Leviticus 11:29-44

29And these are they which are uncleanH2931 unto you among the creeping thingsH8318 that creep upon the earthH776: the weasel, and the mouseH5909, and the great lizard after its kindH4327, 30and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon. 31These are they which are uncleanH2931 to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touchH5060 them, when they are dead, shall be uncleanH2931 until the even. 32And upon whatsoever any of them, whenH834 they are dead, doth fallH5307, it shall be uncleanH2930; whether it be any vesselH3627 of woodH6086, or raiment, or skinH5785, or sackH8242, whatsoever vesselH3627 it be, wherewith any workH4399 is done, it must be put into waterH4325, and it shall be uncleanH2930 until the even; then shall it be cleanH2891. 33And every earthen vesselH3627, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be uncleanH2930, and it ye shall breakH7665. 34All foodH400 therein which may be eatenH398, that on which waterH4325 cometh, shall be uncleanH2930; and all drinkH8354 that may be drunkH8354 in every such vesselH3627 shall be uncleanH2930. 35And every thing whereupon any part of their carcassH5038 falleth shall beH1961 uncleanH2931; whether ovenH8574, or range for pots, it shall beH1961 brokenH5422 in pieces: they are uncleanH2931, and shall beH1961 uncleanH2931 unto you. 36NeverthelessH389 a fountain or a pitH953 wherein isH1961 a gathering of waterH4325 shall beH1961 cleanH2889: but that which toucheth their carcassH5038 shall beH1961 uncleanH2930. 37And if aught of their carcassH5038 fallH5307 upon any sowing seedH2233 which is to be sownH2232, it is cleanH2889. 38But if waterH4325 be putH5414 upon the seedH2233, and aught of their carcassH5038 fallH5307 thereon, it is uncleanH2931 unto you.

39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dieH4191; he that toucheth the carcassH5038 thereof shall be uncleanH2930 until the even. 40And he that eateth of the carcassH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the even: he also that beareth the carcassH5038 of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the even.

41And every creeping thingH8318 that creepeth upon the earthH776 is an abomination; it shall not be eatenH398. 42Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all foursH702, or whatsoever hath manyH7235 feetH7272, even all creeping things that creep upon the earthH776, them ye shall not eatH398; for they are an abomination. 43Ye shall not makeH2930 yourselves abominable with any creeping thingH8318 that creepeth, neither shall ye makeH2930 yourselves uncleanH2930 with them, that ye should be defiledH2930 thereby. 44For I am Jehovah your GodH430: sanctifyH6942 yourselves therefore, and beH1961 ye holyH6918; for I am holyH6918: neither shall ye defileH2930 yourselves with any manner of creeping thingH8318 that moveth upon the earthH776.
