Leviticus 11:2-35

²Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.

³You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.

⁴But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.

⁵And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.

⁶And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.

⁷And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.

⁸Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

⁹These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.

¹⁰All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;

¹¹They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.

¹²Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you.

¹³And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

¹⁴And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort;

¹⁵Every raven, and birds of that sort;

¹⁶And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;

¹⁷And the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl;

¹⁸And the water-hen and the pelican and the vulture;

¹⁹The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.

²⁰Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;

²¹But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;

²²Such as all the different sorts of locust.

²³But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you.

²⁴By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:

²⁵Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening.

²⁶Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean.

²⁷Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.

²⁸Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.

²⁹And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

³⁰And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.

³¹All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

³²The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.

³³And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.

³⁴Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.

³⁵Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.
