Leviticus 11:34-45 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

41. And everything that creeps on the ground and [multiplies in] swarms shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42. Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has more [than four] feet among all things that creep on the ground and swarm you shall not eat; for they are detestable.

43. You shall not make yourselves loathsome and abominable [by eating] any swarming thing that [multiplies by] swarms, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.

44. For I am the Lord your God; so consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am holy; neither defile yourselves with any manner of thing that multiplies in large numbers or swarms. [I Thess. 4:7, 8.]

45. For I am the Lord Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; therefore you shall be holy, for I am holy. [I Pet. 1:14-16.]
