Leviticus 11:40

And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening:

Clothes, and his whole body, either together or separate, as the Rabbins explain the law. (Selden, syn. 1:3.) If any one eat or touch these things, on purpose, he was liable to a more severe punishment, (Menochius) and his soul was defiled by disobedience, ver. 43. (Calmet)
