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 (or and a divedapper), and (a) 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 that goeth on four feet, shall be abominable to you; (All creatures with wings, that is, insects, that go upon 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 (or by which it leapeth upon the ground), ye shall eat;

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

²³Forsooth whatever thing of birds (that) hath four feet only, it shall be abominable to you; (But all other creatures with wings that hath four feet, they 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; (and whoever toucheth their dead bodies, shall be polluted, or defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening;)

²⁵and if it is need, that he bear any dead thing of these, 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. (And each beast that hath a hoof, or a foot, but it is not parted, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean; and whatever thing that toucheth it, shall be defiled, or unclean.)

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, (or he who toucheth their dead bodies, shall be defiled, or unclean, until the evening);

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 (or of these things that move upon the ground); a weasel, and a mouse, and a crocodile, each after his kind;

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

³¹All these be unclean; he that toucheth their bodies dead by themselves (or he who toucheth their dead bodies), 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. (and anything shall be defiled, on which any of their dead bodies falleth, yea, a vessel of wood, or a cloak, or skins, or pilches, or hair-shirts, however they might be used; it shall be dipped in water, and shall remain defiled until the evening, and then it shall be clean again.)

³³Soothly a vessel of earth, in which anything of these falleth within, shall be defouled, and therefore it shall be broken. (And an earthen, or a clay, vessel, in which any of these things falleth within, shall be unclean, and so 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; (Any food that ye shall eat, shall be unclean, if water from such a vessel is poured out onto it; and anything that is drunk from such a vessel, shall be unclean;)

³⁵and whatever thing of such dead bodies by themselves shall fall upon (or and anything that a dead body of such a creature shall fall upon), it shall be unclean, whether furnaces, or kettles standing upon three feet, (and) 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, (or But whoever toucheth their dead body shall be defiled, or unclean).

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

³⁸soothly if any man sheddeth out the seed with water, and afterward the water is touched with dead bodies by themselves, it shall be defouled anon. (but if anyone poureth out the seed with water, and afterward the seed is touched by their dead bodies, at once it shall be defiled, or unclean.)

³⁹If a beast is dead, which it is leaveful to you to eat, (or If a beast dieth naturally, which it is lawful for 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. (All things that creep upon the ground, shall be abominable, and shall not be eaten.)

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. (Whatever thing goeth on its breast, or hath many feet, or draweth itself upon the ground, 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;
