On the sixth day (God) brought forth from the earth seven clean beasts; their slaughter and the method of consumption are similar to the (rules observed) with a bird; and all the rest of the beasts in the field are entirely unclean.
He brought forth from the earth all kinds of abominations and creeping things, all of them are unclean. Such (creatures) which have been created from the earth, their life (or soul) and body are from the earth, and when they return they touch their dust at the place whence they were created, as it is said, "Thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust" (Ps. 104:29); and it is written, "And the spirit of the beast goes downward to the earth" (Eccles. 3:21).
