“‘By these ¹  you defile yourselves; anyone who touches their carcass will be unclean until the evening,

One who eats from its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening, and whoever carries its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

Since they are detestable to you, you must not eat their meat and their carcass you must detest.

and anyone who carries their carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until the evening.

He scooped it up with his hands and ate it as he walked along. When he returned ¹  to his father and mother, he offered them some and they ate it. But he did not tell them he had scooped the honey out of the lion’s carcass. ²
