Lévitique 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.

Lévitique 11:39 In-Context

37 Et s'il tombe quelque chose de leur corps mort sur quelque semence que l'on sĂšme, elle sera pure.
38 Mais si l'on a mis de l'eau sur la semence, et qu'il y tombe quelque chose de leur corps mort, elle vous sera souillée.
39 Et quand une des bĂȘtes qui vous sert de nourriture mourra, celui qui en touchera le cadavre, sera souillĂ© jusqu'au soir.
40 Celui qui mangera de son corps mort lavera ses vĂȘtements, et sera souillĂ© jusqu'au soir; et celui qui portera son corps mort, lavera ses vĂȘtements, et sera souillĂ© jusqu'au soir.
41 Tout reptile qui rampe sur la terre est une abomination; on n'en mangera point.
