Leviticus 11:36-38

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁶ Nevertheless a spring or a cistern holding water shall be clean; but whatever touches their carcass shall be unclean. ³⁷ And if any part of their carcass falls upon any seed for sowing that is to be sown, it is clean; ³⁸ but if water is put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
