Leviticus 11:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:28

And he that beareth the carcass of them
Carries it upon any account, from place to place:

shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even;
as he that bore the carcasses of any of the flying creeping things, ( Leviticus 11:25 )

they are unclean to you;
even the carcasses of the one and of the other; and to all the Israelites, men, women, and children, as Aben Ezra observes.
