Or when there is a person who touches anything ceremonially unclean, whether the carcass of an unclean wild animal, or the carcass of an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing, even if he did not realize it, but he himself has become unclean and is guilty;

Since they are detestable to you, you must not eat their meat and their carcass you must detest.

"'By these you defile yourselves; anyone who touches their carcass will be unclean until the evening,

and anyone who carries their carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until the evening.

All that walk on their paws among all the creatures that walk on all fours are unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass will be unclean until the evening,

and the one who carries their carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.

Anything their carcass may fall on will become unclean. An oven or small stove must be smashed to pieces; they are unclean, and they will stay unclean to you.

However, a spring or a cistern which collects water will be clean, but one who touches their carcass will be unclean.

Now, if such a carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean,

but if water is put on the seed and such a carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

"'Now if an animal that you may eat dies, whoever touches its carcass will be unclean until the evening.

One who eats from its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening, and whoever carries its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
