'By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until evening;
25
whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening:
26
The carcass of any animal which divides the foot, but is not cloven-hoofed or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean.
27
And whatever goes on its paws, among all kinds of animals that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Whoever touches any such carcass shall be unclean until evening.
28
Whoever carries any such carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. It is unclean to you.
29
'These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the mole, the mouse, and the large lizard after its kind;
30
the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
31
These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.
32
Anything on which any of them falls, when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which any work is done, it must be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean.
33
Any earthen vessel into which any of them falls you shall break; and whatever is in it shall be unclean:
34
in such a vessel, any edible food upon which water falls becomes unclean, and any drink that may be drunk from it becomes unclean.
