Leviticus 11:31-38
New English Translation

31 These are the ones that are unclean to you among all the swarming things. Anyone who touches these creatures[a] when they die will be unclean until evening. 32 Also, anything they fall on[b] when they die will become unclean—any wood vessel or garment or article of leather or sackcloth. Any such vessel with which work is done must be immersed in water[c] and will be unclean until the evening. Then it will become clean. 33 As for any clay vessel they fall into,[d] everything in it[e] will become unclean and you must break it. 34 Any food that may be eaten which becomes soaked with water[f] will become unclean. Anything drinkable[g] in any such vessel will become unclean.[h] 35 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[i] to you. 36 However, a spring or a cistern which collects water[j] will be clean, but one who touches the creature’s carcass will be unclean. 37 Now, if such a carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown,[k] it is clean, 38 but if water is put on the seed and such a carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
