Leviticus 11:24-39

²⁴These creatures will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

²⁵and whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening.

²⁶Every animal with hooves not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. Whoever touches any of them will be unclean.

²⁷All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

²⁸and anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.

²⁹The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,

³⁰the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

³¹These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

³²When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.

³³If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot.

³⁴Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will be unclean.

³⁵Anything upon which one of their carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an oven or cooking pot, it must be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.

³⁶Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean.

³⁷If a carcass falls on any seed for sowing, the seed is clean;

³⁸but if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.

³⁹If an animal that you may eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean until evening.
