4 (A)No man of the (a)descendants of Aaron, who is a leper or who has a discharge, may eat of the holy gifts until he is clean. (B)And if one touches anything made unclean by a corpse or if (C)a man has a seminal emission, 5 or (D)if a man touches any teeming things by which he is made unclean, or any man by whom he is made unclean, whatever his uncleanness; 6 a (b)person who touches any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy gifts unless he has bathed his (c)body in water.
