Unclean Animals

²⁴ ‘By these you shall become ^[a]unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them 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.

³¹ These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever ^(A)touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

³⁹ ‘And if any animal which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be ^(A)unclean until evening.

^11 (A)‘He who touches the dead ^[a]body of anyone shall be unclean seven days. ^12 (B)He shall purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean. ¹³ Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and ^(C)does not purify himself, ^(D)defiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because ^(E)the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; ^(F)his uncleanness is still on him.

¹⁴ ‘This is the law when a man dies in a tent: All who come into the tent and all who are in the tent shall be unclean seven days; ¹⁵ and every ^(G)open vessel, which has no cover fastened on it, is unclean. ^16 (H)Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

⁸ Also the swine is unclean for you, because it has cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud; you shall not eat their flesh ^(A)or touch their dead carcasses.
