They are unclean, and they will remain unclean to you. 36 But a spring or a cistern containing water will remain clean, though anyone who touches one of their carcasses will become unclean. 37 If one of their carcasses falls on any seed that is to be planted, it is clean. 38 But if water has been put on the seed and one of their carcasses falls on it, it is unclean to you. 39 If any animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until the evening. 40 Anyone who eats from its carcass must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. 41 Every swarming creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten. 42 You must not eat any creature that moves on its belly, or walks on four legs, or has many feet.

Do not defile yourselves with them, for you will become unclean through them. 44 For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not defile yourselves with any of the swarming creatures that move along the ground. 45 For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore, be holy, because I am holy. 46 These are the laws regarding animals, birds, every living creature that moves in the water, and every creature that moves along the ground. 47 You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.
