Leviticus 11:29-43
29‘Now theseH2088 are to you the uncleanH2931 among the swarmingH8318 thingsH8318 which swarmH8317 on the earthH776: the moleH2467, the mouseH5909, and the 1greatH6632 lizardH6632 in its kindsH4327, 30the geckoH604, the 2crocodileH3581, the lizardH3911, the 3sandH2546 reptileH2546, and the chameleonH8580. 31TheseH428 are to you the uncleanH2931 among allH3605 the swarmingH8318 thingsH8318; whoeverH3605 touchesH5060 them when they are deadH4194 becomesH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 32Also anythingH3605 on whichH834 one of them may fallH5307 when they are deadH4194 becomesH2930 uncleanH2930, includingH4480 anyH3605 woodenH6086 articleH3627, orH176 clothingH899, orH176 a hideH5785, orH176 a sackH8242--anyH3605 articleH3627 4of whichH834 useH4399 is madeH6213--5it shall be putH935 in the waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153, then it becomesH2891 cleanH2891. 33As for anyH3605 6earthenwareH2789 vesselH3627 into whichH834 one of them may fallH5307, whateverH3605H834 is in it becomesH2930 uncleanH2930 and you shall breakH7665 7the vessel. 34AnyH4480H3605 of the 8foodH400 whichH834 may be eatenH398, on whichH834 waterH4325 comesH935, shall becomeH2930 uncleanH2930, and anyH3605 9liquidH4945 whichH834 may beH8354 drunkH8354 in everyH3605 vesselH3627 shall becomeH2930 uncleanH2930. 35Moreover, everythingH3605 on whichH834 part of their carcassH5038 may fallH5307 becomesH2930 uncleanH2930; an ovenH8574 or a 10stoveH3600 shall beH5422 smashedH5422; they are uncleanH2931 and shall continueH1961 as uncleanH2931 to you. 36NeverthelessH389, a springH4599 or a cisternH953 11collectingH4723 waterH4325 shall be cleanH2889, though the one who touchesH5060 their carcassH5038 shall beH2930 uncleanH2930. 37Now ifH3588 a part of their carcassH5038 fallsH5307 on anyH3605 seedH2233 for sowingH2221 whichH834 is to be sownH2232, it is cleanH2889. 38But ifH3588 waterH4325 is putH5414 on the seedH2233 and a part of their carcassH5038 fallsH5307 on it, it is uncleanH2931 to you.
39‘Also ifH3588 one of the animalsH929 diesH4191 whichH834 you have for foodH402, the one who touchesH5060 its carcassH5038 becomesH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 4012He, too, who eatsH398 someH4480 of its carcassH5038 shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153, and the one who picksH5375 upH5375 its carcassH5038 shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153.
41‘13Now everyH3605 swarmingH8318 thingH8318 that swarmsH8317 on the earthH776 is detestableH8263, not to be eatenH398. 42WhateverH3605 crawlsH1980 on its bellyH1512, and whateverH3605 walksH1980 on all foursH702, whateverH3605 hasH7235 manyH7235 feetH7272, in regard to everyH3605 swarmingH8318 thingH8318 that swarmsH8317 on the earthH776, you shall not eatH398 them, becauseH3588 they are detestableH8263. 4314Do not makeH8262 15yourselvesH5315 detestableH8262 through anyH3605 of the swarmingH8318 thingsH8318 that swarmH8317; and you shall not makeH2930 yourselves uncleanH2930 with them so that you becomeH2930 uncleanH2930.
