Leviticus 11:27-37

²⁷Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.

²⁸Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

²⁹And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

³⁰And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.

³¹All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

³²The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.

³³And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.

³⁴Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.

³⁵Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

³⁶But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.

³⁷If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;
