Wenn jemand heiliges Fleisch trüge in seines Kleides Zipfel und rührte darnach an mit seinem Zipfel Brot, Gemüse, Wein, Öl oder was es für Speise wäre: würde es auch heilig? und die Priester antworteten und sprachen: Nein.
Si llevare alguno las carnes sagradas en la falda de su ropa, y con el vuelo de ella tocare el pan, o la vianda, o el vino, o el aceite, u otra cualquier comida, ¿será santificado? Y respondieron los sacerdotes, y dijeron: No.
Si quelqu'un porte dans le pan de son vêtement de la chair consacrée, et qu'il touche avec son vêtement du pain, des mets, du vin, de l'huile, ou un aliment quelconque, ces choses seront-elles sanctifiées? Les sacrificateurs répondirent: Non!
Se un uomo porta della carne consacrata nel lembo del suo vestimento, e tocca col suo lembo del pane, o della polta, o del vino, o dell’olio, o qualunque altra vivanda, sarà quella santificata? E i sacerdoti risposero, e dissero: No.
Se alguém leva carne santa na orla das suas vestes, e com ela tocar no pão, ou no guisado, ou no vinho, ou no azeite, ou em outro qualquer mantimento, porventura ficará isto santificado? E os sacerdotes responderam: Não.
