Contact with Deadly Carcasses

After God gives them instructions about discerning the clean and the unclean through what they are allowed to eat and what they cannot eat. He now gave instructions about what they are to do when the dead unclean touch things in the world, then the thing that it touches must be washed with water and it also will be unclean until evening. If it falls into a earthen vessel, that vessel is to be broken apart and anything that it contains is now unclean. Any clean food or drink in that vessel is now unclean and cannot be consumed. If it falls where there is much water or where the water is a spring and flowing, then the water is only unclean where that touches it. Seed becomes unclean by contact if it has been watered. If it is dry and waiting to be planted, it remains clean. God gave us these pictures of how contact with unclean things affect the world, so we can see how sinners affect the world around them
