Leviticus 11
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast which you eat out of all the beasts which [are] on the earth:
3 Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts — that shall ye eat.
any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.
4 Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof: the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not dividing—it [is] unclean to you;
5 and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
and the hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to you;
6 and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;
and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [is] unclean to you;
7 and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you.
and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet it does not bring up the cud—it [is] unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.
You do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass—they [are] unclean to you.
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;
This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them you eat;
10 but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters — they shall be an abomination unto you.
and anything that does not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which lives, which [is] in the waters—they [are] an abomination to you;
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.
indeed, they are an abomination to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you detest their carcass.
12 Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.
13 And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
And these you detest of the bird—they are not eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,
14 and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind;
and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
15 every raven after its kind;
every raven after its kind,
16 and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;
and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
17 and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,
and the waterhen, and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture,
19 and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.
Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.
21 Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.
Only, this you eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which has legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;
22 These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.
these of them you 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;
23 But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.
and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.
24 And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;
25 And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.
and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—
26 Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and is not bringing up the cud—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against them is unclean.
27 And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
And anything going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;
28 And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.
and he who is lifting up their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—they [are] unclean to you.
29 And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;
And this [is] the unclean to you among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the muroid, and the tortoise [[or large lizard]] after its kind,
30 and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.
and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;
31 These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
these [are] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; anyone who is coming against them in their death is unclean until the evening.
32 And on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done — it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
And anything on which anyone of them falls, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and has been unclean until the evening, then it has been clean;
33 And every earthen vessel into which [any] of them falleth — whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which [any] one of them falls, all that [is] in its midst is unclean, and you break it.
34 All food that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel.
Of all the food which is eaten, that on which comes [such] water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any [such] vessel is unclean;
35 And everything where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
and anything on which [any] of their carcass falls is unclean; oven or double pots, it is broken down, they [are] unclean, indeed, they are unclean to you.
36 Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
Only, a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcass is unclean;
37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;
and when [any] of their carcass falls on any sown seed which is sown—it [is] clean;
38 but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on it—it [is] unclean to you.
39 And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
And when any of the beasts which are for food for you dies, he who is coming against its carcass is unclean until the evening;
40 And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.
and he who is eating of its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening.
41 And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;
42 Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth — these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
anything going on the belly, and any going on four, to every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth—you do not eat them, for they [are] an abomination;
43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
you do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you have been unclean with them.
44 For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth.
For I [am] your God YHWH, and you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] holy; and you do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on 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] YHWH who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and you have been holy, for I [am] holy.
46 This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth;
This [is] a law of the beasts, and of the bird, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth,
47 to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.
to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.”
