Leviticus 11:4-30

⁴“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

⁵The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

⁶The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

⁷The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.

⁸You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

⁹“‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.

¹⁰All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,

¹¹and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.

¹²Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.

¹³“‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

¹⁴the red kite, any kind of black kite,

¹⁵any kind of raven,

¹⁶the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

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

¹⁸the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

¹⁹the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

²⁰“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.

²¹Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.

²²Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.

²³But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.

²⁴“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

²⁵Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

²⁶“‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.

²⁷Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

²⁸He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

²⁹“‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

³⁰the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
