1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. 3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.

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. 5 The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you. 6 The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you. 7 The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. 8 You 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. 10 All 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, 11 and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses. 12 Whatever 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, 14 the red kite, any kind of black kite, 15 any kind of raven, 16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, 17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, 19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20 "‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you. 21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth. 22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper. 23 But 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. 25 Whoever 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. 27 Whatever 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. 28 He 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, 30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon. 31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. 32 Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean. 33 Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it. 34 All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 35 Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean. 37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. 38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

39 "‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 40 He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

41 "‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten. 42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination. 43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them. 44 For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth. 45 For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 "‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, 47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’"

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, These [are] the animals which ye shall eat among all the animals that [are on the earth.

3 Whatever divides the hoof and is clovenfooted [and] chews the cud, among the animals, that shall you eat.

4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the hoof: the camel because it chews the cud but divides not the hoof; it [is] unclean unto you.

5 And the coney because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it [is] unclean unto you.

6 And the hare because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it [is] unclean unto you.

7 And the swine though it divides the hoof and is clovenfooted, yet it chews not the cud: it [is] unclean to you.

8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcase you shall not touch: they [are] unclean to you.

9 These shall you eat of all that [are] in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, those shall you eat.

10 But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of any reptile in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination unto you;

11 they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.

12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination unto you.

13 And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [shall be] an abomination: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray,

14 the vulture, and the kite according to his species,

15 every raven according to his species,

16 the owl, the night hawk, the cuckow, and the hawk according to his species;

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

18 the swan, the pelican, the gier eagle,

19 the stork, the heron according to her species, the lapwing, and the bat.

20 Every flying insect that creeps, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto you.

21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying insect that goes upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with them upon the earth;

22 these of them ye may eat: the locust according to his species and the bald locust according to his species and the beetle according to his species and the grasshopper according to his species.

23 But all [other] flying insects, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you.

24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.

25 And whoever bears [any part] of their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

26 [The carcasses] of every animal which divides the hoof and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, [are] unclean unto you; everyone that touches them shall be unclean.

27 And of all the animals that go on [all] four, any that walk upon their paws are unclean unto you; whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.

28 And he that bears their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they [are] unclean unto you.

29 These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the animals that creep upon the earth: the weasel and the mouse and the frog according to his species

30 and the ferret and the lizard and the snail and the slug and the mole.

31 These [are] unclean to you among all the animals; whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

32 And everything upon which [any] of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether [it be] any vessel of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever instrument with which work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; and thus [it shall be] cleansed.

33 And every earthen vessel into which [any] of them falls, whatever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break the [vessel].

34 All food which may be eaten upon which shall come water from [any such vessel] shall be unclean; and any drink that may be drunk shall be unclean in every [such] vessel.

35 And everything upon which [any part] of their carcase falls shall be unclean: the oven or the chimney shall be broken down, [for] they [are] unclean and shall be unclean unto you.

36 Nevertheless a fountain or cistern where water is collected shall be clean; but that which touches their carcase shall be unclean.

37 And if [any part] of their carcase falls upon any sown seed which is sown, it [shall be] clean.

38 But if [any] water is put upon the seed and [any part] of their carcase falls thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you.

39 And if any animal of which ye may eat dies, he that touches the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the evening;

40 and he that eats of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; likewise he that bears the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

41 And every reptile that creeps upon the earth [is] an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Whatever goes upon the belly and whatever goes upon four or more feet among all reptiles that creep upon the earth, ye shall not eat; for it is abomination.

43 Ye shall not defile your souls with any reptile that creeps, neither shall ye contaminate yourselves with them, that ye should be unclean with them.

44 For I [am] the LORD your God; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy; neither shall ye defile your souls with any reptile that moves upon the earth.

45 For I [am] the LORD that causes you to come up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I [am] holy.

46 This is the law of the animals and of the fowls and of every living creature that moves in the waters and of every animal that creeps upon the earth:

47 to make a difference between the unclean and the clean and between the animals that may be eaten and the animals that may not be eaten.:
