Contextual Overview

1And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, 2"Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they do not defile My holy Name in what they are hallowing to Me; I [am] YHWH. 3Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man who draws near, out of all your seed, to the holy things which the sons of Israel sanctify to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] on him—indeed, that person has been cut off from before My face; I [am] YHWH. 4Any man of the seed of Aaron, and he is leprous or has discharging—he does not eat of the holy things until he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him, 5or a man who comes against any teeming thing which is unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even any of his uncleanness— 6the person who comes against it has even been unclean until the evening, and does not eat of the holy things, but has bathed his flesh with water,7and the sun has gone in, and he has been clean, and afterward he eats of the holy things, for it [is] his food; 8he does not eat a carcass or torn thing, to become unclean with it; I [am] YHWH. 9And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that they have died for it when they defile it; I [am] YHWH sanctifying them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even,.... Which is the time fixed by the several laws for such uncleannesses, see Leviticus 11:31;

and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water; in forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan; yea, when the evening is come, he may not eat of the heave or wave offerings, until he has dipped himself all over in water; nor should any eat of the Lord's supper under the New Testament, but such as are first baptized in water.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The soul - Rather, the person. Compare the use of the word “body” in the Prayer Book version of Psalms 53:1, and in the compounds “somebody, nobody”.
