20 Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you. 21 But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth, 22 That you shall eat: as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophimachus, and the locust, every, one according to their kind. 23 But of flying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you. 24 And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled: and shall be unclean until the evening: 25 And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead: he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set. 26 Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled. 27 That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening. 28 And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean to you. 29 These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he that beareth the carcass of them,.... Carries it upon any account, from place to place:

shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; as he that bore the carcasses of any of the flying creeping things, Leviticus 11:25

they are unclean to you; even the carcasses of the one and of the other; and to all the Israelites, men, women, and children, as Aben Ezra observes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Unclean - If the due purification was omitted at the time, through negligence or forgetfulness, a sin-offering was required. See Leviticus 5:2.
