Leviticus 11:14-43

¹⁴and the vulture, and the kite after its kind,

¹⁵every raven after its kind,

¹⁶and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind,

¹⁷and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

¹⁸and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

¹⁹and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

²⁰'Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four — an abomination it is to you.

²¹'Only — this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;

²²these of them ye do eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind;

²³and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet — an abomination it is to you.

²⁴'And by these ye are made unclean, any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean till the evening;

²⁵and anyone who is lifting up aught of their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening: —

²⁶even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and the cud is not bringing up — unclean they are to you; any one who is coming against them is unclean.

²⁷'And any one going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four — unclean they are to you; any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean until the evening;

²⁸and he who is lifting up their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean until the evening — unclean they are to you.

²⁹'And this is to you the unclean among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,

³⁰and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;

³¹these are the unclean to you among all which are teeming; any one who is coming against them in their death is unclean till the evening.

³²'And anything on which any one of them falleth, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and hath been unclean till the evening, then it hath been clean;

³³and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which any one of them falleth, all that is in its midst is unclean, and it ye do break.

³⁴'Of all the food which is eaten, that on which cometh such water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any such vessel is unclean;

³⁵and anything on which any of their carcase falleth is unclean (oven or double pots), it is broken down, unclean they are, yea, unclean they are to you.

³⁶'Only — a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcase is unclean;

³⁷and when any of their carcase falleth on any sown seed which is sown — it is clean;

³⁸and when water is put on the seed, and any of its carcase hath fallen on it — unclean it is to you.

³⁹'And when any of the beasts which are to you for food dieth, he who is coming against its carcase is unclean till the evening;

⁴⁰and he who is eating of its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening.

⁴¹'And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;

⁴²any thing going on the belly, and any going on four, unto every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth — ye do not eat them, for they are an abomination;

⁴³ye do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do ye make yourselves unclean with them, so that ye have been unclean thereby.
