Leviticus 11:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ “ ‘You will make yourselves “unclean” if you eat these things. If you touch their dead bodies, you will be “unclean” until evening. 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.”
