Verse 13
A second question was, if someone who has become unclean, for example by touching a corpse, touches food of any kind, will the food become unclean? The answer was, yes it would become unclean. The Mosaic Law taught that moral uncleanness could be transmitted, but moral cleanness could not (cf. Leviticus 6:18; Leviticus 22:4-6; Numbers 19:11-16). The same principle applies, by the way, in the area of physical health today. A sick person can transmit his or her illness to healthy people and make them sick, but a healthy person cannot transmit his or her health to sick people and make them well.
"The long disobedience of the nation rendered their work unprofitable before God." [Note: The New Scofield Reference Bible, p. 962.]
