Leviticus 11:21-38 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

21. Yet you may eat from all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.

22. You may eat from any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket and any kind of grasshopper.

23. But all winged creeping things that have four feet are loathsome to you.

24. “Moreover, by these also you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcasses should be unclean until the evening.

25. Whoever carries any part of their carcass is to wash his clothes, and will be unclean until the evening.

26. “Every animal with a separating hoof but not split, or does not chew cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them will become unclean.

27. So whatever moves on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, is unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until the evening.

28. Whoever carries their carcasses, is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

29. “Among the creeping things that creep on the earth, the following are unclean to you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

30. the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink and the chameleon.

31. Among all that creep these are the ones that are unclean to you. Whoever touches them when they are dead, will be unclean until the evening.

32. Whatever falls on them when they are dead will become unclean, whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sackcloth. Whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it will be unclean until the evening, then it will be clean.

33. “Now if any of them falls into a clay pot, everything that is in it will become unclean, and you are to break it.

34. Any food that may be eaten but has water on it from such a pot will become unclean. Also any drink that may be drunk in any such pot will become unclean.

35. Everything on which part of their carcass falls will become unclean. An oven or stove for pots is to be broken in pieces. They are unclean and will be unclean to you.

36. Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern for collecting water will be clean, though anyone who touches their carcass will become unclean.

37. If part of a carcass falls on any seed for sowing that has yet to be sown, it is clean.

38. But if water is put on the seed, and part of a carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
