Leviticus 11:37-43 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

37. If it falls upon seed grain, it shall not defile it.

38. But if anyone has poured water upon the seed grain, and afterwards it was touched by the carcasses, it shall be immediately defiled.

39. If any animals will have died, from which it is lawful for you to eat, whoever will have touched its carcass shall be unclean until evening.

40. And whoever will have eaten or carried anything of these shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until evening.

41. All that creeps across the earth shall be abominable, neither shall it taken up as food.

42. Whatever advances by four feet upon the chest, or that has many feet, or that drags across the soil, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.

43. Do not be willing to contaminate your souls, nor shall you touch any of these, lest you become unclean.
