Leviticus 11:24-40 - Purification After Touching Dead Animals
24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening. 25 And whoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. 26 The carcasses of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean to you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. 27 And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 28 And he that beareth the carcass of them 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 creeping animals that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise, after its kind, 30 And the ferret and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening. 32 And upon whatever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed. 33 And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drank in every such vessel, shall be unclean. 35 And every thing on which any part of their carcass falleth, shall be unclean; whether an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 36 Nevertheless, a fountain or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean. 37 And if any part of their carcass shall fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38 But if any water shall be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass shall fall on it, it shall be unclean to you.
39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 40 And he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
