31. Among the various swarming creatures, these are unclean for you. Everyone who touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.
32. Everything on which one of them falls when dead becomes unclean, including any article of wood, cloth, leather or goat hair—any article of which use can be made. It must be immersed in water and remain unclean until evening, when it again becomes clean.
33. Should any of these creatures fall into a clay vessel, everything in it becomes unclean, and the vessel itself you must break.
34. Any food that can be eaten which makes contact with water, and any liquid that may be drunk, in any such vessel become unclean.
35. Any object on which any part of their carcasses falls becomes unclean; if it is an oven or stove, this must be broken to pieces; they are unclean and shall always be unclean to you.
36. However, a spring or a cistern for collecting water remains clean; but whoever touches such an animal’s carcass becomes unclean.
37. If any part of their carcasses falls on any sort of grain that is to be sown, it remains clean;
38. but if the grain has become moistened, it becomes unclean to you when any part of their carcasses falls on it.
39. When one of the animals that you could otherwise eat dies of itself, anyone who touches its carcass shall be unclean until evening;
40. and anyone who eats any part of its carcass shall wash his garments and be unclean until evening; so also, anyone who carries its carcass shall wash his garments and be unclean until evening.
41. All the creatures that swarm on the ground are loathsome and shall not be eaten.
