Contextual Overview
20 Every flying swarming creature going on all four, it is an abomination to you. 21 Only, this you may eat of any swarming thing which flies, which goes on all four, which has legs above its feet, to leap with them on the earth; 22 these are those you may eat: the locusts according to its kind, and the bald locust according to its kind, and the long horned locust according to its kind, and the short horned grasshopper according to its kind. 23 But every swarming thing which flies, which has four feet, it is unclean to you. 24 And by these you shall be made unclean; any who touches their dead body is unclean until the evening. 25 And anyone who lifts up their dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening; 26 even every living thing which divides the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, and does not bring up the cud, they are unclean to you; anyone who touches them shall be unclean. 27 And any going on its paws among all the living things which go on all four, they are unclean to you; anyone who touches their dead body is unclean until the evening; 28 and he who lifts up their dead body shall wash his garments and shall be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you. 29 And these shall be unclean to you among the swarming things which swarm on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard according to its kind,

sowing seed: 1 Corinthians 15:37, 1 Peter 1:23, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 5:18
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if [any part] of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed that is to be sown,.... That which is selected from the other seed in order to be sown, and which is laid by and laid up for that purpose; should the carcass, or any part of the carcass of a creeping thing fall upon an heap of it, into a vessel in which it was put, as a dead mouse or the like:
[yet] it shall be clean; be fit for use and sown in the earth; because being cast into the earth, and dying and quickening there, and then springing up again in stalk and ear, it would go through various changes before it became the food of man: the Targum of Jonathan describes it, such as is sown in its dryness, or being dry; for if it was wetted it was unfit for use, as follows.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 37. Any sowing seed — If any part of an impure carcass fall accidentally on seed about to be sown, it shall not on that account be deemed unclean; but if the water put to the seed to prepare it for being sown, shall be touched by such impure carcass, the seed shall be considered as unclean, Leviticus 11:38. Probably this may be the meaning of these passages.
