Leviticus 11:24-40 - Purification After Touching Dead Animals
24 And you shall be unclean for these. Whoever touches their dead body shall be unclean until the evening. 25 And whoever carries the carcass of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; 26 even every living thing which divides the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, they are unclean to you. Everyone that touches them shall be unclean. 27 And whatever goes on its paws, among all the living things that go on all four, those are unclean to you. Whoever touches their dead body shall be unclean until the evening. 28 And he that carries their dead bodies 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 swarming things that swarm on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind; 30 and the gecko, and the monitor, and the lizard, and the sand lizard, and chameleon.
31 These are unclean to you among all that swarm. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. 32 And whatever shall fall on any of them when they are dead, shall be unclean, whether any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack; whatever vessel in which work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean to the evening. So it shall be cleaned. 33 And every earthen vessel in which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean. And you shall break it. 34 Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water comes shall be unclean. And all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 35 And every thing on which any part of their dead body falls shall be unclean; whether it is the oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 36 But a fountain or pit, with a collection of water, shall be clean. But that which touches their dead body shall be unclean. 37 And if any of their dead body falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38 But if any water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body falls on it, it shall be unclean to you.
39 And if any animal among those you may eat dies, he that touches its dead body shall be unclean until the evening. 40 And he that eats of its dead body shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. He also that carries its body shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
