Leviticus 11:31

These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.

Cross-reference

Leviticus 11:8 gives the same rule for land animals — touching their carcasses makes unclean — this extends it to swarming creatures.

Leviticus 11:24 uses identical 'unclean until evening' wording for land animal carcasses — this applies the same formula to swarming things.

Leviticus 11:25 adds the requirement to wash clothes when carrying carcasses — a parallel but more detailed rule for land animals.

Leviticus 11:39 deals with clean animals that die naturally — also causing uncleanness, but from a different category of animals.

Leviticus 5:2 explicitly includes swarming carcasses in the guilt offering law — showing the consequence for accidental contact.

Numbers 19:11 handles human corpse contact — a longer, more severe uncleanness (7 days) compared to animal carcass uncleanness.

1 Samuel 20:26 Historical context

1 Samuel 20:26 shows Saul assuming David's absence is due to ritual uncleanness — a narrative application of this law.
