Torah

1 โ€Ž[1] ื•ื™ืืžืจ ื”' ืืœ ืžืฉื” ืืžื•ืจ ืืœ ื”ื›ื”ื ื™ื, what has been written earlier so that they will understand and instruct each other in the various categories of ritual impurities and contaminations, including the difference between ritually pure domestic beasts and birds, for these are the aspects of foremost concern to the priests on a regular basis as we read in 10,10-11 ื•ืœื”ื‘ื“ื™ืœ ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ืงื“ืฉ ื•ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ื—ื•ืœ, ื•ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ื˜ืžื ื•ื‘ื™ืŸ ื”ื˜ื”ื•ืจ ื•ืœื”ื•ืจื•ืช, โ€œand to separate the sacred from the profane, and the ritually impure, and between the ritually contaminated, and to teach these values.โ€

โ€Ž[2] ื•ืืžืจืช ืืœื™ื”ื, that the need to exercise caution in addition to these categories of the ritually pure and that which is not, also in regard to impurity conferred through contact with the dead as well as through desecrating their seed.

โ€Ž[3] ืœื ืคืฉ ืœื ื™ื˜ืžื ื‘ืขืžื™ื•, no one of the priestly caste must ritually defile himself through dead bodies belonging to his nation., i. e. any dead person who is not one of the seven family members for whose sake he is to ritually contaminate himself to arrange for their burial, etc.
