Leviticus 11:20-33 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

20. All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination to you.

21. Yet these may ye eat, of every flying creeping animal that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;

22. Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

23. But all other flying creeping animals, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.

24. And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.

25. And whoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

26. The carcasses of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean to you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27. And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

28. And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean to you.

29. These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping animals that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise, after its kind,

30. And the ferret and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

31. These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

32. And upon whatever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

33. And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
