Leviticus 11:24-40 - Purification After Touching Dead Animals
24 and by these ye shall become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening. 25 And whoever bears [any] of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. 26 Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. 27 And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 28 And he who bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.
29 And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind, 30 and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31 These are those which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening. 32 And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shal 33 And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and ye shall break it. 34 All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean. 35 And everything upon which [any 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 fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean. 37 And if [any] of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. 38 But if water is put upon the seed, and [any] of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you.
39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it shall be unclean until the evening. 40 And he who eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
