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);
28and he, that beareth such dead bodies, shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean till to eventide; for all these things be unclean to you.
29Also these things shall be areckoned among defouled things, of these things that be moved on earth (or of these things that move upon the ground); a weasel, and a mouse, and a crocodile, each after his kind;
30a migale, (and) a chameleon, and (a) stellion, and a lacert, and a mouldwarp.
31All these be unclean; he that toucheth their bodies dead by themselves (or he who toucheth their dead bodies), shall be unclean till to eventide;
32and that thing shall be defouled, on which anything of their bodies dead by themselves falleth, as well a vessel of wood, and a cloth, as skins, or pilches, either hair-shirts; and in whatever thing work is made, it shall be dipped in water, and those things shall be defouled till to eventide, and so afterward they shall be cleansed. (and anything shall be defiled, on which any of their dead bodies falleth, yea, a vessel of wood, or a cloak, or skins, or pilches, or hair-shirts, however they might be used; it shall be dipped in water, and shall remain defiled until the evening, and then it shall be clean again.)
33Soothly a vessel of earth, in which anything of these falleth within, shall be defouled, and therefore it shall be broken. (And an earthen, or a clay, vessel, in which any of these things falleth within, shall be unclean, and so it shall be broken.)
34Each meat, that ye shall eat, shall be unclean, if water of such a vessel is poured out thereon; and each flowing thing, that is drunken of such a vessel, shall be unclean; (Any food that ye shall eat, shall be unclean, if water from such a vessel is poured out onto it; and anything that is drunk from such a vessel, shall be unclean;)
35and whatever thing of such dead bodies by themselves shall fall upon (or and anything that a dead body of such a creature shall fall upon), it shall be unclean, whether furnaces, or kettles standing upon three feet, (and) they shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.
36Soothly wells and cisterns, and all the gatherings together of waters, shall be clean. He that toucheth their body dead by itself, shall be defouled, (or But whoever toucheth their dead body shall be defiled, or unclean).
37If it falleth upon (a) seed, it shall not defoul the seed;
38soothly if any man sheddeth out the seed with water, and afterward the water is touched with dead bodies by themselves, it shall be defouled anon. (but if anyone poureth out the seed with water, and afterward the seed is touched by their dead bodies, at once it shall be defiled, or unclean.)
