Leviticus 11:29–40

²⁹‘These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the mole, ^jthe mouse, and the large lizard after its kind; ³⁰the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon. ³¹These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever ^ktouches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening. ³²Anything on which any of them falls, when they are dead shall be ⁶unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which any work is done, ^lit must be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean. ³³Any ^mearthen vessel into which any of them falls ⁿyou shall break; and whatever is in it shall be unclean: ³⁴in such a vessel, any edible food upon which water falls becomes unclean, and any drink that may be drunk from it becomes unclean. ³⁵And everything on which a part of any such carcass falls shall be unclean; whether it is an oven or cooking stove, it shall be broken down; for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. ³⁶Nevertheless a spring or a cistern, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean, but whatever touches any such carcass becomes unclean. ³⁷And if a part of any such carcass falls on any planting seed which is to be sown, it remains clean. ³⁸But if water is put on the seed, and if a part of any such carcass falls on it, it becomes ⁷unclean to you.

³⁹‘And if any animal which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be ^ounclean until evening. ^40pHe who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.
