If you have decided to translate this oracle so that it does not contain direct quotations within a quotation, you can translate this verse as an indirect quotation, continuing the sentence that begins in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “whether bread or stew or wine or oil or any other food becomes holy if a man carries holy flesh in the fold of his garment and he touches with his fold upon it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

Yahweh is using a hypothetical situation in order to teach. Alternate translation: “Suppose a man carries holy flesh in the fold of his garment. And suppose that man touches bread or stew or wine or oil or any other food with that fold. Would that make the food holy?”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּשַׂר־קֹ֜דֶשׁ

meat consecrated

The expression holy flesh refers implicitly to meat that has been offered to Yahweh as a sacrifice. Only priests could eat such meat. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “meat that is set apart for the priests to eat because it has been offered to Yahweh as a sacrifice”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לֹֽא

not

The priests mean implicitly that while touching holy flesh makes a person “holy” (and therefore conveys certain privileges but also makes the person subject to certain restrictions, see Leviticus 6:27), that person does not communicate this holy state to objects that he touches. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: “No, a person who becomes holy by touching meat sacrificed to Yahweh does not communicate that holy state to objects that he touches’”
