Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia III · §3

Touching what is unclean

Whoever touches a carcass or what a beast has taken is unclean. Dead habits bring uncleanness. Learn to separate holy from unclean.

Latin

Anima quae tetigerit morticinum aut a fera captum immunda est. Conversatio mortua immunditiam affert. Separare sanctum ab immundo.
