Leviticus 11:28-43
New American Standard Bible
29‘Now these are to you the unclean among the swarming things which swarm on the earth: the mole, the mouse, and the great lizard in its kinds,
30the gecko, the crocodile, the lizard, the sand reptile, and the chameleon.
31These are to you the unclean among all the swarming things; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening.
32Also anything on which one of them may fall when they are dead becomes unclean, including any wooden article, or clothing, or a hide, or a sack—any article of which use is made—it shall be put in the water and be unclean until evening, then it becomes clean.
33As for any earthenware vessel into which one of them may fall, whatever is in it becomes unclean and you shall break the vessel.
34Any of the food which may be eaten, on which water comes, shall become unclean, and any liquid which may be drunk in every vessel shall become unclean.
35Moreover, everything on which part of their carcass may fall becomes unclean; an oven or a stove shall be smashed; they are unclean and shall continue as unclean to you.
36Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern collecting water shall be clean, though the one who touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37Now if a part of their carcass falls on any seed for sowing which is to be sown, it is clean.
38But if water is put on the seed and a part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39‘Also if one of the animals dies which you have for food, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening.
40He, too, who eats some of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening, and the one who picks up its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.
41‘Now every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is detestable, not to be eaten.
42Whatever crawls on its belly, and whatever walks on all fours, whatever has many feet, in regard to every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, you shall not eat them, because they are detestable.
43Do not make yourselves detestable through any of the swarming things that swarm; and you shall not make yourselves unclean with them so that you become unclean.
King James Version
Chapter 11
28And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you. 29These 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, 30And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 32And 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. 33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34Of 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. 35And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass 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. 36Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean. 37And if any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 41And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42Whatsoever 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. 43Ye 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.Christian Standard Bible
31These are unclean for you among all the swarming creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.
32When any one of them dies and falls on anything it becomes unclean—any item of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work. It is to be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.
33If any of them falls into any clay pot, everything in it will become unclean; you are to break it.
34Any edible food coming into contact with that unclean water will become unclean, and any drinkable liquid in any container will become unclean.
35Anything one of their carcasses falls on will become unclean. If it is an oven or stove, it is to be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.
36A spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but someone who touches a carcass in it will become unclean.
37If one of their carcasses falls on any seed that is to be sown, it is clean;
38but if water has been put on the seed and one of their carcasses falls on it, it is unclean for you.
39"If one of the animals that you use for food dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until evening.
40Anyone who eats some of its carcass is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.
41"All the creatures that swarm on the earth are abhorrent; they must not be eaten.
42Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet, for they are abhorrent.
43Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them.
New Living Translation
29Of the small animals that scurry along the ground, these are unclean for you: the mole rat, the rat, large lizards of all kinds,
30the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
31All these small animals are unclean for you. If any of you touch the dead body of such an animal, you will be defiled until evening.
32If such an animal dies and falls on something, that object will be unclean. This is true whether the object is made of wood, cloth, leather, or burlap. Whatever its use, you must dip it in water, and it will remain defiled until evening. After that, it will be ceremonially clean and may be used again.
33If such an animal falls into a clay pot, everything in the pot will be defiled, and the pot must be smashed.
34If the water from such a container spills on any food, the food will be defiled. And any beverage in such a container will be defiled.
35Any object on which the carcass of such an animal falls will be defiled. If it is an oven or hearth, it must be destroyed, for it is defiled, and you must treat it accordingly.
36However, if the carcass of such an animal falls into a spring or a cistern, the water will still be clean. But anyone who touches the carcass will be defiled.
37If the carcass falls on seed grain to be planted in the field, the seed will still be considered clean.
38But if the seed is wet when the carcass falls on it, the seed will be defiled.
39If an animal you are permitted to eat dies and you touch its carcass, you will be defiled until evening.
40If you eat any of its meat or carry away its carcass, you must wash your clothes, and you will remain defiled until evening.
41All small animals that scurry along the ground are detestable, and you must never eat them.
42This includes all animals that slither along on their bellies, as well as those with four legs and those with many feet. All such animals that scurry along the ground are detestable, and you must never eat them.
43Do not defile yourselves by touching them. You must not make yourselves ceremonially unclean because of them.

43You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps; nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them.
