²⁹ “‘These ·crawling [swarming] animals [^Canimals that move close to the ground] are unclean for you: moles, rats, all kinds of great lizards, ³⁰ geckos, crocodiles, lizards, sand reptiles, and chameleons [^Cidentification of some of these animals is uncertain]. ³¹ These ·crawling [swarming] animals are unclean for you [^Cprobably because they eat carrion or touch dead bodies]; anyone who touches their dead bodies will be unclean [^Cin a ritual sense] until evening.
