Old Testament (1402 B.C.): "Leviticus":
Leviticus 11:29: "These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard..."
Leviticus 11:30: "...the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon."
Note: In KJV, first mention is Leviticus 11:30. Some other translations mention lizards in Leviticus 11:29.
