20. All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination unto you.
21. Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth.
22. Even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23. But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.
24. And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;
25. And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26. Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
27. And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
28. And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
29. And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,
30. and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31. These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32. And 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, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
33. And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
34. All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every
35. And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
36. Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
