1
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872] and to Aaron[H175], saying[H559] unto them,
2Speak[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], These[H2063] are the beasts[H2416] which ye shall eat[H398] among all the beasts[H929] that are on the earth[H776].
3
Whatsoever parteth[H6536] the hoof[H6541], and is clovenfooted[H8156], and cheweth[H5927] the cud[H1625], among the beasts[H929], that shall ye eat[H398].
4Nevertheless[H389] these shall ye not eat[H398] of them that chew[H5927] the cud[H1625], or of them that divide[H6536] the hoof[H6541]: as the camel[H1581], because he cheweth[H5927] the cud[H1625], but divideth[H6536] not the hoof[H6541]; he is unclean[H2931] unto you.
5
And the coney[H8227], because he cheweth[H5927] the cud[H1625], but divideth[H6536] not the hoof[H6541]; he is unclean[H2931] unto you.
6
And the hare[H768], because he cheweth[H5927] the cud[H1625], but divideth[H6536] not the hoof[H6541]; he is unclean[H2931] unto you.
7
And the swine[H2386], though he divide[H6536] the hoof[H6541], and be clovenfooted[H8156], yet he cheweth[H1641] not the cud[H1625]; he is unclean[H2931] to you.
8
Of their flesh[H1320] shall ye not eat[H398], and their carcase[H5038] shall ye not touch[H5060]; they are unclean[H2931] to you.
9
These shall ye eat[H398] of all that are in the waters[H4325]: whatsoever hath fins[H5579] and scales[H7193] in the waters[H4325], in the seas[H3220], and in the rivers[H5158], them shall ye eat[H398].
10
And all that have not fins[H5579] and scales[H7193] in the seas[H3220], and in the rivers[H5158], of all that move[H8318] in the waters[H4325], and of any living[H2416]thing[H5315] which is in the waters[H4325], they shall be an abomination[H8263] unto you:
11
They shall be even an abomination[H8263] unto you; ye shall not eat[H398] of their flesh[H1320], but ye shall have their carcases[H5038] in abomination[H8262].
12
Whatsoever hath no fins[H5579] nor scales[H7193] in the waters[H4325], that shall be an abomination[H8263] unto you.
13
And these are they which ye shall have in abomination[H8262]among[H4480] the fowls[H5775]; they shall not be eaten[H398], they are an abomination[H8263]: the eagle[H5404], and the ossifrage[H6538], and the ospray[H5822],
14
And the vulture[H1676], and the kite[H344] after his kind[H4327];
15
Every raven[H6158] after his kind[H4327];
16
And the owl[H1323], and the night hawk[H8464], and the cuckow[H7828], and the hawk[H5322] after his kind[H4327],
17
And the little owl[H3563], and the cormorant[H7994], and the great owl[H3244],
18
And the swan[H8580], and the pelican[H6893], and the gier eagle[H7360],
19
And the stork[H2624], the heron[H601] after her kind[H4327], and the lapwing[H1744], and the bat[H5847].
20
All fowls[H5775] that creep[H8318], going[H1980] upon all four[H702], shall be an abomination[H8263] unto you.
21
Yet these may ye eat[H398] of every flying[H5775]creeping[H8318] thing that goeth[H1980] upon all four[H702], which have legs[H3767]above[H4605] their feet[H7272], to leap[H5425]withal[H2004] upon the earth[H776];
22
Even these of them ye may eat[H398]; the locust[H697] after his kind[H4327], and the bald locust[H5556] after his kind[H4327], and the beetle[H2728] after his kind[H4327], and the grasshopper[H2284] after his kind[H4327].
23
But all other flying[H5775] creeping things[H8318], which have four[H702]feet[H7272], shall be an abomination[H8263] unto you.
24
And for these ye shall be unclean[H2930]: whosoever toucheth[H5060] the carcase[H5038] of them shall be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153].
25
And whosoever beareth[H5375] ought of the carcase[H5038] of them shall wash[H3526] his clothes[H899], and be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153].
26
The carcases of every beast[H929] which divideth[H6536] the hoof[H6541], and is not clovenfooted[H8157], nor cheweth[H5927] the cud[H1625], are unclean[H2931] unto you: every one that toucheth[H5060] them shall be unclean[H2930].
27
And whatsoever[H3605]goeth[H1980] upon his paws[H3709], among all manner of beasts[H2416] that go[H1980] on all four[H702], those are unclean[H2931] unto you: whoso toucheth[H5060] their carcase[H5038] shall be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153].
28
And he that beareth[H5375] the carcase[H5038] of them shall wash[H3526] his clothes[H899], and be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153]: they are unclean[H2931] unto you.
29
These also shall be unclean[H2931] unto you among the creeping things[H8318] that creep[H8317] upon the earth[H776]; the weasel[H2467], and the mouse[H5909], and the tortoise[H6632] after his kind[H4327],
30
And the ferret[H604], and the chameleon[H3581], and the lizard[H3911], and the snail[H2546], and the mole[H8580].
31
These are unclean[H2931] to you among all that creep[H8318]: whosoever doth touch[H5060] them, when they be dead[H4194], shall be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153].
32
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead[H4194], doth fall[H5307], it shall be unclean[H2930]; whether it be any vessel[H3627] of wood[H6086], or raiment[H899], or skin[H5785], or sack[H8242], whatsoever vessel[H3627] it be, wherein any work[H4399] is done[H6213], it must be put[H935] into water[H4325], and it shall be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153]; so it shall be cleansed[H2891].
33
And every earthen[H2789]vessel[H3627], whereinto any of them falleth[H5307], whatsoever is in it shall be unclean[H2930]; and ye shall break[H7665] it.
34
Of all meat[H400] which may be eaten[H398], that on which such water[H4325]cometh[H935] shall be unclean[H2930]: and all drink[H4945] that may be drunk[H8354] in every such vessel[H3627] shall be unclean[H2930].
35
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase[H5038]falleth[H5307] shall be unclean[H2930]; whether it be oven[H8574], or ranges[H3600] for pots, they shall be broken down[H5422]: for they are unclean[H2931], and shall be unclean[H2931] unto you.
36
Nevertheless a fountain[H4599] or pit[H953], wherein there is plenty[H4723] of water[H4325], shall be clean[H2889]: but that which toucheth[H5060] their carcase[H5038] shall be unclean[H2930].
37
And if any part of their carcase[H5038]fall[H5307] upon any sowing[H2221]seed[H2233] which is to be sown[H2232], it shall be clean[H2889].
38
But if any water[H4325] be put[H5414] upon the seed[H2233], and any part of their carcase[H5038]fall[H5307] thereon, it shall be unclean[H2931] unto you.
39
And if any beast[H929], of which ye may eat[H402], die[H4191]; he that toucheth[H5060] the carcase[H5038] thereof shall be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153].
40
And he that eateth[H398] of the carcase[H5038] of it shall wash[H3526] his clothes[H899], and be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153]: he also that beareth[H5375] the carcase[H5038] of it shall wash[H3526] his clothes[H899], and be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153].
41
And every creeping thing[H8318] that creepeth[H8317] upon the earth[H776] shall be an abomination[H8263]; it shall not be eaten[H398].
42
Whatsoever goeth[H1980] upon the belly[H1512], and whatsoever goeth[H1980] upon all four[H702], or whatsoever hath more[H7235]feet[H7272] among all creeping things[H8318] that creep[H8317] upon the earth[H776], them ye shall not eat[H398]; for they are an abomination[H8263].
43
Ye shall not make[H8262]yourselves[H5315]abominable[H8262] with any creeping thing[H8318] that creepeth[H8317], neither shall ye make[H8262]yourselves[H5315]unclean[H2933] with them, that ye should be defiled[H2930] thereby.
44
For I am the LORD[H3068] your God[H430]: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves[H6942], and ye shall be holy[H6918]; for I am holy[H6918]: neither shall ye defile[H2930]yourselves[H5315] with any manner of creeping thing[H8318] that creepeth[H7430] upon the earth[H776].
45
For I am the LORD[H3068] that bringeth[H5927] you up out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], to be your God[H430]: ye shall therefore be holy[H6918], for I am holy[H6918].
46
This is the law[H8451] of the beasts[H929], and of the fowl[H5775], and of every living[H2416]creature[H5315] that moveth[H7430] in the waters[H4325], and of every creature[H5315] that creepeth[H8317] upon the earth[H776]:
47
To make a difference[H914] between the unclean[H2931] and the clean[H2889], and between the beast[H2416] that may be eaten[H398] and the beast[H2416] that may not be eaten[H398].
