae sobre ella, la semilla quedará contaminada.

39 »Si un animal que te está permitido comer muere, y alguien toca el cadáver, esa persona quedará contaminada hasta el anochecer.

40 Si come de su carne o se lleva el cadáver, deberá lavar su ropa y permanecerá contaminada hasta el anochecer.

41 »Todos los animales pequeños que corren por el suelo son detestables, y nunca deberás comerlos.
