# General Information:

Yahweh begins to tell Moses and Aaron which animals the people are to consider unclean.

# You will become unclean until evening by these animals if you touch a carcass of one of them

This can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: "The dead bodies of these animals will make you unclean if you touch any of them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# You will become unclean

A person who is unacceptable for God's purposes because he has touched one of these dead animals is spoken of as if the person were physically unclean. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# these animals

This refers to the animals he is about to list in the following verses.
