25. and anyone who carries their carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until the evening.

26. "'All animals that divide the hoof but it is not completely split in two and do not chew the cud are unclean to you; anyone who touches them becomes unclean.
26. The carcasses of every H3605 beast H929 which H834 divideth H6536 the hoof H6541 , and is not H369 cloven H8156 H8157 -footed, nor H369 cheweth H5927 the cud H1625 , are unclean H2931 unto you : every one H3605 that toucheth H5060 them shall be unclean H2930 .
27. All that walk on their paws among all the creatures that walk on all fours are unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass will be unclean until the evening,
27. And whatsoever H3605 goeth H1980 upon H5921 his paws H3709 , among all manner H3605 of beasts H2416 that go H1980 on H5921 all four H702 , those H1992 are unclean H2931 unto you: whoso H3605 toucheth H5060 their carcass H5038 shall be unclean H2930 until H5704 the even H6153 .

28. And he that beareth H5375 H853 the carcass H5038 of them shall wash H3526 his clothes H899 , and be unclean H2930 until H5704 the even H6153 : they H1992 are unclean H2931 unto you.
29. "'Now this is what is unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm on the land: the rat, the mouse, the large lizard of any kind,
29. These H2088 also shall be unclean H2931 unto you among the creeping things H8318 that creep H8317 upon H5921 the earth H776 ; the weasel H2467 , and the mouse H5909 , and the tortoise H6632 after his kind H4327 ,

30. And the ferret H604 , and the chameleon H3581 , and the lizard H3911 , and the snail H2546 , and the mole H8580 .
31. These are the ones that are unclean to you among all the swarming things. Anyone who touches them when they die will be unclean until evening.
31. These H428 are unclean H2931 to you among all H3605 that creep H8318 : whosoever H3605 doth touch H5060 them , when they be dead H4194 , shall be unclean H2930 until H5704 the even H6153 .
32. Also, anything they fall on when they die will become unclean� any wood vessel or garment or article of leather or sackcloth. Any such vessel with which work is done must be immersed in water and will be unclean until the evening. Then it will become clean.
32. And upon H5921 whatsoever H3605 H834 any of H4480 them , when they are dead H4194 , doth fall H5307 , it shall be unclean H2930 ; whether it be any H4480 H3605 vessel H3627 of wood H6086 , or H176 raiment H899 , or H176 skin H5785 , or H176 sack H8242 , whatsoever H3605 vessel H3627 it be , wherein H834 any work H4399 is done H6213 , it must be put H935 into water H4325 , and it shall be unclean H2930 until H5704 the even H6153 ; so it shall be cleansed H2891 .
33. As for any clay vessel they fall into, everything in it will become unclean and you must break it.
33. And every H3605 earthen H2789 vessel H3627 , whereinto H834 H413 H8432 any of H4480 them falleth H5307 , whatsoever H3605 H834 is in H8432 it shall be unclean H2930 ; and ye shall break H7665 it.
34. Any food that may be eaten which becomes soaked with water will become unclean. Anything drinkable in any such vessel will become unclean.
34. Of all H4480 H3605 meat H400 which H834 may be eaten H398 , that on H5921 which H834 such water H4325 cometh H935 shall be unclean H2930 : and all H3605 drink H4945 that H834 may be drunk H8354 in every H3605 such vessel H3627 shall be unclean H2930 .
35. Anything their carcass may fall on will become unclean. An oven or small stove must be smashed to pieces; they are unclean, and they will stay unclean to you.
35. And every H3605 thing whereupon H834 H5921 any part of their carcass H4480 H5038 falleth H5307 shall be unclean H2930 ; whether it be oven H8574 , or ranges for pots H3600 , they shall be broken down H5422 : for they H1992 are unclean H2931 , and shall be H1961 unclean H2931 unto you.
36. However, a spring or a cistern which collects water will be clean, but one who touches their carcass will be unclean.
36. Nevertheless H389 a fountain H4599 or pit H953 , wherein there is plenty H4723 of water H4325 , shall be H1961 clean H2889 : but that which toucheth H5060 their carcass H5038 shall be unclean H2930 .
37. Now, if such a carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean,
37. And if H3588 any part of H4480 their carcass H5038 fall H5307 upon H5921 any H3605 sowing H2221 seed H2233 which H834 is to be sown H2232 , it H1931 shall be clean H2889 .
38. but if water is put on the seed and such a carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
38. But if H3588 any water H4325 be put H5414 upon H5921 the seed H2233 , and any part of their carcass H4480 H5038 fall H5307 thereon H5921 , it H1931 shall be unclean H2931 unto you.
39. "'Now if an animal that you may eat dies, whoever touches its carcass will be unclean until the evening.
39. And if H3588 any beast H929 , of H4480 which H834 ye may eat H402 , die H4191 ; he that toucheth H5060 the carcass H5038 thereof shall be unclean H2930 until H5704 the even H6153 .
40. One who eats from its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening, and whoever carries its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
40. And he that eateth H398 of the carcass H4480 H5038 of it shall wash H3526 his clothes H899 , and be unclean H2930 until H5704 the even H6153 : he also that beareth H5375 H853 the carcass H5038 of it shall wash H3526 his clothes H899 , and be unclean H2930 until H5704 the even H6153 .
41. Every swarming thing that swarms on the land is detestable; it must not be eaten.
41. And every H3605 creeping thing H8318 that creepeth H8317 upon H5921 the earth H776 shall be an abomination H8263 ; it shall not H3808 be eaten H398 .
42. You must not eat anything that crawls on its belly or anything that walks on all fours or on any number of legs of all the swarming things that swarm on the land, because they are detestable.
42. Whatsoever H3605 goeth H1980 upon H5921 the belly H1512 , and whatsoever H3605 goeth H1980 upon H5921 all four H702 , or whatsoever H3605 hath more H7235 feet H7272 among all H3605 creeping things H8318 that creep H8317 upon H5921 the earth H776 , them ye shall not H3808 eat H398 ; for H3588 they H1992 are an abomination H8263 .
43. Do not make yourselves detestable by any of the swarming things. You must not defile yourselves by them and become unclean by them,
43. Ye shall not H408 make yourselves abominable H8262 H853 H5315 with any H3605 creeping thing H8318 that creepeth H8317 , neither H3808 shall ye make yourselves unclean H2930 with them , that ye should be defiled H2930 thereby.
44. for I am the LORD your God and you are to sanctify yourselves and be holy because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any of the swarming things that creep on the ground,
44. For H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 your God H430 : ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves H6942 , and ye shall be H1961 holy H6918 ; for H3588 I H589 am holy H6918 : neither H3808 shall ye defile H2930 H853 yourselves H5315 with any manner H3605 of creeping thing H8318 that creepeth H7430 upon H5921 the earth H776 .
45. for I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, and you are to be holy because I am holy.
45. For H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 that bringeth you up H5927 H853 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , to be H1961 your God H430 : ye shall therefore be H1961 holy H6918 , for H3588 I H589 am holy H6918 .
46. This is the law of the land animals, the birds, all the living creatures that move in the water, and all the creatures that swarm on the land,
46. This H2063 is the law H8451 of the beasts H929 , and of the fowl H5775 , and of every H3605 living H2416 creature H5315 that moveth H7430 in the waters H4325 , and of every H3605 creature H5315 that creepeth H8317 upon H5921 the earth H776 :
47. to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between the living creatures that may be eaten and the living creatures that must not be eaten.'"
47. To make a difference H914 between H996 the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 , and between H996 the beast H2416 that may be eaten H398 and the beast H2416 that H834 may not H3808 be eaten H398 .
