Von dieser Fleisch sollt ihr nicht essen noch ihr Aas anrühren; denn sie sind euch unrein.
De la carne de ellos no comeréis, ni tocaréis su cuerpo muerto: tendréislos por inmundos.
No comerán su carne ni tocarán sus cadáveres; son impuros para ustedes.
Vous ne mangerez pas de leur chair, et vous ne toucherez pas leurs corps morts: vous les regarderez comme impurs.
Non mangiate della carne loro, e non toccate le lor carogne; sienvi immonde
Das suas carnes não comereis, nem tocareis nos seus cadáveres; estes vos serão imundos.
這些獸的肉,你們不可吃;牠們的屍體,你們也不可摸,對你們都是不潔淨的。
