Leviticus 11:21-34

²¹But you are permitted to eat creatures with wings that sometimes walk on the ground if they have jointed legs for hopping around.

²²They include locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers.

²³But you must detest and not eat other insects with wings that have four legs.

²⁴There are certain creatures that if you touch their carcasses you will become defiled. Anyone who touches their carcasses must not touch other people until that evening.

²⁵Anyone who picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes and not touch other people until that evening.

²⁶The animals whose carcasses you must not touch are those that have hooves that are not completely divided or animals that do not chew their cuds. Anyone who touches the carcasses of any of those animals becomes ◄defiled/unacceptable to me►.

²⁷From all the animals that walk on the ground, you must not touch the carcasses of those that have paws to walk on. Anyone who touches one of their carcasses must not touch other people until that evening.

²⁸Anyone who picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes and not touch other people until that evening, because touching their carcasses ◄defiles you/causes you to become unacceptable to me►.

²⁹From all the animals that walk on the ground, these are the ones that ◄defile you/cause you to become unacceptable to me► if you touch them: Moles, rats, any kind of lizard,

³⁰geckos, skinks, and chameleons.

³¹Those creatures that crawl along the ground ◄defile you/cause you to become unacceptable to me►; anyone who touches one of their carcasses must not touch other people until the evening.

³²When one of those creatures dies and falls on something, the thing that it falls on, whatever it is used for, will become ◄defiled/unacceptable to me►, whether it is made of wood or cloth or the hide of some animal or from rough cloth. You must put it in water. Then you must not use it until that evening.

³³If one of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it becomes defiled, and you must break that pot into pieces.

³⁴If you pour water from that pot on any food, you must not eat that food. And you must not drink any water from that pot.
