Leviticus 11:24–40

²⁴‘By these, moreover, you will be made unclean: whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,

²⁵and ^awhoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.

²⁶‘Concerning all the animals which divide the hoof but do not make a split hoof or which do not chew cud, they are unclean to you: whoever touches them becomes unclean.

²⁷‘Also whatever walks on its paws, among all the creatures that walk on all fours, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,

²⁸and the one who picks up their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening; they are unclean to you.

²⁹‘Now these are to you the unclean among the swarming things which swarm on the earth: the mole and the mouse and the ¹great lizard in its kinds,

³⁰and the gecko and the ¹crocodile and the lizard and the ²sand reptile and the chameleon.

³¹‘These are to you the unclean among all the swarming things; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening.

³²‘Also anything on which one of them may fall when they are dead becomes unclean, including any wooden article or clothing or a skin or a sack—any article by which work is done—^ait shall be put in the water and be unclean until evening, then it becomes clean.

³³‘As for any ^aearthenware vessel into which one of them may fall, whatever is in it becomes unclean, and you shall break ¹the vessel.

³⁴‘Any of the ¹food which may be eaten, on which water comes, shall become unclean, and any ²liquid which may be drunk in every vessel shall become unclean.

³⁵‘Everything, moreover, on which part of their carcass may fall becomes unclean; an oven or a ¹stove shall be smashed; they are unclean and shall continue as unclean to you.

³⁶‘Nevertheless a spring or a cistern ¹collecting water shall be clean, though the one who touches their carcass shall be unclean.

³⁷‘And if a part of their carcass falls on any seed for sowing which is to be sown, it is clean.

³⁸‘Though if water is put on the seed and a part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

³⁹‘Also if one of the animals dies which you have for food, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening.

⁴⁰‘^aHe too, who eats some of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening, and the one who picks up its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.
