26
Every animal that has divided hoofs but is not cleft-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean for you; everyone who touches one of them shall be unclean.
27
All that walk on their paws, among the animals that walk on all fours, are unclean for you; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until the evening,
28
and the one who carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean for you.
29
These are unclean for you among the creatures that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, the great lizard according to its kind,
30
the gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
31
These are unclean for you among all that swarm; whoever touches one of them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32
And anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether an article of wood or cloth or skin or sacking, any article that is used for any purpose; it shall be dipped into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, and then it shall be clean.
33
And if any of them falls into any earthen vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break the vessel.
34
Any food that could be eaten shall be unclean if water from any such vessel comes upon it; and any liquid that could be drunk shall be unclean if it was in any such vessel.
35
Everything on which any part of the carcass falls shall be unclean; whether an oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall remain unclean for you.
36
But a spring or a cistern holding water shall be clean, while whatever touches the carcass in it shall be unclean.
