Leviticus 11

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

Speak ye to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.

3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat.

4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.

But of these ye shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

5 And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.

And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

6 And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you.

And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

7 And the swine, because he parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you.

And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they are unclean to you.

Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.

9 These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.

And these [are] what ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these ye shall eat.

10 And all that have no fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,

And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.

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

Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall abhor their carcases.

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

And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.

13 And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,

And these are the things which ye shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.

14 and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;

15 every raven after its kind,

and the sparrow, and the owl, and the sea-mew, and the like to it:

16 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind,

and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,

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

and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,

18 and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,

and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,

19 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.

20 All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you.

And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.

21 Yet these ye may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth,

But these ye shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.

22 even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

And these of them ye shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like.

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

Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.

24 and by these ye shall become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.

And by these ye shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.

25 And whoever bears any of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.

26 Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.

And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.

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

And every one among all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.

28 And he who bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.

And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.

29 And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,

And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,

30 and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.

the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.

31 These are those which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.

32 And upon whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack. Whatever vessel it be, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, then it shall be clean.

And on whatsoever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and [then] it shall be clean.

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

And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatsoever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.

34 All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean, and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come [from such a vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.

35 And everything upon which any 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.

And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.

36 Nevertheless a fountain or a pit in which is a gathering of water shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.

Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases shall be unclean.

37 And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.

38 But if water is put upon the seed, and any of their carcass falls in it, it is unclean to you.

But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.

39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, dies, he who touches the carcass of it shall be unclean until the evening.

And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.

40 And he who eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.

41 And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.

42 Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat, for they are an abomination.

And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—ye shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.

43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by it.

And ye shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and ye shall not be polluted with them, and ye shall not be unclean by them.

44 For I am Jehovah your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and become ye holy, since I am holy. Neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moves upon the earth.

For I am the Lord your God; and ye shall be sanctified, and ye shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and ye shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.

45 For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and ye shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.

46 This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth,

This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping 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.

to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
