Deuteronomy 26:14

I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, namely, while engaged in mourning for some dead person, for during that time the Israelite was Levitically unclean, neither have I taken away aught thereof for any unclean use, nor given aught thereof for the dead, namely, by sending it to some friend's house of mourning, for the use of the mourners, for the house where a dead person lay was regarded as unclean, and hence nothing consecrated to the Lord was permitted to enter; but I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
