22. Of these you may eat: the whole species of locust, of bald locust, of cricket, and of grasshopper. [Matt. 3:4.]
23. But all other winged insects which have four feet shall be detestable to you.
24. And by [contact with] these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening,
25. And whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
26. Every beast which parts the hoof but is not cloven-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you; everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27. And all that go on their paws, among all kinds of four-footed beasts, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening,
28. And he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.
29. These also are unclean to you among the creeping things [that multiply greatly] and creep upon the ground: the weasel, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,
30. The gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
31. These are unclean to you among all that creep; whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32. And upon whatever they may fall when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it is an article of wood or clothing or skin (bottle) or sack, any vessel in which work is done; it must be put in water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.
33. And every earthen vessel into which any of these [creeping things] falls, whatever may be in it shall be unclean, and you shall break the vessel.
