11 (A)‘He who touches the dead [a]body of anyone shall be unclean seven days. 12 (B)He shall purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day; then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13 Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and (C)does not purify himself, (D)defiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because (E)the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; (F)his uncleanness is still on him.

Unclean Animals
24 ‘By these you shall become [a]unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until evening; 25 whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them (A)shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening: 26 The carcass of any animal which divides the foot, but is not cloven-hoofed or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean. 27 And whatever goes on its paws, among all kinds of animals that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Whoever touches any such carcass shall be unclean until evening. 28 Whoever carries any such carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. It is unclean to you.
29 ‘These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the mole, (B)the mouse, and the large lizard after its kind; 30 the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon. 31 These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever (C)touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening. 32 Anything on which any of them falls, when they are dead shall be [b]unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which any work is done, (D)it must be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean. 33 Any (E)earthen vessel into which any of them falls (F)you shall break; and whatever is in it shall be unclean: 34 in such a vessel, any edible food upon which water falls becomes unclean, and any drink that may be drunk from it becomes unclean. 35 And everything on which a part of any such carcass falls shall be unclean; whether it is an oven or cooking stove, it shall be broken down; for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean, but whatever touches any such carcass becomes unclean. 37 And if a part of any such carcass falls on any planting seed which is to be sown, it remains clean. 38 But if water is put on the seed, and if a part of any such carcass falls on it, it becomes [c]unclean to you.
39 ‘And if any animal which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be (G)unclean until evening.
