31. These are they which are unclean to you amongst all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32. Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.
33. Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.
34. All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35. Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36. Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37. If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38. But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39. “‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40. He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41. “‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
42. Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43. You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.
44. For I am the Lord your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.
45. For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46. “‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,
47. to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
