Leviticus 11:27-38 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

27. That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.

28. And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean to you.

29. These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:

30. The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and the lizard, and the mole:

31. All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.

32. And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is done, they shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards shall be clean.

33. But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall fall, shall be defiled, and therefore is to be broken.

34. Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk out of any such vessel, shall be unclean.

35. And upon whatsoever thing any of these dead beasts shall fall, it shall be unclean: whether it be oven, or pots with feet, they shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.

36. But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings together of waters shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be defiled.

37. If it fall upon seed corn, it shall not defile it.

38. But if any man pour water upon the seed, and afterwards it be touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith defiled.
