Leviticus 11:37-43 American Standard Version (ASV)

37. And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

38. But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.

39. And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.

40. And 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.

41. And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42. Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43. Ye 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.
