Leviticus 7:24

Context
7:24 Moreover, the fat of an animal that has died of natural causes 1  and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be used for any other purpose, 2  but you must certainly never eat it.

Leviticus 13:45

Context
The Life of the Person with Skin Disease

13:45 “As for the diseased person who has the infection, 3  his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache, 4  and he must call out ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

1 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, TEV “that has died a natural death.”

2 tn Heb “shall be used for any work”; cf. NIV, NLT “may be used for any other purpose.”

3 tn Heb “And the diseased one who in him is the infection.”

4 tn Heb “and his head shall be unbound, and he shall cover on [his] mustache.” Tearing one’s clothing, allowing the hair to hang loose rather than bound up in a turban, and covering the mustache on the upper lip are all ways of expressing shame, grief, or distress (cf., e.g., Lev 10:6 and Micah 3:7).
