5A coney, which cheweth (the) cud, and parteth not the claw (or but its hoof is not divided), is unclean;
6and an hare, for also he cheweth (the) cud, but parteth not the claw (or but its hoof is not divided);
7and a swine, that cheweth not the cud, though he parteth the claw (or though its hoof is divided).
8Ye shall not eat the flesh of these beasts, neither ye shall touch their dead bodies, for those be unclean to you.
9Also these things be that be engendered in waters, and it is leaveful to eat; ye shall eat all things that have fins and scales, as well in the sea, as in the fresh floods, and standing waters; (And these things that be begotten in waters, it is lawful for ye to eat; ye shall eat all the things that have fins and scales, that be in the sea, as well as those that be in fresh water rivers, and lakes, and ponds;)
10soothly whatever thing of them that be moved and live in waters (or but whichever of them that move and live in water), (but) hath not fins and scales, shall be abominable, and loathsome to you;
11and ye shall not eat the flesh of those, and ye shall eschew their bodies dead by themselves. (and ye shall not eat their flesh, and ye shall shun their dead bodies.)
12All things in the waters that have not fins and scales, shall be polluted, (that is, defiled, or unclean).
13These things be of (the) fowls which ye shall not eat, and shall be eschewed of you (or and shall be shunned by you); an eagle, and a gripe, and an aliet,
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);
