Leviticus 11:39

39 If an animal of which you may eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

Leviticus 11:39 In-Context

37 If any part of their carcass falls upon any seed set aside for sowing, it is clean;
38 but if water is put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.
39 If an animal of which you may eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40 Those who eat of its carcass shall wash their clothes and be unclean until the evening; and those who carry the carcass shall wash their clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41 All creatures that swarm upon the earth are detestable; they shall not be eaten.
