36Neuerthelesse, a fountaine or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkasse shalbe vncleane. 37And if any part of their carkasse fall vpon any sowing seed which is to be sowen, it shalbe cleane: 38But if any water be put vpon the seed, and any part of their carkasse fall thereon, it shalbe vncleane vnto you. 39And if any beast of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carkasse thereof, shall be vncleane vntill the Euen. 40And hee that eateth of the carkasse of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the Euen: he also that beareth the carkasse of it, shal wash his clothes, and bee vncleane vntill the Euen.
