Moreover, the soul that shall touch any unclean [thing], etc.] Person or thing, the dead body of a man, or the bone of a dead body, or a grave in which it was laid: as the uncleanness of man; the issue that runs from a profluvious person: or [any] unclean beast; that was so by the law ceremonial; (see Leviticus 11:4-8): <031104> or any abominable unclean thing; which the Targum of Jonathan interprets of every unclean reptile: (see <031120>Leviticus 11:20,24,29) and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which [pertain] unto the Lord, even that soul shall be cut off from his people; (see Gill on “<030720>Leviticus 7:20”).
