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. 26As for all the animals which have a divided hoof but do not show a split hoof, or do not chew the cud, they are unclean to you; whoever touches them becomes unclean. 27Also 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, the mouse, and the ▼
▼Or thorn-tailed lizard
great lizard in its kinds, 30the gecko, the ▼▼Or lizard
crocodile, the lizard, the ▼▼Species as yet undefined
sand reptile, and the chameleon. 31These are to you the unclean among all the swarming things; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening. 32Also anything on which one of them may fall when they are dead becomes unclean, including any wooden article, or clothing, or a hide, or a sack --any article ▼▼Lit with which work is done
of which use is made-- fit shall be put in the water and be unclean until evening, then it becomes clean. 33As for any gearthenware vessel into which one of them may fall, whatever is in it becomes unclean and you shall break ▼▼Lit it
the vessel. 34Any of the ▼▼I.e., if touched by a carcass; cf. vv 29-32
food which may be eaten, on which water comes, shall become unclean, and any ▼▼I.e., if touched by a carcass; cf. vv 29-32
liquid which may be drunk in every vessel shall become unclean. 35Moreover, everything on which part of their carcass may fall becomes unclean; an oven or a ▼▼Lit hearth for supporting (two) pots
stove shall be smashed; they are unclean and shall continue as unclean to you. 36Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern ▼▼Lit a collecting place of
collecting water shall be clean, though the one who touches their carcass shall be unclean. 37Now if a part of their carcass falls on any seed for sowing which is to be sown, it is clean. 38But 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 mHe, 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.
