Leviticus 11:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ If a person picks up one of their dead bodies, that person must wash their clothes. They will be “unclean” until evening.

²⁶ “ ‘Suppose an animal has hooves that are not separated completely in two. Or suppose an animal does not chew the cud. Then these animals are “unclean” for you. If you touch the dead body of any of them, you will be “unclean.” ²⁷ Many animals walk on all fours. But those that walk on their paws are “unclean” for you. Anyone who touches their dead bodies will be “unclean” until evening.
