Graphic Bible · Scene 7 of 16

At the camp boundary near sunset, one Israelite who carried a small covered animal carcass washes his linen garment in a basin while another who touched it waits apart until evening. A living pawed desert animal and a partially divided-hoof animal remain distant as teaching examples, never as carcasses. No exposed dead animal, blood, gore, illness, labels, or public shaming.
