Leviticus 17:15

Context
Regulations for Eating Carcasses

17:15 “‘Any person 1  who eats an animal that has died of natural causes 2  or an animal torn by beasts, whether a native citizen or a foreigner, 3  must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening; then he becomes clean.

Leviticus 23:37

Context

23:37 “‘These are the appointed times of the Lord that you must proclaim as holy assemblies to present a gift to the Lord – burnt offering, grain offering, sacrifice, and drink offerings, 4  each day according to its regulation, 5 

1 tn Heb “And any soul” (נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh).

2 tn Heb “carcass,” referring to the carcass of an animal that has died on its own, not the carcass of an animal slaughtered for sacrifice or killed by wild beasts. This has been clarified in the translation by supplying the phrase “of natural causes”; cf. NAB “that died of itself”; TEV “that has died a natural death.”

3 tn Heb “in the native or in the sojourner.”

4 tn The LXX has “[their] burnt offerings, and their sacrifices, and their drink offerings.”

5 tn Heb “a matter of a day in its day”; NAB “as prescribed for each day”; NRSV, NLT “each on its proper day.”
