03:011:026 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is
not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one
that toucheth them shall be unclean.
03:011:027 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of
beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth
their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
03:011:028 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
03:011:029 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping
things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the
tortoise after his kind,
03:011:030 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the
snail, and the mole.
03:011:031 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever
doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
03:011:032 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth
fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or
raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is
done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the
even; so it shall be cleansed.
03:011:033 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
03:011:034 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water
cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such
vessel shall be unclean.
03:011:035 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth
shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be
broken down: for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
03:011:036 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of
water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be
unclean.
03:011:037 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed
which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
03:011:038 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their
carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
03:011:039 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth
the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
03:011:040 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the
carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
03:011:041 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall
be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
03:011:042 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon
all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that
creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an
abomination.
03:011:043 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping
thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with
them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
