Contextual Overview

1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they hallow to me, and that they don't profane my holy name: I am Yahweh. 3 Say to them, Whoever he is of all your seed throughout your generations, that approaches to the holy things, which the sons of Israel hallow to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Yahweh. 4 Any man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper, or has a discharge; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has an emission of semen go out from him; 5 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or man who is unclean to him, whatever uncleanness he has; 6 the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water. 7 And when the sun has gone down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 8 That which dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Yahweh. 9 They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,....

saying; as follows.
