And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

36

Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

37

And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

38

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Levitical Dietary Law

The verse is not about dietary law, but about ritual purity regarding contact with dead animals and its effect on seeds. It states that if a carcass falls on sowing seed, the seed remains clean, implying it can still be used for planting, not for eating. Dietary laws concern what can or cannot be consumed.
