God’s Word Translation
Leviticus 11:31-40
31Among all the swarming creatures that move on the ground, these are unclean for you. Whoever touches their dead bodies will be unclean until evening.
32When the dead body of one of these creatures falls on something, that thing will be unclean. It may be a wooden article, clothing, leather, a sack, or anything used for any purpose. It should be put in water and will be unclean until evening. Then it will be clean ⌞again⌟.
33“If any of these creatures falls into a piece of pottery, break the pottery because everything in it is unclean.
34If water ⌞from that pottery⌟ touches any food, the food is unclean. Any liquid that you drink from that pottery is unclean.
35Anything on which their dead bodies fall is unclean. If it is an oven or a stove, smash it. It is unclean and will remain unclean for you.
36However, a spring or a cistern holding water will remain clean. But anyone who touches their dead bodies will be unclean.
37If their dead bodies fall on seed that is to be planted, the seed is clean.
38But if water is poured on the seed and their dead bodies fall on it, the seed is unclean for you.
39“When any animal that you are allowed to eat dies, whoever touches its dead body will be unclean until evening.
40Those who eat any of its dead body must wash their clothes and will be unclean until evening. Those who carry its dead body away will wash their clothes and will be unclean until evening.
