“‘ If anyone becomes aware that they are guilty— if they unwittingly touch anything ceremonially unclean( whether the carcass of an unclean animal, wild or domestic, or of any unclean creature that moves along the ground) and they are unaware that they have become unclean, but then they come to realize their guilt;

or if anyone touches an unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean wild animal or a carcass of unclean livestock or a carcass of unclean swarming things, and it is hidden from him and he has become unclean, and he realizes his guilt;

“ Or suppose you unknowingly touch something that is ceremonially unclean, such as the carcass of an unclean animal. When you realize what you have done, you must admit your defilement and your guilt. This is true whether it is a wild animal, a domestic animal, or an animal that scurries along the ground.

Or if someone touches anything unclean— a carcass of an unclean wild animal, or unclean livestock, or an unclean swarming creature— without being aware of it, he is unclean and incurs guilt.

Or if a person touches any unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or a carcass of unclean swarming things, though it is hidden from him and he is unclean, then he will be guilty.

‘ Or if a person touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and he is unaware of it, he also shall be unclean and guilty.

Or if any one touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him, and he be unclean, then he shall be guilty.

“ Suppose someone sins by doing something I command them not to do. Even though they do not know it, they are guilty. They will be held responsible for it.

Pigs aren’t“ clean” for you either. They have a divided hoof, but they don’t chew the cud. So don’t eat their meat. And don’t touch their dead bodies.

“ Anyone who touches a dead person’s body will be‘ unclean’ for seven days.They must make themselves pure and‘ clean’ with the special water. They must do it on the third day. They must also do it on the seventh day. Then they will be‘ clean.’ But suppose they do not make themselves pure and‘ clean’ on the third and seventh days. Then they will not be‘ clean.’Anyone who touches a dead person’s body and does not make themselves pure and‘ clean’ makes my holy tent‘ unclean.’ They must be separated from Israel. The special water has not been sprinkled on them. So they are‘ unclean.’ And they remain‘ unclean.’“ Here is the law that applies when a person dies in a tent. Anyone who enters the tent will be‘ unclean’ for seven days. Anyone in the tent will also be‘ unclean’ for seven days.And anything in it that is open and has no lid will be‘ unclean.’“ Suppose someone is out in the country. And suppose they touch someone who has been killed by a sword. Or they touch someone who has died a natural death. Or they touch a human bone or a grave. Then anyone who touches any of those things will be‘ unclean’ for seven days.

So Haggai said,“ Suppose someone is made‘ unclean’ by touching a dead body. And then they touch one of these things. Does it become‘ unclean’ too?”“ Yes,” the priests replied.“ It does.”

Treat them as“ unclean.” Do not eat their meat. Treat their dead bodies as“ unclean.”

“ How terrible for you! You are like graves that are not marked. People walk over them without knowing it.”

Suppose someone touches something“ unclean.” It does not matter whether it comes from a human being who is not“ clean.” It does not matter whether it comes from an“ unclean” animal. It does not matter whether it comes from something hated and“ unclean.” And suppose they eat any of the meat from the friendship offering that belongs to the Lord. Then they will be separated from their people.’ ”

“‘ Or suppose the whole community of Israel sins without meaning to. They do something the Lord commands us not to do. Suppose they realize their guilt.

“‘ You will make yourselves“ unclean” if you eat these things. If you touch their dead bodies, you will be“ unclean” until evening.If a person picks up one of their dead bodies, that person must wash their clothes. They will be“ unclean” until evening.“‘ Suppose an animal has hooves that are not separated completely in two. Or suppose an animal does not chew the cud. Then these animals are“ unclean” for you. If you touch the dead body of any of them, you will be“ unclean.”Many animals walk on all fours. But those that walk on their paws are“ unclean” for you. Anyone who touches their dead bodies will be“ unclean” until evening.If a person picks up their dead bodies, that person must wash their clothes. They will be“ unclean” until evening. These animals are“ unclean” for you.“‘ Many animals move along the ground. Here are the ones that are“ unclean” for you. They include weasels, rats and all kinds of large lizards.They also include geckos, monitor lizards, wall lizards, skinks and chameleons.These are the animals that move around on the ground that are“ unclean” for you. If you touch their dead bodies, you will be“ unclean” until evening.Suppose one of them dies and falls on something. Then that thing will be“ unclean.” It does not matter what it is used for. It does not matter whether it is made out of wood, cloth, hide or rough cloth. Put it in water. It will be“ unclean” until evening. After that, it will be“ clean.”Suppose one of these animals falls into a clay pot. Then everything in the pot will be“ unclean.” You must break the pot.Any food that could be eaten but has water on it that came from that pot is“ unclean.” And any liquid that could be drunk from it is“ unclean.”Anything that the dead body of one of these animals falls on becomes“ unclean.” If it is an oven or cooking pot, break it. It is“ unclean.” And you must consider it“ unclean.”But a spring or a well for collecting water remains“ clean.” That is true even if the dead body of one of these animals falls into it. But anyone who touches the dead body is not“ clean.”If the dead body falls on any seeds that have not been planted yet, the seeds remain“ clean.”But suppose water has already been put on the seeds. And suppose the dead body falls on them. Then they are“ unclean” for you.“‘ Suppose an animal you are allowed to eat dies. If anyone touches its dead body, they will be“ unclean” until evening.If they eat part of the dead body, they must wash their clothes. They will be“ unclean” until evening. If they pick up the dead body, they must wash their clothes. They will be“ unclean” until evening.

Or suppose someone makes a promise to do something without thinking it through. It does not matter what they promised. It does not matter whether they made the promise without thinking about it carefully. And suppose they are not aware that they did not think it through. When they find out about it, they will be guilty.

You who carry the objects that belong to the Lord’ s temple, leave Babylon! Leave it! Get out of there! Don’t touch anything that isn’t pure and“ clean.” Come out of Babylon and be pure.

So,“ Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch anything that is not pure and‘ clean.’ Then I will receive you.”( Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34, 41)

But who can know their own mistakes? Forgive my hidden faults.
