Leviticus 11:29-43

29“These creatures that swarm on the ground are unclean for you: weasels, mice, any kind of large lizard,

30geckos, monitor lizards, common lizards, skinks, and chameleons.

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

32When any one of them dies and falls on anything it becomes unclean — any item of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work. It is to be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.

33If any of them falls into any clay pot, everything in it will become unclean; you are to break it.

34Any edible food coming into contact with that unclean water will become unclean, and any drinkable liquid in any container will become unclean.

35Anything one of their carcasses falls on will become unclean. If it is an oven or stove, it is to be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.

36A spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but someone who touches a carcass in it will become unclean.

37If one of their carcasses falls on any seed that is to be sown, it is clean;

38but if water has been put on the seed and one of their carcasses falls on it, it is unclean for you.

39“If one of the animals that you use for food dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until evening.

40Anyone who eats some of its carcass is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.

41“All the creatures that swarm on the earth are abhorrent; they must not be eaten.

42Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet, for they are abhorrent.

43Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them.
