2“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3You may eat any animal that has a split hoof and that also chews the cud.
4However, some animals either chew the cud or have a split hoof, and you must not eat them, animals such as the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof. So the camel is unclean to you.
5Also the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is also unclean to you.
6The rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not have a split hoof, is unclean to you.
7The pig, although it has a split hoof, does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8You must not eat any of their meat, nor touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.
9The animals living in the water that you may eat are all those that have fins and scales, whether in the ocean or in the rivers.
10But all living creatures that do not have fins and scales in the ocean or rivers, including all that move in the water and all the living creatures that are in the water— they must be detested by you.
11Since they must be detested, you must not eat of their meat; also, their carcasses must be detested.
12Whatever has no fins or scales in the water must be detested by you.
13The birds you must detest and that you must not eat are these: the eagle, the vulture,
14the kite, any kind of falcon,
15every kind of raven,
16the horned owl and the screech owl, the seagull, and any kind of hawk.
17You must also detest the little owl and the great owl, the cormorant,
18the white owl and the barn owl, the osprey,
19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and also the bat.
20All winged insects that walk on four legs are detestable to you.
21Yet you may eat any of the flying insects that also walk on four legs if they have jointed legs for hopping on the ground.
22You may also eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper.
23But all the flying insects that have four feet must be detested by you.
24You will become unclean until evening by these animals if you touch a carcass of one of them.
25Whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes and remain unclean until evening.
26Every animal which has a split hoof that is not completely divided or which does not chew the cud is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them will be unclean.
27Whatever walks on its paws among all the animals that walk on all four legs, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches such a carcass will be unclean until the evening.
28Whoever picks up such a carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. These animals will be unclean to you.
29Of the animals that creep on the ground, these are the animals that will be unclean to you: the weasel, the rat, every kind of large lizard,
30the gecko, the monitor lizard, the lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
31Of all the animals that creep, these are the animals which will be unclean to you. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.
32If any of them dies and falls on anything, that thing will be unclean, whether it is made of wood, cloth, leather, or sackcloth. Whatever it is and whatever it is used for, it must be put into water; it will be unclean until evening. Then it will be clean.
33For every clay pot into or onto which any unclean animal falls, whatever is in the pot will become unclean, and you must destroy that pot.
34Any food that could be eaten but has water on it from such a pot is unclean. Any liquid that is for drinking from such a pot is unclean.
35Anything that one of their carcasses falls on becomes unclean; if it is an oven or small stove, it must be broken to pieces. They are unclean and they must remain unclean to you.
