Leviticus 11

1 After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying vnto them,

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

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, These are the beastes which yee shall eate, among all the beasts that are on the earth.

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.

3 Whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and is clouen footed, and cheweth the cudde, among the beastes, that shall ye eate.

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

4 But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them yee shall not eate: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not ye hoofe, he shall be vncleane vnto you.

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.

5 Likewise the conie, because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe, he shall bee vncleane to you.

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

6 Also the hare, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not the hoofe, he shalbe vncleane to you.

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

7 And the swine, because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shalbe vncleane to you.

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

8 Of their flesh shall yee not eate, and their carkeise shall yee not touch: for they shall bee vncleane to you.

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

9 These shall ye eate, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes and skales in ye waters, in the seas, or in the riuers, them shall ye eate.

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.

10 But all that haue not finnes nor skales in the seas, or in the riuers, of all that moueth in the waters, and of al liuing things that are in the waters, they shalbe an abomination vnto you.

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,

11 They, I say, shalbe an abomination to you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, but shall abhorre their carkeis.

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

12 Whatsoeuer hath not fins nor skales in the waters, that shalbe abomination vnto you.

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

13 These shall ye haue also in abomination among the foules, they shall not be eaten: for they are an abomination, the eagle, and the goshauke, and the osprey:

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,

14 Also the vultur, and the kite after his kinde,

and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

15 And all rauens after their kinde:

every raven after its kind,

16 The ostrich also, and the night crowe, and the seameaw, and the hauke after his kinde:

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

17 The litle owle also, and the connorant, and the great owle.

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

18 Also the redshanke and the pelicane, and the swanne:

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

19 The storke also, the heron after his kinde, and the lapwing, and the backe:

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

20 Also euery foule that creepeth and goeth vpon all foure, such shalbe an abomination vnto you.

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

21 Yet these shall ye eate: of euery foule that creepeth, and goeth vpon all foure which haue their feete and legs all of one to leape withal vpon the earth,

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,

22 Of them ye shall eate these, the grashopper after his kinde, and the solean after his kinde, the hargol after his kinde, and the hagab after his kind.

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.

23 But al other foules that creepe and haue foure feete, they shalbe abomination vnto you.

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

24 For by such ye shalbe polluted: whosoeuer toucheth their carkeis, shalbe vncleane vnto the euening.

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

25 Whosoeuer also beareth of their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil euen.

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

26 Euery beast that hath clawes deuided, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.

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.

27 And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beastes that goeth on all foure, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: who so doth touch their carkeis shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.

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.

28 And he that beareth their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the euen: for such shalbe vncleane vnto you.

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

29 Also these shalbe vncleane to you amog the things that creepe and moue vpon the earth, the weasell, and the mouse, and the frog, after his kinde:

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,

30 Also the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the molle.

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

31 These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.

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.

32 Also whatsoeuer any of the dead carkeises of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane, whether it be vessel of wood, or rayment, or skinne, or sacke: whatsoeuer vessel it be that is occupied, it shalbe put in the water as vncleane vntil the euen, and so be purified.

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.

33 But euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane, and ye shall breake it.

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

34 Al meate also that shalbe eaten, if any such water come vpon it, shalbe vncleane: and all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane.

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.

35 And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot shalbe broken: for they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you.

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.

36 Yet the fountaines and welles where there is plentie of water shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkeises shalbe vncleane.

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.

37 And if there fal of their dead carkeis vpon any seede, which vseth to be sowe, it shalbe cleane.

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

38 But if any water be powred vpon ye seede, and there fal of their dead carkeis thereon, it shall be vncleane vnto you.

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

39 If also any beast, whereof ye may eate, die, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shall be vncleane vntil the euen.

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

40 And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he also that beareth the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.

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.

41 Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination, and not be eaten.

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

42 Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure, or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth, ye shall not eate of them, for they shalbe abomination.

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.

43 Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth, neither make your selues vncleane with them, neither defile your selues thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them,

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.

44 For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be holy, for I am holy, and defile not your selues with any creeping thing, that creepeth vpon the earth.

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.

45 For I am the Lord that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.

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.

46 This is the law of beasts, and of foules, and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth:

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,

47 That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane, and betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.

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.
