^29–30Moles, rats, mice, and lizards must be considered unclean. ³¹Whoever touches them or their dead bodies will be unclean until evening. ³²And if their dead bodies fall on anything, it will be unclean. This applies to any article of wood, cloth, leather, or sacking, no matter what it is used for. It shall be dipped in water, but it will remain unclean until evening. ³³And if their bodies fall into a clay pot, everything that is in it shall be unclean, and you must break the pot. ³⁴Any food which could normally be eaten, but on which water from such a pot has been poured, will be unclean, and anything drinkable in such a pot is unclean. ³⁵Anything on which the dead bodies fall is unclean; a clay stove or oven shall be broken, ³⁶but a spring or a cistern remains clean, although anything else that touches their dead bodies is unclean. ³⁷If one of them falls on seed that is going to be sown, the seed remains clean. ³⁸But if the seed is soaking in water and one of them falls on it, the seed is unclean.

³⁹If any animal that may be eaten dies, anyone who touches it will be unclean until evening. ⁴⁰And if anyone eats any part of the animal, he must wash his clothes, but he will still be unclean until evening; anyone who carries the dead body must wash his clothes, but he will still be unclean until evening.
