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.
