Leviticus 11:37-41 Common English Bible (CEB)

37. If any part of these animals’ dead bodies falls on seed that is to be planted, the seed is still clean.

38. But if water is poured on some seed and part of their dead bodies falls on it, it is unclean for you.

39. If one of the animals that you are allowed to eat dies naturally, anyone who touches its dead body will be unclean until evening.

40. Anyone who eats from the dead body must wash their clothes and will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries such a dead body must wash their clothes and will be unclean until evening.

41. Every creature that swarms on the earth is detestable; it must not be eaten.
