'Swarming' in the Bible

Or if someone touches anything unclean—a carcass of an unclean wild animal, or unclean livestock, or an unclean swarming creature—without being aware of it, he is unclean and guilty.

But these are to be detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales among all the swarming things and other living creatures in the water.

"'Every winged swarming thing that walks on all fours is detestable to you.

However, this you may eat from all the winged swarming things that walk on all fours, which have jointed legs to hop with on the land.

But any other winged swarming thing that has four legs is detestable to you.

"These are unclean for you among the swarming creatures that crawl over the land: the rat, mouse, lizards of every kind,

These are unclean for you among all the swarming creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.

"Every swarming thing that swarms the land is detestable for you. It is not to be eaten.

You are not to eat anything that crawls on its belly, anything that walks on four legs, anything that has many legs, or any of the swarming creatures that swarm the land, because they're detestable.

You are not to make yourselves detestable on account of any swarming creature that swarms the land, and you are not to defile yourselves and become unclean due to them,

For I am Yahweh your God, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground.

or whoever touches any swarming creature that makes him unclean or any person who makes him unclean—whatever his uncleanness—
