7:19

7:20

7:19	Any [sacrificial] flesh that comes in contact with something unclean may not be eaten; it must be burned in fire. Otherwise, any ritually clean person may eat the flesh. Vehabasar asher yiga bechol-tame lo ye'achel ba'esh yisaref vehabasar kol-tahor yochal basar.
7:20	But if any person eats the flesh of a peace sacrifice to God while still in a state of ritual uncleanliness, his soul will be cut off from his people. Vehanefesh asher-tochal basar mizevach hashlamim asher l'Adonay vetum'ato alav venichretah hanefesh hahi me'ameyha.

Commentary:

sacrificial flesh
(Rashi). The verse merely mentions 'flesh,' but in the desert, the only flesh eaten was sacrificial flesh (see Deuteronomy 12:15).
