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.
34. Of all the food [in one of these unclean vessels] which may be eaten, that on which such water comes shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk from every such vessel shall be unclean.
35. And everything upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether an oven, or pan with a lid, or hearth for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36. Yet a spring or a cistern or reservoir of water shall be clean; but whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37. If a part of their carcass falls on seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;
38. But if any water be put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it shall be unclean to you.
39. If any animal of which you may eat dies [unslaughtered], he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40. And he who eats of its carcass [ignorantly] shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
