Leviticus 11:14-43

¹⁴and a kite, and a vulture by his kind;

¹⁵and all the kind of ravens by his likeness;

¹⁶a struthio, and a night crow, and a lari, or a coot, and a hawk by his kind;

¹⁷an owl, and a dipper, and ciconia;

¹⁸a swan, and a cormorant, and a pelican;

¹⁹a falcon, and a jay by his kind; and a lapwing, and a rearmouse, or a bat.

²⁰All thing of fowls or insects that goeth on four feet, shall be abominable to you;

²¹soothly whatever thing goeth on four feet, but hath longer hips behind, by which it skippeth on the earth, ye shall eat;

²²as is a bruchus, that is, the fruit of locusts before it hath wings, in his kind, and accatus, that is, the fruit of locusts when it beginneth to have wings, and ophimachus, that is, a foul enemy to serpents, and a locust, all by their kind.

²³Forsooth whatever thing of birds or insects hath four feet only, it shall be abominable to you;

²⁴and whoever toucheth their bodies dead by themselves, shall be polluted, or defouled, and shall be unclean till to eventide;

²⁵and if it is need, that he bear any dead thing of these or them, he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean till to the going down of the sun.

²⁶Soothly each beast that hath a claw, but parteth not it, neither cheweth cud, shall be unclean; and whatever thing toucheth it, shall be defouled.

²⁷That that goeth on hands, of all beasts that go on four feet, shall be unclean; he that toucheth their bodies dead by themselves, shall be defouled till to eventide;

²⁸and he, that beareth such dead bodies, shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean till to eventide; for all these things be unclean to you.

²⁹Also these things shall be areckoned among defouled things, of these things that be moved on earth; a weasel, and a mouse, and a crocodile, each after his kind;

³⁰a migale, a chameleon, and a stellion, and a lacert, and a mouldwarp.

³¹All these be unclean; he that toucheth their bodies dead by them-selves, shall be unclean till to eventide;

³²and that thing shall be defouled, on which anything of their bodies dead by themselves falleth, as well a vessel of wood, and a cloth, as skins, or pilches, either hair-shirts; and in whatever thing work is made, it shall be dipped in water, and those things shall be defouled till to eventide, and so afterward they shall be cleansed.

³³Soothly a vessel of earth, in which anything of these falleth within, shall be defouled, and therefore it shall be broken.

³⁴Each meat, that ye shall eat, shall be unclean, if water of such a vessel is poured out thereon; and each flowing thing, that is drunken of such a vessel, shall be unclean;

³⁵and whatever thing of such dead bodies by themselves shall fall upon, it shall be unclean, whether furnaces, or kettles standing upon three feet, they shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.

³⁶Soothly wells and cisterns, and all the gatherings together of waters, shall be clean. He that toucheth their body dead by itself, shall be defouled.

³⁷If it falleth upon seed, it shall not defoul the seed;

³⁸soothly if any man sheddeth or pour out the seed with water, and afterward the water is touched with dead bodies by themselves, it shall be defouled anon.

³⁹If a beast is dead, which it is leaveful to you to eat, he that toucheth the dead body thereof shall be unclean till to eventide;

⁴⁰and he that eateth thereof anything, either beareth it, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean till to eventide.

⁴¹All thing that creepeth upon earth, shall be abominable, neither it shall be into meat.

⁴²Whatever thing goeth upon the breast, and on four feet, and hath many feet, either is drawn by the earth, ye shall not eat it, for it is abominable.

⁴³Do not ye defoul your souls, neither touch ye anything of them, lest ye be unclean;
