Leviticus 11:1-38

¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

²Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.

³Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts — that shall ye eat.

⁴Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

⁵and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

⁶and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

⁷and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you.

⁸Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.

⁹These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;

¹⁰but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters — they shall be an abomination unto you.

¹¹They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.

¹²Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.

¹³And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

¹⁴and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind;

¹⁵every raven after its kind;

¹⁶and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;

¹⁷and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,

¹⁸and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,

¹⁹and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

²⁰Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.

²¹Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.

²²These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.

²³But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.

²⁴And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

²⁵And whoever carrieth ought of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

²⁶Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

²⁷And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

²⁸And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.

²⁹And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;

³⁰and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.

³¹These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

³²And on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done — it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.

³³And every earthen vessel into which any of them falleth — whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

³⁴All food that is eaten on which such water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every such vessel.

³⁵And everything where upon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

³⁶Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

³⁷And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;

³⁸but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
